Worker.

I've had this idea for a while, representing a worker, the american male, rugged and tough... I can pretend, right? Pitched this to David Newkirk, so we got together one sunday (a couple of months ago) and shot for about an hour. David wasn't feeling it. I can always tell when he's into something, and when he isn't. Oh well, sometimes it's a slam dunk, and others it's a layup. This was a layup, but there were a few decent shots, at least in my opinion.

It's Coming...

60s GQ / Film Deluxe. A David Newkirk & Phillip Istomin production.

So David was asked to shoot another cover of IN this week magazine, this time the feature was the Sundance Film Festival. He asked me to be the model, our 3d cover shoot together. We met and discussed the concept briefly, got all our shit together, I called up my friend Holly and dare I say... magic happened. Me and David have developed quite the working relationship and I'm proud to consider him a good friend. We always have so much fun shooting together and try to make every shoot into our own fashion spread, since that is what we both love best. I want to thank Holly for being a part of it and bringing 2 suit cases of incredible wardrobe, and most importantly David for being such a good friend, and an amazing photographer. Hope you enjoy the photos: (processed by David & myself)
