Cut to the day of the shoot.  I thought shooting Flashed was a tight squeeze… After cramming six models, a make-up artist, an assistant, a wardrobe stylist and myself into a 4 person sauna, the space I had to work with in Flashed was a cathedral!  The models were troopers, often contorting their bodies into painful positions in order to fit into this space.  I think the wooden background was truly worth the cost in the end.  Add in the effect of hot sweaty men in hot suits enjoying a hot sauna…and I think we’ve got a pretty HOT series.  I hope these images inspire you to rethink your perception of the “speedo.”  Enjoy!  – JM
