I got an email from Andrew @ Soul Artist Management saying that top model Blaine Cook was in town and would like for me to photograph him. I was so excited because I have followed his career from the beginning and loved the body of work he's done.

He's worked with some of the most amazing photographers in the world like Steven Miesel for Calvin Klein and Vogue Italia. He's also appeared in some of my favorite magazines like GQ Style, V Man and Arena Homme +. I was a little nervous and intimidated. What could I possibly add to his portfolio that he didn't have already?

When Blaine arrived, we sat down and chatted a bit about his career and what he felt he needed from me. We decided to go with images that we classic and clean that would showcase a maturer side of Blaine. That was right up my alley.....classic and clean is what i'm know for.
