Sneak peek! New model Jason by Eliesa Johnson

Eliesa Johnson says: 

"Woo Hoo!!!  We just wrapped up THE most inspiring test shoot...This particular model had the most amazing freckles, and I dreamed up this winter fashion spread all around his look!"  

Hip hip hooray for natural light, film, and simplicity:

"The best part about this shoot for me, and probably the reason it was so inspiring was just how simple it was! We didn’t need to worry about downloading cards or even looking at the camera! It was just me, a window full of natural light, one model and an amazing camera! That, my friends, is what it is all about!"
