Will was trying to get signed with one of our new coastal agencies and needed some material for submission. As of last week, he has contract in hand. (Feel free to C&C as you See)

I like 2 & 6 alot, very nice. Don't care much for the processing on the others but that really is a preference rather than a critique.

1,2,3, and 5 are where it's at! Bangin' pics!

Darren Troy C

Thanks for taking the time to comment and thanks to the both of ya for your kind words....seriously.

I really like 1,2 and 5. They expressed different mood but all are executed perfectly. BTW, what does Will do? Is he a musician or a model?

Darren Troy C

Neither. He used to be with a company that produced infommercials and now works at Ruby Tuesday's between casting calls. He's got a great look and will be doing some runway work, and what I imagine will lead in to print and editorial work. Thanks for commenting.

Ohhh I like them

The only one that I really don't care for is #1 (to grainy / not my favorite) and maybe #4 (he has a halo all around his body). But the others are really cool.

Might want to take the line under his eyes away tough

Very cool!

I really like 2 and 4. I find it interesting that these were for a model portfolio since the style/processing etc seems much more "done" than I associate with model shots (that's not a negative comment btw, because I really like these, just an observation). Does this mean that model portfolios are moving to including a more "promo" style? (I could easily imagine these as web promo for an actor, a CD cover etc etc etc)

It's a great set!

Thanks for the compliments you guys! DM, it was a request from the agency. Will had submitted some shots (not from me) that were not received well at all. They knew he had a look that they were after and asked him to cut his hair (just past shoulder length and straight as a board) and reshoot in a much more liberal, editorial style. He had missed Charleston Fashion Week by just a few weeks and they wanted to involve him in bookings as soon as possible...IF it was possible. So, I specifically tailored his shoot in such a manner and 48hrs after shooting, he had a contract in the mail.

Ok, that makes sense (and thanks for clarifying that this is considered "editorial" style. I know NOTHING about fashion/model shooting, so that's helpful info ). And I still like the set
