As appropriate for Marvel's First Avenger, this portrait was the first in what would become an ever expansive exploration in the world of imagination and pretend. 

This is an artist test-of-concept self portrait. Often throughout this series, I would test many concepts on myself before bringing in particular models. But this image has stood the test of time in this series as one of the showcase pieces that nails the combination of concept and model personality. 

What started out as a gag self-portrait turned into something of a staple for my photo shoots with a clear message. In the end regardless of how different you feel or how other's make you feel, remember we all shit. It is now not uncommon for any of models to get a bathroom selfie taken of them at the end.
