ISAAC KEYS on The Ultimate Merger featuring OMAROSA

check out my dude Isaac Keys....The show, officially titled Donald J. Trump Presents The Ultimate Merger, follows Reality villainess Omarosa Stallworth’s quest to find love amongst 12 eligible bachelors. The Ultimate Merger airs Thursdays on TV One at 9 p.m. ET.




I had the wonderful opportunity to work with former NFL football player Isaac Keys who was a linebacker for the Arizona Cardinalds. He was very down to earth and nice who is now focused on a modeling and acting career.
Check out the blog post I did about the shoot with him ..... here

Marcus Hill stepped off the football field and into the world of fashion with avengence. He is confident and possesses an energy that is contagious.

Marcus has a body like chiseled brick... perfection and he is completely comfortable showing it off. He had a lot of the typical commercial/ catalog-type images in his portfolio and I didn't want to do a repeat of the images in his book. A lot of times I find black guys tend to have boring forgettable books that focus on commercial. I wanted to use my time with him to shoot him in a super sexy and masculine way like i see many of the white male models. I wanted to also create images that were also artistic and lasting.
  



the thank you card he sent me....
One of the coolest things about my experience working with Marcus was the apperciation and thanks he showed by sending me a actual thank you card in the mail. It was one of the first time a model made me feel like the work we did was something they - themselves valued and treasured. 
THANK YOU MARCUS, FOR MAKING ME FEEL OFFICIAL...

introducing singer J'SUN


J'Sun is a 22 year old singer living in Brooklyn, New York. I ran across him singing on his page youtube. His voice is amazing... so much so that it prompt'd me contact him and set up a meeting to talk about working together. Once his 6 foot 2 modelesque frame was in front of me in person and he flashed his grandma dimples - it was definite...and these pics are the results of our collaboration.


 
i got me a free concert - he had to sing Maxwell's "Stop the World" about 4 times for me to get the shots above. J'Sun is absolutely amazing and so much fun to work with .....
