JEFF MARANO

John, Cheyne and Omar Photographed in Los Angeles october 2012. John was the top campaign Model for the Milan based desinger "Corneliani" from the late 80´s until the early 2000´s. You will also find him in Helmut Newtons Iconic Book! It was our first meeting since Munich 1990 when   Udo Landow "now the World Class Choreographer"  had just thrown a huge New Years Eve party. It was great to now photograph his strong presence!! He still has IT!!! Cheyne was great and looks so like a young Leonardo Di Caprio. Omar has got a body you will see later! He has done 9 fitness videos since  our first shoot in L.A. last january. Being half Arabic and myself  half Ethiopian we vibed and just went from there. He drove over to the scene (mentioned in my photography facebook page) as soon as John and i were robbed on the miracle mile to see if we were alright! Great guy!!

DSQUARED2, DRIES VAN NOTEN, NEIL BARRETT, PAUL SMITH, DIRK BIKKEMBERGS, ISSEY MIYAKE, MARTIN MARGIELA, ANN DEMEULLEMEISTER and Y-3. Great guys, professional and very easy to work with!!

   Raphael, Simon and Christian (EastWest Models) were photographed in Cologne this past august still with film , daylight and an old school medium format camera. I think Simon can pass for a Brazilian German mix even though he´s nur deutsch! All new comers and did quite well for their first shoots!! Very nice and polite guys!!! Simon was the last of the three to shoot with on aug.20th (my 30th year anniversary) being based in Europe!

Don photographed here in Paris this past july. Even on a cloudy day the Tuilleries are one of my favorite shooting spots! The clouds are great and you really feel the history here! Back in the 80´s and 90´s here in Paris i would sit  during my lunch break in between my defile (show) castings and plan on which castings were more important to go to due to having too many all at the same time.I nerver listened when the top of the paper read" PAS NOIR"  NO BLACKS to some of them! The head booker at KARIN models said i was arrogant for going on castings which weren´t for me but that´s not what "LANVIN" and "PIERRE BALMAIN" said! Once changing agencies over to ELITE with pascal and Isabel in 89 this agency put a stop to all that madness and PARIS WOULD BE PARIS the way we all know it with it´s marvelous arrogance full of Ambiance! Now as a photographer i always start my Paris shoots here and then move on around the city. You ...

Jean pierre photographed in Köln late july. Half Italian half french and super cool. This really isn´t his style but i just had to play around with his hair and pose him old school! Thanks to the reflector on this one as the light was pretty dim in this part of the location.

Pascal Bier "Arno DeJongs other half" photographed here in Amsterdam just weeks ago. This striking lad Knows the camera well! Very Professional "DeBookers" model and sweet as can be just like Arno!

Renee and Nevena photographed here at the North Beaches in Sydney this past april and may. Renee was a blast to work with especially after bringing along her fierce hair and makeup artist Jayla!! They were cutting up the whole time and i actually had to concentrate after all of their funny remarks!! Nevena from New Zealand was also great to work with! She was curvy and sexy as well and just proved how hot their Aussie Neighbors are!!

Business men Kurt (2nd image) the chemist on Bondi and Yann who now works in the financial district in London were photographed here in Sydney april and may 2010. Kurt has the body of Doom which you will see soon. His "Butt" is so fierce that his mate Daniel from Chadwicks and myself once asked him to just jog down Bronte beach in his Aussie Bums so we could see all the people cruise him!! And they did!!! Sexy Yann from  France had his own share of attention! He was a smooth operator when he was on the beach as well. I will preview some body images of these men soon. Hope i´m not teasing anyone!

Janis The fireman photographed on a cliff at Bronte Beach this past april. Calum and Yaw were photographed at the North Beaches late april and early may. SUPER COOL GUYS!!

Florian photographed in Santorini august 1999. One of my favorite white wall shots with florian lathered in some baby oil up against the bus station wall by Perissi beach. The tourists weren´t sure if they thought it was for real!!  I loved the images Bruce Weber shot of Tom Hintnaus, Scott Connelly, Bruce Hulse and IMAN for the CALVIN KLEIN  summer 1983 global campaign. It was iconic especially with Hintnaus on top of the white church in the blue sky with his appendix stitches quite visible" to mention the least" all over Times Square on the huge billboard! It was a great week on the greek island and can only hope to go back. 10 years on in 2009 Steven Klein shot a great image of Jamie Dornan on a white wall in Palm Springs for Calvin Klein

I told him i was with Vivienes as well "way back" in april - june of 1985 on my first trip to "OZ" and within a week we were shooting these black and whites. It was great and gave me an opportunity to visit my then agent" Tenika" who is still there after all of these years and looked so great!! Also met with another nice lady named "Flo" who is ahead of the mens board and the rest of the wonderful team!
