Parker Twins

Meet the Parker Twins. When I first met Austen and Tyler, I could not tell them apart. I noticed one of them had a blemish where the other one did not. However, as soon as we started shooting, I would throw something out like “Austen move to the left.” That way I would know who was who so I could give the rest of the direction.

"These guys were super sweet. But literally Austen does all the talking and gives all the direction while Tyler does what he's told. LOL. I guess they know what works for them!" - Stylist Isaac King

Stylist Richard Paden always finds a way to take his pants off on set. He seems to wear his best clothes inorder to keep them warm for the models.

"I wanted to do a Hamptons/Brooks brothers look, an Abercrombie/J Crew look & a rock-star look. They easily fell right into character and were very easy to mold." - Sylist Richard Paden

When you shoot girls together, they usually have no problem leaning on each other. A lot of guys tend to be inappropriately homophobic on set with other models. Shooting the twins was refreshing, because they never flinched when it came to interacting with one another.

"I remember someone on set saying that they reminded them of "children of the corn". I said that they were more "village of the damned". Don't u agree?!" - Stylist Isaac King

Make-up Artrist Deirdra Carney does double duty and holds a reflector for me. Most everyone on set at our shoots pitches in when needed. She also watched my back, so I wouldnt get ran over.

    Bravo on these! These guys are amazing and it seems everything came together perfectly in these shots. I especially love the yellow sweater pics, but yeah, all are excellent.
