'Austin is Hollywood handsome and also such a really nice man.'
If you know anything about sells, you know how much time and thought is put into the visuals. The items in catalogs, in store windows, and the front of the store are often the ones most visually striking and eye-catching. Retailers want to grab your attention, and encourage you stay, look and want to see more.
This is especially true when it comes to car sales. Most cars on display in showrooms are meticulously taken care of, shined daily and always looking their best. It makes sense then, that dealerships also love finding salespeople who are captivating as the products their selling. Of course that's not always the case, being knowledgeable and trustworthy also helps. Studies however have also found, that attractive salespeople are often the most successful.
It's not a surprise then, that photographer Alan Rust spotted something visually stunning when he entered a showroom in a car dealership in Omaha Nebraska. Well, maybe not a something, but a someone, the good looking salesman who was helping him out. I introduced FH readers to Alan's work last month, (HERE:) and as an artist with an eye for beauty, he of course had to ask Austin if he'd be interested in modeling and doing a photo shoot.
Having never modeled before, Austin didn't answer right away, but promised to think about it and consider Alan's offer. They continued to keep in contact, and Alan continued to ask. Austin eventually made the move out West, and it was then, that he decided he was up for a shoot.
'Austin is Hollywood handsome and also such a really nice man. I was able to see right away that he was a natural at modeling.'
Given's Alan's focus on fashion and style, you can see how perfectly he paired fashion with form. I especially love how Austin looks in the blue striped shorts Alan chose, beautifully spotlighting Austin's amazing physique. Given how devoted Austin was to health and fitness, Alan also incorporated fitness focused images during the shoot. Austin did so well modeling for Alan, he set up a second shoot the following day with a great photographer in Lincoln. Alan joined in for that project as well and shares Austin did equally well in both shoots.
Alan has kept in contact with Austin, but unfortunately hasn't set up another shot. Austin's focus on fitness shifted more towards bodybuilding, putting modeling on the back burner. Austin shares that he enjoyed his brief time as a fashion and fitness model though, and loves having the images they created, As a bodybuilder, he also loves having the visual testament of that point in his fitness journey.
