Wow, going for a high budget casual look! It’s not bad but I feel the glasses are out of place, and they are too narrow for his face. Apart from that, I love the shoes :P.

@Kjeld – I know how you feel. I had the same problem when I tried photographing a friend of mine a couple of months ago. Everything was perfect – great setting, amazing outfit, pretty girl wearing it, and then those shades! I did the exact same as you have with these pictures, otherwise she’d seen me hanging on both her nostrils afterwards :).
Anyway, I still feel the glasses are a bit out of place in this picture. They are too “too cool for school” for his overall look, in my opinion.

You see the top half of the first picture and it’s like woah! He’s so cool! Then you scroll down and see the REST of the picture. And it’s like he forgot his pants. I think he looks cool, kinda. I love the shoes and for someone reason I really love the way the shirt hem is at the bottom. However, if he was in America, people would probably wonder wear his pants were. But i suppose it’s because typically in America, guys almost never wear shorts that are above the knee. Ever. But yeah.
This guy is cool, and I’d like to see what he looks like behind his glasses.

@Kjeld: I somewhat find the shorts amusing. But I seriously LOVE the shirt. =)

@Kjeld: Right? They’re quite scandalous XDDD
But I suppose that’s mostly because he looks like he’s half dressed hahaha. And that kind of thing tends to attract attention….
