Billy Noble

Billy and I met through our mutual facebook friend Denis Dwan in Australia. Billy it turned out was doing summer theater here in New Hampshire and was interested in getting started in modeling. So we connected recently for a few hours of shooting. We were able to get the use of a farm in Moultonborough, NH and the theater in Lake Region High School in Meredeth, NH for our locations. Billy and I hit it off well immediately and had a lot of fun creating his image. Let me know if you are interested in working with Billy, he is game for most anything.

Billy is a recent University of Oklahoma graduate in musical theater and is looking to make his mark in major productions across the country.

Philip Fusco, take 2

Philip and I got started early Saturday morning for our day on Fire Island, on the southern shore of Long Island, New York. After a diner breakfast of three pancakes, three scrambled eggs and toast (for Phil), we were off for the ferry. He slept all the way to the ferry in Sayville. At the marina, I couldn't leave Phil alone for five minutes without him panicking. The guys would begin to swarm around him the moment he was alone. I had to run back to the car for a moment and before I could get back he was on his cell phone wondering when I would get back to the boat line. He looked very relieved when I came around the corner.



The day was gorgeous...sunny, a light breeze off the ocean and sugary white sand in our feet. We were there early and set up shop. As others arrived at the shore they all kept their distance from our shoot set up...it was quite humorous that no one came close with their blanket but they stood close-by enthralled that a model as hot as Phil was being shot on the beach that day. I enlisted the help of a guy near us to hold the reflector during much of the shoot. We videoed most of the shoot and if you go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD2htrjkmWE you can see some of the action.


As before, Phil clicked into model mode and cranked out one amazing photo after another. He was at ease...joking with the other beachers and oogling the girls on the beach. Phil got us invited to about six parties that night but our day was only to be there for a few hours and that quickly came to an end with the arrival of our return ferry to the mainland.

It was a wonderful day of work and laughs and certainly not our last.

I need to thank N2N, Aussiebum, 2(x)ist and CockSox for their contributions of swim suits and underwear for the shoot.

Philip Fusco

A year ago I tried to work with Philip Fusco but things in NYC worked against us shooting. It was probably for the best as we both have grown in our skills, his as a model and me, a photographer. Philip and I got to spend three rainy days together in July 2009. While the weather and poor natural light made it difficult to do some of the shoots we wanted, we turned out some amazing images. Philip is an exceptional model and a real professional, always thinking about how he is looking in the camera. He likes to check the images frequently to be sure the camera is seeing what he hopes it is and if it isn't he changes what he is doing until it is perfect. He is full of ideas about the shoot and is willing to do almost anything for a successful collaboration.

We got along famously and are planning our next project before the end of the summer. Be sure to visit Phil's blog so you can see images that other photographers have gotten with him. http://phil4u.blogspot.com/

Marco

Marco shot with me in the summer of 2008. It was a three day shoot that got us some very cool photos for a first-time model. Marco, who is a student at Clemson, was very teachable and had a natural love for the camera. He could do well in modeling.

Sam Rogers

Sam is an accomplished dancer from Oregon. He was a ballet student at Julliard until he was plucked out to be in the latest version of West Side Story that is about to open on Broadway. Fun to work with, eager to try new things, he is creative and full of great ideas.

Colin Blyther

Colin Blyther is an amazing young man. "Discovered" by an Abercrombie scout, he put college on hold for a few years to jump at the chance to do some high class modeling. He and I shot in Miami in March 2008. He is represented by Irene Marie Models in South Beach. http://www.irenemarie.com. When he is not modeling, he can be found surfing, skateboarding, life guarding, being an EMT. His future goals will put him in the medical field.
