'As a matter of studio policy, there are always two persons present at each model's shoot. In addition to the lead photographer, a stylist/production assistant is on hand, often also shooting part-time with a second camera.'
Lucky for us that Wyn and Alex were along to assist Wes and Andrew during their time in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. It's always nice when models and photographers connect, so it was fitting Alex chose a tight white speedo to compliment, and coordinate with, Andrew's tight white pants. The pants eventually came off, but the speedo, sadly, although beautifully, stayed on.
Although he played a larger role on the second shoot, Alex also worked hard during the first shoot in Santa Cruz. He definitely earned his salary getting wet by tracking the reflector to soften the shadows. Wes shares that maybe more importantly, Alex's teasing banter appeared to inspire the Andrew to greater things...
Wes put together a video showcasing over 5 dozen shots from the studio's two shoots with Andrew which can viewed on the New Manhattan Studios website HERE:
'Together, the two sessions track this striking California model at the end of his teenage years. Andrew has since told me that he has retired from modeling and that the session in San Francisco was his last professional photo shoot. Given that, we are happy to put to good use the first of our pandemically-induced free time to finally finish processing and publishing the photos of his last session.'
