Corey Kirk by Chris Teel



I remember that when I first discovered Chris Teel's work I was impressed with his interior and studio work, (Jae Garcia & Sergio Hiram who were profiled on FH). I really loved how Chris used light, creative concepts, props and splashes of color to create beautiful, erotic and most of all unique shots.

More recently Chris has been doing more and more work outside (including Samuel Boux who was featured recently on FH). The challenges of exterior shoots are often much more complex as you have much less control of your environment, lighting in particular.

With a heatwave currently blanketing Eastern Canada and the North East US, Chris chose to make things even hotter by turning the temperature up even higher with his recent shoots with Corey Kirk. Corey has an amazing look, sultry with those beautiful green eyes and his amazing chest.



These shots were taken in a community garden in Toronto. Chris says he stumbled across it and thought it was a great oasis in the middle of the concrete jungle.

The shots were taken early this past Sunday morning:
'We had quite a bit of privacy, or so we thought. Corey and I would like to express our apologies to the poor woman who stumbled across our shoot.'

For some reason I am sure she was not bothered by it.



Like most people who achieve success, Corey Kirk had dreams of making it big, of becoming someone. Growing up in a small town in Northern Ontario he knew he had to formulate a plan so his dreams did not remain just something he wanted to do but became something he was actually doing. In 2005 Corey decided to leave his hometown to actively pursue his passion in modeling by dedicating every moment to fully understanding all aspects of business.

Corey did not just rely on his looks, he focused on both mind and body. Corey holds an undergraduate degree in marketing and a post-graduate degree in advertising. These degree's not will provide a great back up, but also help Corey's understanding of all sides of the business. Corey's hard work has led to a busy schedule of shoots, not only in Canada but in New York. His hard work and dedication is just beginning to pay off with international exposure and work.

“Every shoot you learn something new and grow as a model”
Corey Kirk



Chris Teel and Corey Kirk only recently met, but after just a couple of shoots a trust and mutual respect was quickly formed.

Corey says of Chris:

"I can hardly wait to get back in front of your camera again. To all models in the Toronto area, if you ever get the opportunity to work with this photographer, make sure you take it. Book him, show up, and this guys will get the best out of you!"

Chris says of Corey:

"Corey's phenomenal! I'd say, of the 100+ guys I've shot over the last year, that he's probably the most focused on succeeding in this industry. He works out several hours a day, 6 days a week to get that physique. He has a 'plan for success' and I have no doubt that he'll achieve his goals"

Chris tells me they have plans to shoot again soon so we can look forward to more work from Chris and Corey!

MODEL SEARCH 2011

With the success of contests launched by notable photographers such as Dylan Rosser, we are launching our own model search for the next great MALE MODEL! Photographer Chris Teel, along with, myself Tye Briggs, owner of FH, loved the idea so much we wanted to begin our own search to help the launch the career of an upcoming talent!

The Internet is full of hopefuls looking to break into the modeling world. Although there are many sites, like Model Mayhem ,which help talent get noticed, sometimes you need a leg up to get your career kick started and to get yourself noticed.

Chris Teel has helped launch the careers of many new models in Canada and the US. FH currently reaches as many as 25,000 visitors a day. If you have ever dreamed of being a model, want help building your portfolio and feel you might have what it takes to successful in the industry, Model Search 2011 might be the kick start you need!

FH and Chris Teel are launching MODEL SEARCH 2011!

Between now and December 4th, models are encouraged to apply to be the winner of Model Search 2011. Models should apply to FH (fhmodelsearch2011@yahoo.ca) starting today!

Between December 5th and December 7th our panel of 5 judges will select the top applicants for public voting. Public voting will occur between December 8th and January 1st with an winner announced on January 9th 2011.


The Winner will Receive
:

-Photo Shoot with Chris Teel

-$500 US (to be award upon completion of photo shoot).
-$200 H&M Gift Card

-Models must be able travel to one of the following cities for the shoot: Toronto, Montreal or New York.


-The winning model will be shot in a variety of looks, including artistic nudes - please ensure you're are comfortable with tasteful nudity before submitting your application-


Voting: Chris Teel and Tye Briggs are determined to have a positive contest without drama. Watching past model competitions it has been difficult to watch the negativity that sometimes comes with the voting process. We expect passion and determination but if any model and/or their fans partake in excessive voting (blogger determines one vote per cycle), or bringing a negative tone to the contest or other models we reserve the right to remove that model from the competition.

