I was updating the photos on my photo wall the other day with some more recent images. I had inadvertently put two shots of Nelson Antonio next to each other. It was great to see the growth in his posing and look.

The first photo in the trees was from our first shoot together back in September 2007 when he was using his first name of Nelson.

The most recent shot is from our last shoot in February of 2009. He now goes by his middle name of Antonio.

Obviously Antonio has grown and matured in his modeling skills. It's great to be able to follow a model in his career and see that growth. It brings a great sense of satisfaction to me as a photographer to see the results of the creative process.
