The Mo, slang for Mustache, has taken over the month of November and Studio 3!

Movember, as it is known, is international awareness month for prostate cancer. Men everywhere are encouraged to grow their own signature mustache for the month of November, raising awareness and money for several prostate cancer groups, including Live Strong and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The official Movember website includes the history of the month-long celebration, as well as dozens of ways you can help support the cause, including some hilarious Movember-inspired merchandise, from t-shirts to mustache-shaped cuff links.

Studio 3’s portrait photographer, Lucien Knuteson, got in on the Movember fun, photographing over a dozen portraits of men and their Mo’s in our Seattle studio. From all ages and backgrounds, all lengths and styles of mustache, Lucien captured the essence of what being a “Man with a Mustache” is all about.

Eat your heart out, Tom Selleck.
