We typically let the model choose the studio's background music while shooting. In Stephen's case, we were listening to the actor/singer/model's own voice on Spotify and a song he had recently recorded in tribute to his mother. Find our work with Stephen here: www.newmanhattanstudios.com/stephen
Rus encounters the big, round hole in the wall… and immediately treats it like a dramatic stage entrance, strutting in with confidence, sass, and a wink that says he knows exactly what he’s doing. Find our work with the Floridian here: www.newmanhattanstudios.com/14011398-rustin
Devon’s gallery is now live on our site. This toned, disciplined Californian has been in front of photographers for half his life, refining an on‑camera presence that’s confident, athletic, and unmistakably his. Check out our work with Devon here: www.newmanhattanstudios.com/devon

Conor is one of several models we've captured on Fire Island. Over time, returning to the same beaches, we've been amazed at the variety of the surf's colors and moods, depending on the light of the moment. Find more of the studio's work on Fire Island here: www.newmanhattanstudios.com/fire-island

Having young Logan in front of the cameras was like having Pan in the studio—the Greek god of music, nature and the wild edges of the world. Slightly untamed and uninhibited, 21-year-old Logan brought a sharp, mischievous energy to our sessions with him. More: www.newmanhattanstudios.com/loganl
Ricardo is one of the studio’s longest‑running models. We’ve charted the development of his physique from his early 20s into his early 30s, year after year. From a shy 21‑year‑old to one of the most powerful torsos in the portfolio. Follow the full arc here: www.newmanhattanstudios.com/1-ricardo

We were the first US photographers to shoot DZmitry, a 21‑year‑old from Belarus, so new to New York he needed a translator. When he pulled off his shirt, a cameraman gasped loud enough for his agent to ask if something was wrong. "Nope. Nothing at all.” More: www.newmanhattanstudios.com/dzmitry
