Model Tutorials

Social Media is a wonderful thing, especially in today’s modelling industry. There is so much information out there, it can sometimes be a little overwhelming to take it all in or even find the advice you are looking for.

I have decided to make this website more ‘model-centric’ and incorporate some useful information and advice to help other models out there who need that ‘little push’ in the right direction. Hopefully it will be of some use to you.

Look out for tutorials popping up in the near future on topics such as:

Fifth Photo Shoot With Leigh Carter

Leigh and I decided to visit the fantastic location we used for our last location shoot again because we are fairly sure the demolition process will soon begin and we may not get another chance. I cannot even begin to describe how big this place is. You could spend an entire day walking around and still not have covered everything.

It will be a real shame to see this place disappear but its great i got the opportunity to mix a bit of modelling with some urban exploring at the same time :)  We decided to focus on more editorial work, some underwear shots since our last shoot lacked this and also try and do some work outdoors in the fields that have been left abandoned.

I’m extremely happy with the results!

Gaydar Promo Work

I have had not one, but two fantastic opportunities to represent Gaydar as one of their Promo boys at this year’s Manchester Pride and Soho Live. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was the first time i have had the chance to work with my twin brother :)  Manchester Pride was a great day which i spent handing out lots of Gaydar merchandise such as dog tags, key chains, and fridge magnets.

Soho Live however was a mix of everything. I stencilled 12 muscle boys chests (which wasn’t easy since they were so big!) with help from a friend who made the stencils all night, played Gaydar photographer for the day taking photos of the promo boys with members of the public and handed out the merchandise as before  - with the addition of condoms and free membership to porn websites! *grins*

Fourth Photo Shoot With Leigh Carter

This had to be one of the most memorable shoots and best locations yet! Leigh and I visited an abandoned mental asylum on the outskirts of London which we were going to use as the location for this shoot. The place was AMAZING!

We spent the entire day crawling through broken windows and being careful not to fall down 12 foot drops (which i almost did if it wasnt for Leigh!) We decided to focus more on fashion since i wanted to incorporate some more clothed work within my portfolio *smirks* We definately plan on visiting the location again before its demolished.

As always, let me know what you think :)


Finally on Twitter! – @followingamodel

I thought it was about time i start doing a bit more marketing with regard to my modelling so i have finally joined the world of twitter :)  I have added a twitter section to this blog so you can follow what im up to.

i best get ‘tweeting’!

Gaydar Nation Model Features

Following a conversation with one of the Gaydar Radio presenters and the Editor, it turns out they want to do a few features using some images from my portfolio! Im obviously a very happy boy about this, shows i have been doing something right :)

A BIG thanks to Gaydar, Hotsnapz and of course, Leigh Carter xx

QX Front Cover!

After this weekends Brighton Pride Celebrations, understandably im feeling a little delicate. What did put a smile on my face though was finding out this morning that im on the front cover of QX Magazine! A BIG BIG thank you to Chris Jepson!

Second Photo Shoot With Leigh Carter

I had an eventful day with Leigh Carter on Saturday. He has found a pretty amazing location to do a shoot at an abandoned hospital which gave us the opportunity to try some really different things – thankfully two passers by missed seeing me naked by only about 5 minutes or so – they would have got a shock if they were a little earlier ;) .

We also got to head back to his studio after to mess around with bubblegum :)

Photo Shoot with Leigh Carter

Check out some of the fantastic work that resulted from a shoot with Leigh Carter a couple of weeks ago! A really professional photographer who comes up with some pretty amazing concepts and plans his shoots to every detail, which i thoroughly enjoyed. I’m heading back for a 2nd shoot in a few weeks time so watch this space!

Photo Shoot with Hotsnapz

I had really good fun working with Simon from Hotsnapz. I dont think i have seen a photographer with so many props….ever! You would have to probably spend 3 weeks solid with him to even scratch the surface of the creative concepts he could create – Definately looking forward to working with him again.
