The Amazing Dr. Flux

I recently saw a snapshot of Dr. Flux on Facebook in his half woman half man persona and immediately got in touch with him to see what we could do together in the studio. He brought some costuming but we decided to go for the stripped down approach to really emphasize the message.  I shot the profiles to possibly use next to each other and while we were editing Flux suggested looking at the full nude shot in between the individual profiles and this is the result. Below is the tighter single that we liked best. I’ll go out on a limb and predict some contest wins down the road.
