"I have to keep going. Think about football," the tentative André joked out loud, trying not to get carried away by the naked woman in front of him. "Football, basketball, baseball. It keeps you going."
To loosen up the model, as well as himself, in between rolls of film André took sweet pleasure helping the stylist rub glow lotion, a.k.a. "pimp juice," all over Alejandra's bronze body. As with taking his pictures, he took his time helping Alejandra slather herself in "special sauce."
André soon conquered his nerves. In fact, midway through the shoot, Dré got so close to Alejandra with his camera that it wouldn't focus. When told he needed to pull back, Dré countered, "We need to get a better lens, brother."
After Dré's marathon session came to a close, he admitted, "I was a little bit nervous at first, because I didn't know how far to go with it. It was more than taking pictures for me. I was actually enjoying looking at her. It was more than what I expected. I had a beautiful girl with a nice attitude, which made her even more beautiful."
Singer, poet, painter, actor, filmmaker and, now, photographer, André 3000 is OutKast's multi-disciplined Renaissance man. As you can tell by the photos in his Playboy portfolio, he has mastered yet another medium.
