The best part was certainly the exposure and that it pushed me into the world of modeling. Without it I'm not sure where I would be.'

The top image of model, actor and dancer Matt Eldracher, many FH readers have seen before. It's the first image of Matt that I remember seeing, and one of the images the Toronto based entertainer submitted when he entered FH's 2011 Model Search. The contest, co-sponsored by photographer Chris Teel, elicited hundreds of applicants with Matt quickly and easily becoming a finalist and favorite.
Although new to modeling, especially modeling sans clothing, Matt was a natural. One of his first shoots with Chris included the popular series I dubbed Canadian Carnage. Based on the character of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, Chris created the series in part due to Matt's love of horror movies. Matt's acting and performance background made it easier for him to slip into character and the shoot remains one of my all time favorites.

After winning the 2011 model search, Matt continued to perform on stage and modeled with many well known photographers including several more shoots with Chris Teel. I was going to add some recent shots Matt sent on, but since this piece is about looking back, I'll save those for FH viewers to look forward to checking out in January!
'The first shoot was exhilarating! Working with Chris Teel always feels natural but that first time we just got started and the was no anxious feeling only adrenaline and excitement picture after picture idea after idea. It is how I base what all shoots, both past and future, should be like.'
