Kevin Gould

Some photos of model/actor Kevin Gould.  Another discovery of mine, Kevin made a splash in the world of modeling (2xist, Genre cover model, etc.) and is now moving into acting.  Kevin recently landed a roll in last Summer's horror flick Prom Night. Kevin is represented in NYC by Silver Model Management, in Miami by Ford Models and in LA by Nous Models.

Threading into the avant-garde

A new paradigm... a somewhat radical approach to things is always good.  Let's see where it goes.  From future presentations of MASCU and other stuff.

  

Philip Fusco

A few images from a recent shoot with Philip Fusco of Empire Models.  Other exclusive photos of Philip to be released in print.  More details when available.

"Discoveries" Series: Justin Z.

So many of you have emailed me asking what some of the models I've discovered been up to.  One that always gets asked about is Justin Z.  His modeling career has been taking off and he's getting lots of attention recently.  Justin recently shot a campaign for surf clothing line HangTen -- right up Justin's alley.  He's a surfer at heart.  His previous work has included a campaign for Rugby by Ralph Lauren, GQ Germany, and shoots with Bruce Webber, among others.

Justin will be included in my new fashion photography work coming in Spring of '09.  Watch for him.
