Favorite Model of the Day: Cameron Bailey

I have posted about Click model Cameron Joel Bailey a couple of times before. Cameron is one of my favorite models for several reasons. Firstly his story. Like many in the business, it was not Cameron's initial goal to be a model. Cameron's loves include anything with a board or a ball (Snowboarding, Surfing, Skimboarding, Skateboarding, Basketball and Handball) His interests are that of most typical 20 year old guys, partying and women. So this average guy gets discovered and leaves Huntsville Texas for the Big Apple. Cameron did a bit of modeling and acting when in Texas including appearing on the Fox show 'Prison Break'. It was once he hit New York however that his career really took off.



I also love Cameron because of his look. Great hair, great body. But...the world of modeling, and the Internet for that matter is filled with great bodies. It is the face however that is the key. Cameron obviously knows this and uses his look, his face and especially his eyes as the centerpiece in his work. He draws you in with a look that your sure is just for you. I am not sure how to explain it, but there is an intelligence in Cameron's work that to me is his signature. Cameron appears to be a easy going, fun loving guy in life, but when in front of the lens, when at work, he transforms to create emotion filled amazing images.

Cameron Bailey by Sean P. Watters

One of Cameron's most recent shoots was with the brilliant Sean P. Watters. Sean is working on a portrait series. Sean says of the series; 'The process is very simple: one light, a few questions asked and some spontaneous shooting that is never less than 20 or more than 40 minutes.' Amazing!

Cameron Bailey by Rick Day

It is risky to say one of Rick Day's shots is a favorite as his body of work is so huge I am always seeing new shots I love. I will say that his work with Cameron is certainly at the top of my list. The last picture at the bottom of this post is certainly one of my all time favorite Rick Day shots. I love it's composition, lighting and everything about Cameron in it from his hair, eyes, facial expression and body.

There are many shots of Cameron by Rick, but these are my favorites. I think Cameron is also a favorite of Ricks and was featured in his book Players.
