Male model Kristian Kennedy stepped out in “Baywatch” inspired lifeguard trunks for his moment in the sun at the Bikini Open Shoot Challenge on June 28.
The challenge found eight models working with nine photographers, who were given the task of judging the participants on qualities such as posing, creativity and willingness to take direction. The annual competition is held at Hammonassett Beach State Park in Madison, Conn.
