A Baker's Dozen: Samuel Boux


'Sam reminds me of an old soul living in a young man's body - he's very introspective and wise beyond his years. He's very secure with who he is and focused on realizing his dreams. '


I was first introduced to model and musician Samuel Boux by photographer Chris Teel in 2010.  Over the next three years,  I featured the Montreal based model ten times, showcasing his work with several different photographers.  There was something special about Samuel, something almost ethereal in his look, his poses, and his beautiful face.  There was also a bohemian vibe to Samuel's imagery, an expression of his free spirit from his nude body, his movements and and his expressive hazel eyes. 


One of my favorite pieces was one Samuel himself suggested.  In 2010's Métamorphose,  Samuel shared his struggles in school as a loner and outcast, and the steps he took to make changes in his life.  Samuel l also shared an older, almost unrecognizable image which highlighted both his physical, and spiritual transformation.
