Outtakes. (One of my favorite photographers) Gabriel Gastelum shares outtakes of Afghan veteran turned model Alex Minksy’s recent underwear shoot. 

Gabriel Gastelum, the photographer behind viral hits discusses his art, getting models naked and what he looks for in a man:

What inspired the concept of this popular photo shoot featuring Parker Hurley?

The concept was actually Parker’s idea. He wanted to do a fun shoot that would capture his actual personality. So what you see on there is exactly how he is. In his undies, surrounded by his artwork, watching cartoons or playing video games. It’s his favorite way to spend his Saturday morning. So we aimed to capture that. Which was perfect, because that is my strongest area: Lifestyle photography.

What’s a typical Saturday morning for you?

Waking up late. Watching some Golden Girls. And it either goes one way or another. I go out and enjoy a beautiful Los Angeles day, or I am working. Weekends for a photographer are always filled with a little work. I am lazy as often as possible. Naps. Naps are good. Cupcake breaks. Good as well. I do love a good hike as well.
