Continuing my “more than just a face” series of go-sees (literally just thought of that title whilst writing this, will see if it sticks…), here’s Jesse from @selectmodellondon. Jesse is a Hackney born and bred film enthusiast, who studied film on a practical level at college and and about to embark on a film degree in Manchester, where he wants to continue to explore his interests in cinematography. Best of luck in Manny, Jesse!

#testshoot#gosees#selectmodels#malemodel#newface#newfaces#selectmodellondon
Go-sees and test shoots (whatever you wanna call them) are something I’ve always enjoyed doing. It allows me to remember what aspects of photography I love the most, which perhaps putting it a little too simply, is capturing a moment with a person. Often on set, by the time the model/talent is done in hair and make up, it’s action stations to make sure we get the shot. I’m sometimes a little envious of the bonds that are inevitably created in the make up chair and the opportunity that hour has of getting to know one another prior to shooting.
By stripping things back to just me, my camera and a subject, it allows me to do just that; get to know them. Find out what they’re about, what their interests are and subsequently make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. I can often look back on these images and remember the conversations we had.
This is Jake ( @ovader_storm ) from @selectmodellondon, a south west London lad with a passion for music and sound production. Jake spends a lot of his time in his Dad’s music studio, learning skills from his predecessor and applying them in moments that he has the studio to himself. Thanks for hanging out for a couple of hours Jake!
