I did this shoot right after coming back from living in Vegas for a while and I still remember how sticky I felt in the newly humid air on the coast that day. I'd gotten used to the dryness of the desert and this CA climate was a welcome change for my skin. I've always loved the coast, both SoCal and NorCal so I'm always excited to go play in the sand with some models and see what happens. The sunset that night was GORGEOUS! I had a wonderful assistant with me, Zac Hill, and I was very satisfied with the pictures once I was able to get on my laptop and look them over. Leon was wonderful and I wish I could work with him again someday. For now though, I have this publication to teasure. You can too if you follow this link: http://www.blurb.com/b/5554255-leon-garcia

Baris Ari by Invicta's Art Photography

Had the pleasure of working with the epically talented Baris Ari last time I was in Venice, CA. Truly one of my favorite Longhair shoots to date! We strolled some grungy back alleys, ended up at the beach and then had pizza on the crowded boardwalk full of SoCal's most interesting people. I gave him  a choice of questions to answer afterwards and this is what he said. Thank you Baris for a wonderful time! Round 2 can't come soon enough!

1. Would you ever cut your hair?
   I would not ever want to cut it, but if an accident occurred and i lost a lot of hair, i would rock a mohawk!
2. 
   What made you want to grow it out?
    It was forbidden in my school, and the rebellious force in me was too strong!
3. 
   Favorite hairstyle? Down, ponytail, braid, bun, other?
   I am very simple with my hairstyles; I mostly wear it down and when there is too much wind or if i am eating I wear it in a ponytail.
4. 
   Do you think women like it? Have you ever gotten laid or not because of it?
   Duh!
5. 
   Have you ever wanted to dread it?
   Nah, it always seemed like too much work

   What is your least favorite thing about humanity?
   Over-confidence

   When is the car in front of me gonna speed up...
8. 
   If I came to your house for dinner what would you prepare for me?
   Yummy Turkish food like Stuffed Peppers or Iskender
9. 
   What’s your favorite song?
   "Wishbone Ash: Throw down the sword"  but my favorite songs change every couple months..
10. 
    What is one misconception people have about you?
    I seem cold-blooded to most people who don’t know me, but it’s mostly because i am just too laid back

Aaron Groben for Invicta's Longhairs coffee table book about Long Haired Men

Aaron Groben

Aaron Groben is an actor in LA I had the pleasure to work with and I will again for sure after being so pleased with how these images turned out. He's a hardworking man, always rushing from one audition to the next, often booking 4 or 5 gigs per week or more! I'm very happy he took the time to shoot with me. Here's the result! More Longhairs can be seen on my FB page:

One of my favorite shots of the day

Loved how Spring was starting to show in the city

Aaron, the pirate! ;) 

Look at that hottie!

A face to die for!

So gritty! I love it! 

We happened to find this truck parked and utilized it for a couple shots, urban cowboy? 

Aaron Groben for Invicta's Longhairs Interview

Aaron Groben for Invicta's Longhairs

the interview

Here's what LA actor Aaron Groben has to say about being a Longhair. I enjoyed his responses and hope you do to. Tell me what you think! 

1. What does having long hair mean to you? Is it a fashion statement or is it personally significant to you? If there is a deeper significance, what is it, please elaborate?

Long Hair has a masculinity and a wildness. I am untamed. I am wild at heart.

2. What made you want to grow it out? I grew it the first time cuz I wanted dreads. Grew it the other times because of the look, feel, style, and statement. Plus, think about any slow motion action sequence in a film. If the warrior has long hair it's infinitely more masculine, exciting, + active than short, non moving hair.

3. What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received regarding your hair? I was once awarded a Brad Pitt/Legends of the Fall Hair Award. Certificate and all.

4. Do you think women like it? Let's just say my future wife will love me for me but these long, blond locks are bonus

5. Favorite hairstyle? My favorite is that I dont have to have the same hairstyle everyday but that it can be an ever changing variable.

6. What do you think about when you're alone in your car? New tactics to pursue constant goals.

2. How would ppl communicate in a perfect world? Straightforward in love. Think about how JESUS communicates. It's controversial because it's so straightforward but it's all spoken in love.

3. If you could be anyone else, who would it be? I would never dream of being anyone other than me.

4. Cats or dogs? Cats...but only if it's a lion, panther, leopard, or cheetah. I guess a tiger would be okay too. 

5. Least favorite thing about humanity? Our sin nature. I want to see us living to our full potential.

I had the distinct pleasure of shooting with this bundle of Hotness recently and I'm proud to say he's one of the first Invicta's Longhairs to be included in my new coffee table book project on Long Haired Men. This will be a years-long process of finding and shooting the world's most intriguing Longhairs for you, getting their stories and comments and then compiling them into one very intense shot of extreme Longhair love for all you hair fetishists out there. Please help support this project by sprinkling some magic on me here:

Ash Armand, I loved how this background looked with his abs. ;)

We found this cool old bus on the Nelson Ghost Town property, climbed right in to find this awesome light.

It was his idea to do an 'ash' shoot, so we covered him in grease and charcol. Not a bad look for him, I must say. ;)
