Colin met me for a very quick shoot at a midtown studio, he was just back from rowing all the way to Antarctica, yeah you read that right, so I was expecting him his skin to be burnt by the cold and saltwater but to my surprise he looked like he just exited the spa.
We exchanged a few moisturizing tips and shot this few options.
Read Colin’s book ’ The impossible first and follow his new adventures on his instagram.
