CONGRATULATIONS TO JOHN SHIELD FOR THE COVER AND FURTHER SHOTS FOR THE SUMMER 2009 NUTRITION CATALOGUE ..ISSUED WITH UK EDITIONS OF MENS HEALTH AND HEALTH AND FITNESS SOON
After SAM meet SHANE Standing 6'2" tall and weighing in at 91 kilos (thats 200 lbs!!) SHANE is a force to be reckoned with.But behind the big exterior is a guy with a great personality and sense of humour. He has already got quite a few shoots under his belt including some with the UK's leading fitness photographers and he's bound to be in great demand with a build like his. Passionate about his gym regime, SHANE's ambition is to be well known in fitness and sports modelling. I wouldn't argue with him about that for one second!
Maybe a fitness shoot with SAM is called for..anyone else think that may be a good idea?? Let me know
The new issue of APOLLO MALE MODEL MAGAZINE features a collaboration between HOTSNAPZ and an amazing artist called VALERHON. We have worked together on several occassions before but when he asked if I could find at least SIX models for a new project I was suprised to say the least. ..."They all need to be like Greek Gods, and in specific poses..I'll send you a list. Oh and one needs to be blonde...." A blonde Greek god.....??? Hmmm.... JJ!!!!!! I can't believe I havent featured JJ here before but he fitted the bill exactly. Over 6'1" he'd just bleached his hair for his tour of "HERE COME THE BOYS" and boy is he built like a Greek God. I'd known JJ since he came to live in the UK and we'd just had a feature published in DNA MAGAZINE (Issue 113) but he was in the middle of a busy rehearsal schedule for his show which meant he was still in LA. Luckily we managed a couple of hours on his return and shot what I needed. A small taster is included here but the full feature can be seen in APOLLO MALE MODEL MAGAZINE. VALERHON'S amazing work can be seen athttp://valerhon.blogspot.com/ or http://www.valerhon.com/ Other Greek Gods included Ollie K (who else) Jamie B and Jon Shield
Ollie has it all. At 6'1" his Mediteranean looks and charm make him stand out in any crowd, and at 21 he's already on the road to a successful career in modeling, where he is equally at home doing fashion shoots, catwalk or editorial work. What we rarely see is the physique..and what a physique! Perfectly natural from his sporting interests he has the build that most of us would envy. And with his hairy chest he's bound to be popular with HOTSNAPZ followers. In a slightly extended post we see OLLIE in fashion mode and what better after a long shoot than to remove that suit and relax.
