Hi Adriana, Pretty sure it's David Gandy. He's from Essex in London, not too far from where I live. Here's a link to his facebook page.

LOLS!

Can anyone tell me the name of the male model with white sweater and white coat? Saw him interviewed on tv last week. Very handsome and manly since I don’t like to look at these androgyny too skinny young boys. That’s a man! :)

Mario?!!?? it’s you really, isn’t it? Fancy calling yourself ‘Beth’! Nice try, old bean. Listen Mario, try to get over my initial comment. You know I’m a far superior photographer to you so try not to be sore.

With practice, perhaps you too can be as good as me. I mean, some of your work so far is OK.

In the meantime, let’s let bygones be bygones and I hope we can kiss and make up. xxxxxxxh

I just think that despite u slating Testino ur work really has nothing new to say, or hasn’t been executed technically A* either. That’s all I am saying. Hugh I am sorry that your portfolio was regected by Glamor magazine, meantime spend less time slating someone who achieved their goal and focus on your own practice. Starting with ur technical skills, coz u know what? U talk about Testino not being techical, but ur work sucks. Not a bitchy comment. Just opinion, same as you.

Lots of people have created work like David Lachappelle too. They were creating work like his before him and they will do so after. No-one exists in a bubble.

Beth: You are leaving bitchy comments. Doesn’t exactly leave you on the high moral ground now. I’m not British either before you slate a whole nation. And a high key white back drop is hardly Testino’s signature is it? Every Photographer uses it from time to time. Thanks for checking out my work though. Every visit, including yours helps to bring traffic to my site. Why don’t you check out my blog while you’re at it.

If you read my blog you will see that I was referencing Giger in the images – he was a direct inspiration and the fact that you were aware of it means I’m doing something right.

The work you mentioned has been published in magazines and was in an exhibition too. So you may not like it but a lot of other people do.

To Hugh: rather bitchy comments there, a hint of jealousy I wonder? Typical british attitude to slate sucessful people. I looked at your photos Hugh, and they are not too original either. Very here and now, if not copying Testino with high key white back drops. Very dodgy photoshop as you copy HR Giger. Testino’s success is that he is good with people and it shows, the images are intimate and great pictures come from trust. However, there is only one, and that is David LaChapelle. No one can do what he is doing, he is in a league of his own! which is inspiring, unlike your work.
