On the eve of New York Fashion Week (Mens), we held a rather large Request Only Casting Call at the Hyatt Hotel in Times Square and invited models from Ford, Wilhelmina, Soul Artist Mgmt, DNA, Fusion, Red and New York Models along for a Q&A and portrait session.
Photographer Nathan Best and his team spent two days meeting sixty guys, briefly getting to know them, sharing stories and of course, taking their picture! Below is a snapshot of the two days, featuring a bunch of polaroids and a single portrait of each guy, taken by Nathan. Over the coming week, we will be sharing several pictures per model along with their Q&A and update you an any show success.
