What better way to spend an early summer day than with a day at the beach. Stylist Isaac King and I decided to do a lifestyle shoot with three tall good looking black models: Jaquez Andre, Sherrod Antionne, and Isaiah Ross. Sherrod was only there for a minute, Isaac cast Isaiah and I cast Jaquez. “John and I bet on who’s model would be better,” King explained. “In the end it was a draw. Isaiah had a better expressions in the life style images, but Jaquez had the better movement. Well DUH! Jaquez is a professional dancer.”
Check the guy out in the car... staring. After cindy did makeup on all three guys she says to us "'Thank you for giving me models with perfect skin.' I replied 'no prob, they came with their own airbrushing.'" - Stylist Isaac King
"Isaiah and I pretend we found humor in the bait shop on the other end of the beach." - Model Jaquez Andre
"I was nervous about not being able to deliver a great shot on the beach because it was freezing cold, I was wet, half naked, and in excruciating pain from running repeatedly while barefoot on rocks. I remember John telling me to think Baywatch and although I love to run, running through water is a totally different workout…I loved it and will definitely do it more often! Overall, this was a great experience for me and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!” - Model Isaiah Ross
"It was freezing! I swear I could not stop shivering and I think I might have sprained my big toe jumping in the water. I guess pain IS beauty." - Model Jaquez Andre

Wow, the mid-air shots! The body angles and the splashing water are fantastic.
