Now I normally do my grocery shopping at the store down the street from my house, but today I was across town and needed just a few things and knew that if I didn’t get them now I would forget on my way home. So as I was driving I saw a Shop-N-Save and pulled in. I needed to get some shaving cream, razors, and batteries. I needed to do some “manscaping” tonight as I had a date tomorrow and don’t ask what the batteries were for. I grabbed the items and then headed to the checkout line. That’s where I saw him.
This cute and adorable guy, about 5’7”, brown curly hair, and eyes to die for. His nametag said “Hi my name is Craig”. Damn nice to look at you Craig, I thought to myself.
“Paper or plastic?” Craig asked me. I looked at him and said, “Plastic thanks.” I grabbed my items from his hand and started to walk out the door. I stopped and turned around, looked at Craig one more time, then I started to walk back over to him, I pulled out my business cards and gave him one. “I’m a model search guy and do photography. Give me a call if you want to do some work. I think you could totally make it in the field.” It took a lot of courage to say that to him, because it wasn’t “totally” the truth, but wasn’t a lie either.
I waited a few days, and then finally Craig called me. “Hello? This is Craig, the guy that you met from Shop-N-Save. I have been thinking about getting into the modeling industry, do you really think I have the looks?”
“Hey Craig, yea, from what I saw at the grocery store you looked very good. Now I realize that you were in your uniform, but I’m sure you look good out of it too.” I told him.
I arranged for Craig to come over to my house the following evening when he got off work. I told him to bring some “preppy” clothes and we would do some sample photo shoots, a very informal thing.
Craig arrived at my place on-time and ready to go, unlike a lot of my other models. I sat him down and explained the business side of things, had him sign all the releases and what not, then I told him: “Well I just got a request from one of my magazine editors that he needs a set of pictures for a magazine right away, and the problem is I don’t have the kind he wants yet.” “What’s the magazine” Craig asked. “Boys in Bondage” I told him. Craig’s eyes opened up a little wider. By the look on his face I could tell that he didn’t know quite what to think. “Would you be willing to let me for-go the typical “practice shoot” and just take pics of you tied up in some bondage?” Craig thought about this for a little bit and decided that it would be ok. Besides, he was getting paid and he was starting out in the modeling world…or so he thought. Below are the results of mine and Craig’s “photo shoot”
