The Photographer:
Ethan James
From Ethan's official site:
'James is a Ph.D. student at Middle Tennessee State University. He completed his B.A. and M.A. in English (short fiction creative writing) at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. His master's thesis was entitled, "Short Fiction Creative Writing: Storytelling with a Film Perspective." His fields of study include children's literature and horror films, narratological studies in television and film, applications of gender and queer theory in popular culture, and creative writing poetry, short fiction, and screenplay. He is also a freelance writer and former editor of nationally-ranked magazine and newspaper publications.'
I love the work of Ethan James and have showcased his work several times on FH. Ethan's work has not only a unique look, but as well, a unique feel. Although James uses various techniques within his work, I believe his use of lighting, especially muted, is one of his signature styles. Ethan's use of lighting increases the emotion and depth expressed by his shots. You can search the blog for more on Ethan's work or click on his official site link in the list of my favorite photographers. I especially love spending time on Ethan's blog which you can find HERE:
The Model:
Eric Bell
Though new to modeling, Eric Bell already has an extensive portfolio. In researching Eric's work, I was most impressed with his work with Ethan James. Eric, who hails from Cookeville, Tennessee, has left his small hometown behind to live and work far from home in Singapore. Eric had his sights set on modeling since his early teens. With his beautiful face it was a natural fit. Also a dancer, Eric's long term goal is to become a choreographer with hip hop being his favorite form to perform. Eric is represented by Fusion Model Management and you can see more of his work at their site HERE: You can also check out his Facebook fan page which he just recently began HERE:
