TAYLOR ASHMORE by BELL SOTO / film

Here is a film / editorial I shot with the incredible Taylor Ashmore / FORD NY.
I met Taylor when he first arrived to NY and was a VMan contest finalist.  Besides the amazing exterior image there is an incredible personality and gentleman quality in Taylor , that is refreshing in the world of fashion models. It was a great pleasure to work with him again.

MAX SILBERMAN / WE HO film by BELL SOTO

It has been a while since I updated my blog.
I shot this very sexy video with my friend Maximilian Silberman. We have worked together several times. but this shoot was actually inspired and happened by accident. I was walking back to my hotel in West Hollywood from a shoot and Max was sitting outside of this apt at the time. We were happily surprised since i had not seen him for a year. I had my video gear we started to shoot in the backyard. and then decided to recreate the scene using him as the two characters in this fictional story.
I think the lack for crew and equipment and light and everything people need for filming was on our side to create a more intimate connection. cheers Max! x

DAVID AXELL / by BELL SOTO

I have worked with swedish model David Axell for a long time, we met almost 10 ys ago. He has always been an inspiration and great friend. We just met for a coffee few days ago to talk about new ideas and I shot these images. He inspired me to do some of my very early fashion films "eclipse" and "sunset" below.

ECLIPSE 

SUNSET

ADAM HUBER / SONATA film

Here is a video collage of moving images I shot with model Adam Huber. 

I always like to experiment with my personal work,  

Instead of doing the typical sexy guy in underwear - which we have seen plenty everywhere- , I clashed elements of Surrealism , George Platt Lynes- whom I adore! -, and Sistine Chapel ceiling for the finale. 

For music i used a sweet minuet from a Mozart sonata
