With close to 30 spotlighted stories, I'm pretty confidant that model Bond Brown is the most featured model on the site. You might wonder then, why I didn't wait, and save Bond for the last part of A Baker's Dozen. I purposely chose not to give the list any order, I wanted it more of celebration of artists and models more than a count down. In addition, when I think of Bond, I think of Autumn.
It was on Halloween back in 2014 that Bond made his FH debut. I remember when Wes from New Manhattan Studio's first shared his images of Bond. Wes was excited about discovering the new model, and I was equally excited about the orange and black themed series of images Wes sent on, and being able to share them on the site. I also remember some of Wes's first comments about their first few shoots together.
'Bond is a real sweetheart and a delight to work. It did taken a while to ease him into all of this and was a bit timid about doing full-on nudes when we met in January. But he go past that with some very classic/formal looking work with a white scarf on this third session with us (above) in May. Once we had proved to him that we were doing art, not porn, he finally opened up and relaxed on the Lancaster shoot. I think we finally tapped the exhibitionism gene: he was posing nude bathing in a tub (also known as a horse trough) on the outdoors set in July. We strung up a tarp to shield him from the nearby highway, but he was totally at ease with six other males standing around.'
Most of the thirty features I've done on Bond have been from Wes, but it wasn't long before other photographers also wanted in on the Bonding. During one shooting trip to New York, Bond took a quick detour to work with Gordon Nebeker. Once Bond moved to California, Wes and Alex took a trip West and shot Bond along with Mike Tossy and StudioMGphotography.

'I still don’t think Bond has any awareness of the power of his looks. There still isn’t a pretentious bone in his body. He’s still the cute kid next door... who can smoulder and swagger with the best of them!'
Wes
'When I think of Bond, I can’t help but think ‘enthusiasm’, 'high energy’, and ‘personable’. He’d is the human Energizer Bunny, always ready to go!'
Gordon Nebeker
'Bond's a remarkable young man, each time we met to create, including that first shoot, it was somehow like greeting a long lost friend. He has an ability to charm anyone and everyone.'

Adorable, sweet, charming, what more could you ask for in a model. Bond's looks however, go far beyond just being cute. He may have a bit of Tom Hanks type quality, but it's infused with lethal dose sexual energy. It was almost impossible to narrow down my favorite images of Bond. One of the reasons, is because Wes so often sends on behind the scenes shots of Bond during their dozens of shoots together.
