Model/Actor: Carson Nicely

   Just after Christmas, I had the opportunity to do a studio shoot with model and actor, Carson Nicely. Almost exactly one year since our first shoot together, he is now calling Dallas his home. Carson is signed with agencies in several major cities, including MACS/AMAX in Nashville, Wilhelmina in Miami, Campbell Agency in Dallas, Chosen Models in Atlanta, and Gage Talent in Knoxville. Recently, he's been working on several corporate modeling/acting jobs, including J.C. Penney's, Neiman Marcus, and Dollar General. In August, he'll be packing his bags and moving to L.A. to continue acting.

6:12 Goes High Fashion: Male Models - Preview

I'm proud to unveil the first looks from high fashion photo shoot on January 13, in collaboration with Knoxville designers, Kelly Jones (Shadow Oak Maille) and Diane Corey (KC Leatherwerks). I approached Kelly and Diane in November 2013 about some ideas for some interesting, artistic and high fashion looks; they immediately expressed their interest and I knew from working with them in the past that whatever looks they designed would be absolutely amazing in front of the camera. Three months later, our collaboration came to life with twelve models (nine males and three females) styled in looks that ranged from steampunk to futuristic to the designers' specialities of leather and chainmaille. Our shoot also included hairstyling by Mackenzie Lane Knisley of Aveda Institute in Nashville, and make-up artistry and body art by Missy Young (Make-Up Artistry by Missy), Rubi Dae, and Ashley McClanahan (Makeup by Ash Mac). I also received some lighting assistance from my friend and co-worker, Lennie Robertson, as well as lighting advice and set-up from local photographer and studio owner, Dave Moore.

Here's a sneak peek from our shoot, and stay tuned for more photos from the shoot...
