This is one of those shoots that turned out quite differently to the original thought in my head. I can’t quite articulate how, but it is true.
It turned out better. Jesse is a lovely man with a striking look, beautiful skin and an understanding of how to present himself. The images turned out a bit more minimalist than the original concept but somehow more moody and a little forlorn because of it.
As you'll see, despite being new to doing shoots at the time, Jesse embraced the exhibitionist within and did some erotic shots at the end. Since this shoot he's moved to London and is doing a lot of stunning shoots.
Fingers crossed we haven't lost him forever to the other side of the world and I get to work with him again.
