32 Minutes with Noah Benezra

Noah Benezra is hilarious. Like a younger version of Mark Siano but on crack coffee and black tar maple syrup.

Seriously.

And may I add, the perfect energetic mix for his current character “Wolf” in Bed Snake at Washington Ensemble Theatre.

When I originally asked Noah if he’s like to be featured here on PhotoSister.com I asked him if he had any cool concepts and his answer involved cooking bacon, which is AWESOME. Oh yes, this shoot is a big professional nod to my creativeLIVE junkies out there (you know who you are). For those of you who don’t know creativeLIVE, it’s a live interactive photography workshop that airs across the globe and the course chat rooms frenzy on the word “bacon”. (DRINK!)

As soon as I arrived at his door step my energy went from 7 to 11 in 17.8 seconds and we quickly came up with three concepts all involving consumables that punches your energy then makes you crash. All good things for a ridiculously enthusiastic shoot. Noah, thanks for rockin’ this shoot out!

This pan of bacon was lovingly made especially for creativeLIVE junkies by actor Noah Benezra.

Noah‘s nod to my homies. Thanks man 😉
