Undiscovered Gem, Andrew 

Andrew is a good friend, not only do we share the same name, we share the same age as well. He is stunning great looking model and is always eager to work hard and "just go with it".

I still remember the first time meeting Andrew, first thing I remember was his clean-cut looks and how he might look good on photos. Andrew's demeanor was very genuine and amiable. After few months of getting to know Andrew, I started to trow around the idea of possible photoshoots. 

As I discover more about Andrew, his good looks were not gone unnoticed. During his college years, Andrew was offered modeling contracts multiple times, which he has declined to focus on his studies. When the idea of possible photoshoot came around, it has sparked his interest in possible modeling career again. 

Discussing what we wanted to do for the shoot was a bit difficult. I was still figuring out my style with look-book shoots and Andrew has never done a shoot before for modeling, so it was definitely a learning experience for both of us. 

Discovering each other's style and comfort zone was the key. Awesome truth was that Andrew was open for suggestion and is happy-go-lucky guy who will allow experimentation to flourish into something cool. 

Andrew is definitely a good company to have around. His positive vibe definitely radiates through his presence and interactions. He has now hung up his modeling hat for a second. But hopefully in the near future he will come back in front of lens and show off again. 

The Second Encounter,

Soon after the first shoot with Andrew, we met up again for the second shoot. This time around, we were in for business. Being more comfortable with each other's style definitely had pleasant effect. Trying out bit more formal style on clothes and concept definitely changed the dynamics.

Andrew was more comfortable in front of the lens, which gave me a chance to push him bit more on trying out different looks and expressions. Still hoping that I can produce more shoots with him and hope that he will keep modeling career in his mind.
