Blond pool boy Lion Eden takes a dip

My favourite blond pool boy Lion was the perfect model for this balcony pool shoot. On a very warm day in Berlin I filled the inflatable pool just so I could get some photos of Lion wet in a speed. He was really intrigued by the set up and how this was going to work. We started with Lion posing in a speedo in various positions before getting naked. In this shoot he was using his own phone to see how he looked during the shoot. I'm a bit conflicted by a model watching their own reflection in a shoot, be it a phone or mirror. Often they are caught looking at themselves instead of the camera in the photos. So it becomes more of a distraction. I'm still happy with the photos we did get in the pool and the video we made afterwards. Lion is a gorgeous boy from northern German. I'm looking forward to shooting with him again.
