Thursday Oct 30th, 2025

I received an email confirming I was to test a male face for his book/comp/page on Wilhelmina’s NYC website. After several discussions about what was needed with his booking agent Blake, on Thursday Nov 6 I received a text from Ken T. We scheduled to shoot on Church St. in Orlando.

Monday Nov 10, 2025 was an unusually cold day in downtown Orlando. I parked on Church St to meet Ken.

In this series of images, I directed Ken to simply stand between the double doors at the 1 Up Orlando. All images were sent for Blake to select what will ultimately be used.
