A few weeks ago I was asked to photograph a guy called Sean O’Pry. Not knowing who Sean was, I discovered that he is the world’s top male model. Scouted in 2006 from his prom photos on My Space by Nolé Marin and represented by VNY he has been the face of Calvin Klein, Georgio Armani, Versace, H&M, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana and Zara amongst others. On the day of the shoot the fashion editor appeared with racks of clothing and maybe 40 pairs of shoes . Sean arrived shortly after and had breakfast of Red Bull and an egg sandwich from the local deli – he was tired, told me he’s been working for 4 months straight.  Sean is from Kennesaw Georgia – he has a kind of James Dean look, likes American muscle cars, boxing, drawing, he’s giving up smoking any minute –  he is really cool, easy going and great model with lots of the right attitude. We took photos under the Williamsburg Bridge and around the ‘hood – I wanted to give the shoot a ‘rock n roll style’ look, not too ‘fashion’ to reflect the clothes and Sean’s character.
