CONGRATS ROBERT EVANS @ Major NYC

Coming off the international campaign for CK One, I'm proud to see Robert Evans @ Major along side supermodels Naomi Campbell and Natalia Vodianova . I remember  when his booker first called me asking me to do a test shoot with him. Many photographers were reluctant to work with him in the beginning because he's not the industry standard size. I didn't care about that industry standard shit, I saw a star in the making. If I never get the opportunity to work with him again, I'm happy to know that I was one the first photographers in NY  that helped show that he doesn't haveta be the usual industry standard  to be a superstar in this industry. I am so happy for him...he's shutting the naysayers down with one fashion moment at a time. :)

THE NEXT MALE SUPERMODEL.... ROBERT EVANS @ Major Model Mgmt.

Many have tried but we really haven't had a black male model stir up a buzz since the legendary Tyson Beckford. The latest candidate to step in front of the lens is England's import Robert Evans, currently represented by Major Model Mgmt. Everything about Robert is SUPER....his face, his body, his size, and his personality is SUPER cool......most importantly he is SUPER gracious and humble. This past NY fashion week had designers scrambling to include his SUPER presence in their runway shows. Photographers  have been breaking necks to get the opportunity to capture his SUPER-NESS in front of their lens.

good genetics plus a great attitude = Victor Ross II

(more to come ...soon)

It was a Friday night and model Victor Ross II hit me up on facebook asking if wanted to shoot tomorrow. I had been wanting to work with him for years but our schedules never allowed for it. Of course I said yes. I always warm up with portraits and the images above are the results. You'll see plenty more of Mr. Ross and our collaboration very soon.

introducing ASHLEE DESIRE @ Major Model Mgmt - Germany

 

Ashlee Desire @ Major Model Mgmt./ Munich

Coming from California, Ashlee Desire, currently represented by Major model Mgmt. in Munich, Germany, brings a fresh energy to New York that inspires everyone she comes in contact with. I met Ashlee in 2007 at a fashion show in Times Square. She scared me - yelling and clapping at the the models. I thought she was gonna snatch one of the guys off the catwalk when they walked out in a barely there speedos, LOL.  When she realized she was sitting next to me in the front row, she insisted I look at her book ( she actually had it with her). Her book was amazing and her energy was so exciting and fun - we exchanged phone numbers and now in 2010 we came together to create some great fashion shots.
Ashlee Desire ( yes, thats her real name) is a really good model who can quickly give you hard fierce and in the blink of an eye become soft and demure. She was in NY for a few days working and stopped by my place the morning she was to fly back to Munich, her new home. All i can say is she kill'd it. We put together some really great pics.

introducing: NIQUE JENKINS @ Major Model Mgmt.

Nique Jenkins' distinctive and dramatic look combined  with his piercing hazel/ green eyes sets him apart from so many black male models that look the same. Fresh from Indianapolis,Indiana, Nique is represented by Major Model Mgmt. and is anticipating a really good NY show season for F/W2010, clients seem to be in full agreement. Funny with southern charm and very hardworking, this Texan has all the right ingredients to go the distance.

Former football  player for the Atlanta Falcons, Mike Radon, has stepped into the arena of modeling currently represented by Major Model Mgmt. The agency sent him to test with me not knowing what to expect. Neither did I. Mike walked to thru the door with this really weird haircut that I didn't like. with my usual limited resources, I decided to create this monk/ Arab type hooded cloak. I was inspired by this photo of a Arab man on my wall and the styling of the Steven Klein fashion story in Japan Men's Vogue.

 

Most of the work Mike had done was centered around his amazing body. He is  what I call "black-boy-built." he was tall, muscular and bow-legged. I wanted to do something that made Mike a little bit more fashion editorial especially since muscular male models are making a return to the editorial scene.
