Back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, I shot a lot of assignments for People Magazine. I never thought I would shoot for the Sexiest Man issue. Who knew?!
The subject was Lee Godwin, owner of Skydive Miami. He was a former model and was a stunt skydiver in movies such as Passenger 57. He was very nice and actually offered to take me skydiving. I politely declined and shot these on the ground with my Hasselblad 501CM! The portrait was shot with the 80mm lens and the wing photo with a 40mm. Fuji Provia 100, 120 chrome. Lit with a Dynalite 400 UniJr.
