24-year-old Model Denerick came to visit us in Chicago from Georgia. His light-hearted energy was apparent from the first hello and helped to keep things lose on the set. By the end of the shoot he said he didn’t want to leave…… we should have kept him around!

Julious Rachon

April 19, 2009 – 2:30 am

I have had the pleasure of working with Model Julious Rachon twice, which I think accounts for half of his professional photo shoots. He practically begged to do the latest athletically themed shoot and his energy really shines in these photos.

Sean Parris

April 7, 2009 – 1:12 am

The moment Sean walked through the door… I was like “whoa.” His facial features are so distinctive – he was made to model. Right off the bat, stylist Isaac King and I leaned in to one another and whispered, “now were going to get some pictures.”

Gerald Conrad

April 4, 2009 – 5:06 am

When I first saw Gerald Conrad’s portfolio, I thought he had a lot of potential and his appearance in my studio didn’t disappoint. While 21-year-old Gerald has a boy next door persona, he exudes sex appeal in front of the camera.