Model Search 2011 Judges:

Chris Teel: A few years ago Chris Teel gave up the security of a full time job to devote his full energy to his passion for photography. Moving from the West Coast of Canada to Toronto the leap of faith has led to Teel becoming one of Canada's hottest new photographers. In the past year and a half Teel has focused solely on photographing images of the male physique. Chris's focus is on hot new talent and in the past year has helped build the portfolios and the careers of Corey Kirk, Sammuel Boux, Jae Garcia and many more talented new models. Teel features his work on Fine Art Photography by Chris Teel found HERE:

Tye Briggs: By day Tye Briggs spends his days in court helping youth and families make their way through the court system. Keeping kids from a life behind bars can be stressful which is one of the reasons Tye unwinds by working on FH. FH launched almost 3 years ago and has grown steadily, now reaching sometimes up to 25,000 viewers a day. Tye, who at different times in his life dabbled in photography, singing and acting has an affinity for new talent and tries to shine a bit of a spotlight on models, photographers, singers, dancers and actors who generally do not get a lot of attention elsewhere on the web.

Corey Kirk:Corey Kirk is the perfect person to help with the search as he has experienced first hand working with Chris Teel. Corey's modeling career has rocketed over the past several months and has led to Corey working with some of the world's top photographers and has seen the results on international sites and blogs. DNA magazine recently featured him on their blog and has touted him as an up and comer with “the most impressive abs we've seen in a while”.

Brandon Ruckdashel: Brandon Ruckdashel is an actor, singer, model and photographer. Ruckdashel gained the attention of the New York critics for his work on stage in various productions including the critically acclaimed Ascension. Brandon followed this up with numerous stage and film roles. Brandon has been seen on television in productions such as The Lair, National Debt, Cougar School and Co-ed Confidential. When not on stage or in front of camera, Brandon also loves to write. Besides many songs, the past year has seen a focus on his first full play Exposure' which began readings this past summer


All those interested should submit their applications to fhmodelsearch2011@yahoo.ca

Judges:


Leading the judging panel is 22 year old model Corey Kirk! Corey (photographed above by Chris Teel, burst on to the modeling scene earlier this year. Corey is the perfect model to be the face of MODEL SEARCH 2011. Strikingly handsome yes but as well Corey knows how to form professional relationships with those he works with and as well those who enjoy his work. Corey also demonstrates the passion and determination required to be successful!

Corey The Bear by Chris Teel



Corey The Bear:
Corey Kirk by Chris Teel

Chris has shot Corey many times and in every shoot you can see the trust that comes through their friendship and close working relationship. Love this recent shoot by Chris. Corey, who always looks so incredible, strong and confident creates an entirely different feel with the use of the bears, sexy, light and fun.





Model Search: End Of The Road!


Today marks the end of voting for Model Search 2011 from Chris Teel and FH! As the contest began with Chris's shots of model Corey Kirk, Chris and I thought it a good idea to end on the same incredible note.

We have learned a lot through the process and given it was our first time putting on a contest thanks for putting up with the bumps along the road. I know for myself the voting went on a bit too long and was too choppy and if there is a model search 2012 there will be some changes.

Thanks to our wonderful panel of judges, all those who voted and especially all of the models, whether they made the final 10 or not who participated. Chris and I were thrilled with responses we got, especially given it was our first time.

Although the voting has been fierce a few models appeared to get the most attention from their families, friends and FH voters. In order to create a wee bit of mystery, we are ending the voting this afternoon with the results being kept a mystery until Chris and I reveal the winner. We have narrowed it down now to the top 5 finalists.

Quaternate: Chris Teel



When I think of favorite Canadian photographers of the male form, the first name that comes to mind is Chris Teel.  I have featured Chris' work more than any other Canadian artist, more than almost any other artist for that matter.  Starting back in 2009, Chris and I have collaborated on over 75 pieces, all of which are linked below.  We also worked together on 2011's Model search which saw Matt Eldracher taking the crown.  I originally did a Quaternate piece featuring Chris' work back in 2016, but it really needed an update!
