Photo Shoot with Dario Acosta

On November 15, 2011, I shot with photographer Dario Acosta as a runner for a project he’s working on. We were aiming for gritty runner shots and portraits. We did shots of me running in place, and we did shots of me in front of a background made up of old tile flooring.

The shots were incredible. Dario will be taking the running shots and superimposing them over gritty exterior shots to give the sense that I’m running outdoors. For now, below are some of the portraits from the shoot. I’m really pleased with them and I’m excited about what’s to come.
