Two weeks ago, I featured part one of my interview with one of my favorite models to profile, Brandon Connelly featuring images by Kate Gansneder. (No In-between) Today, in the second part of the interview, Brandon is captured by Seattle's Cadeography. Cadeography produces unique imagary and I loved spending time immersed in his portfolio. Stylized and modern, yet the same time beautifully classic and cinematic with a gothic, moody feel.
'Brandon and I were discussing ideas about a cool way to push the edge in a our next shoot. What better way than to strip down, sneak into an abandoned house, throw oil all over him and snap some shots? Brandon is a the real deal when it comes to professionalism, the look & motivation. I love doing things a little different from a lot of photographers, I continue to learn new ways of shooting and love throwing creative ideas together with the people I'll be working with.'

Interview -Part 2-
Was this a difficult decision on whether to shoot nude or semi-nude?
'I kinda= of just thought to myself that I am not doing porn and the photographer and I are creating artistic images and there is a beauty behind every image that is created or at least that’s the way I think about it.'
Have you ever been asked to shoot something you were not comfortable with?
'I have only had one shoot where I was uncomfortable with the poses and camera angles. I guess I just thought to myself hopefully these won’t come out as bad as I think they will, but unfortunately they did! The main focus was on my penis and I just felt uncomfortable using them in my port.'
You have said that one of the reasons you went into modeling was to face your uncomfortably with being in front of the camera, has this happened yet?
Honestly I don’t think its happened yet, I’m still not happy with my smile in photos and the way it comes out. I have to develop way to smile without it looking forced. If I don’t have to smile in front of the camera I’m more than comfortable with getting my picture taken.
Do you have a dream shoot in your mind, or a photographer you hope to work with?
'I dream of one day working with Photographer Jason Christopher. Jason’s pictures have been in many different magazines including Vogue, and Italian Vogue. Jason says "Be prepared, or prepare to fail." Which I think everyone should live by these words. The Pictures he creates are stunning, beautiful, and romantic.'
