It must be both thrilling and sad to be the first. First in this case means being the first person behind the lens to capture the beauty and the essence of an up and coming model. David Thomas is currently in New York making his way in the modeling business. Back in Grand Rapids, MI, photographer Cassidy Knight (above), is completing school at Grand Valley State University.
Cassidy, who is responsible for all the shots of David featured here is not only a photographer but a Filmmaker, Writer, and and without a doubt an Artist. Cassidy and David worked together in Michigan to create the amazing shots you see here. Much of David's portfolio is Cassidy's work, work that helped launch his career.
I strongly encourage you all to check out Cassidy's site at deviantART. I felt an connection with Cassidy, not just because I loved his photos, but even more so I enjoyed his writings. deviantART has a journal attached, and Cassidy has a way of drawing you in with his writing the way a great storyteller can. Just like a great novel, I continued to read his journal to the end not wanting it to end. Such insight from someone so young. It is interesting to me, but not surprising, that like my profile of Brian Motley last week, a post which started out about a model ended up being about the man behind the lens. Be sure to check out Cassidy's work at deviantART found HERE:
