Male Model Photo Shoot in Tree Was Dangerous

Male Model Photo Shoot in Tree Was Dangerous

By Shawn Petrovich of Totally Ripped of Los Angeles, which specializes in photography and video of fitness models.

Crew and models were staying at the Simonton Court Historic Inn for photo shoots in Key West. The hotel had an Orchard Tree blooming with purplish-pink flowers.

So, this model wanted to be photographed among the tree's flowers because they matched the design of his swimsuit.

So, the model climbed the Orchard tree and stood on a limb 18 feet above the ground. An assistant held onto the tree just outside the view if the camera lens.

The model got himself ready

And then found a pose without falling off the tree

Once the model was ready to pose, the photographer aimed his camera from the ground below

And another model strategically aimed a light reflector from below.

The shoot resulted in a colorful photo, but this shoot was dangerous for the model.
