 6'3"
220 lb. Black bodybuilder Aron Ridge and I got together in West Hollywood
for a shoot in April 2007. He looked great in photos of me he sent but in
person he was even bigger! He tells me he has weighed more before
but this is the cuttest he's gotten. He's a personal trainer (no surprise
there) who loves lifting and moved to L.A. recently from San Diego. He just
got certified in California and is looking for clients.
He brought
a great selection of clothes over but we only had time to use some of them,
like the lace shirt his chest barely stays inside of or the front buttoning
sailor's pants. He's so easy to photograph we ended up with over 150 good
photos! He really enjoys flexing for the camera and is a natural exhibitionist
who takes direction. And Aron knows how to pose in boxing gloves since he
used to be a boxer as a kid.
But he's also a Baritone singer specializing
in R&B and Neo-Soul. He tells me "I had a recording contract with
a group under the MCA label in the 1990s. I've sung background with R. Kelly
and Keith Sweat and now I'm getting back into the music scene since I'm
back in LA. |
