He said being photographed in the advertising environment was not his favorite, “torture” in fact. Consummate professional, he brought the necessary energy and performed the frames. Clients needs satisfied; I asked if we could try a less torturous approach for ourselves. Maybe an inner place, perhaps a quiet personal character. Dynamic and generous figure, Stallone delivered this sensitive, vulnerable, tough gaze. What a guy! Mogul, legend, man, human.
Shooting on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art added such a great layer. Rocky had a big impact on me and I know I’m not the only one.
Incidentally, our outdoor set blew away 3 minutes prior to our go time. Pop ups whirling in the air, lighting shifting, rain down pour. “1st Team walking!” Oh boy. Thanks Grant!
