Alek
Alek, 19, lives in Bratislava, and up until the nationwide lockdown, which has been in effect for several months, he spent a lot of time at the gym, either working on his own physique or assisting clients. Alek was a bit hesitant to do the photoshoot, claiming that he lost a lot of muscle mass and that he was in “really poor shape”.
We first met outside a shopping mall. He was wearing a hoodie and sweat pants (his usual and practically only attire) and I could tell by looking at him even with his clothes on that his “really poor shape” claim was not a concern at all.
During the photoshoot, Alek was a bit uneasy at first, but it didn’t take too long for him to overcome the awkwardness and for the remainder of the photoshoot he was very pleasant to work with.
