These photos are of a beautifully nice and nicely beautiful guy named Dago Marino. We went out to the sticks west of the Salt Lake Valley to shoot these in an old, cold (…and apparently haunted? We heard ghosts!) building, and ended up being there for quite a while. Possibly the coldest shoot to date, it was 20 degrees outside, and the wind would occasionally gust through all of the holes in the building. Dago gets a gold star for braving the elements for the sake of photography. I like this shoot because the images really portray the way weather was that day: Bitter, cold, and silent.

Dago’s one of those lucky people who got like, 6 knockout facial features where the average person only gets 1 or 2, so he’s photogenic, to say the least… But don’t let the babe factor fool you, he’s a really rad person. Not everybody is nice enough to lay in a freezing pile of dirty trash and rusty nails because I asked them to, and laugh while doing it.

Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:
