Model Lee Taylor: "The best things to me in life are not things, but experiences and the challenges I overcome"

by Edward with Lee

An unforgettable moment: "Shooting wearing only underwear in the snow"

 

OY OY SAVILOYS, my name is Lee Taylor I´m a country lad from Cirencester England. I was very blessed to be brought up in the countryside as there was always something to do and got into a high level of sports at an early age. My main sports were Football (soccer), Boxing not the best of sports in conjunction to my work, but great fitness and discipline and then tennis on a recreational level. I love going to the movies, good food, and chilling out with friends. I´m not much of a dancing type of person, I´m more of a bar person rather than a club/ raver. Enjoy all genres of music just depends on my mood and where I am at the time!

I never wanted to be a model I guess it was just at the right place, right time. I was at the Birmingham NEC with friends and there was a big fashion event on at the time. I was queuing for a sandwich in a Subway shop and a Storm model booker approached me, took Polaroids and my contact details. it was rock n roll after that. I was quite lucky as my first shoot wasn’t a test, it was a campaign called Jack Wills (English Brand). The shoot was on location in Sweden. I didn’t really have a clue what I was doing but I think if you’re thrown in at the deep end you’re forced to learn fast!!! I think the best thing I’ve took from modeling is the people: models, photographers, stylists etc. Every person I’ve met has a story of their own to tell, whether that’s how they broke into the industry or the experiences they’ve had, which brings wisdom. The best things to me in life are not things, but experiences and the challenges I overcome.

 

 

 

"Adaptation is the key to a good picture and shoot"

The thing I like most with photographers is working with different ones every time. Every photographer has their own preference of doing things, this can be how they take a picture, the lighting on a shoot, whether it’s the style of the location to shoot or a basic studio etc. With this as a model you gain a wider range of understanding of how to adapt to a photographers preference and how to build a positive relationship between you and the photographer, you can create a better picture through this, adaptation is the key to a good picture and shoot.

Lee, the fashionista?

Throw me a pair of Levi jeans and a plain white T and i'm happy! I don’t really think about what I wear if i’m honest, but have always been told that you should never wear more than three colors with an outfit!!! Schoolboy error!!! It is essential as a model to have a basic understanding of fashion because if you are to rock up to casting wearing pink lycras and a bobble hat (probably be fashionable in a few months) this may hinder your chance of booking the job. Its key to have an understanding of the style of brand you are casting for, if you show initiative to the client and give them more of a visual understanding of how you could look working for them, then it could determine whether you are successful in the casting or not.

Fans: I don’t think I have fans??? I don’t see myself as a movie star or anything like that, but I am very grateful for the support I get from people of Facebook and Myspace. A big Thank you to you all for the support
Human Rights, Free of Speech, Wars and Sexual Behavior: These are all sensitive subjects! I feel we should all be blessed with free will and freedom of speech we should have the opportunity to develop as individuals and put forward our views and have the opportunity to grow in the career or pathway we choose. It is imperative for us all to have freedom of speech we all share this world and through speech we give a wider understanding of issues from all areas of the world. If we all had these privileges we take for granted it is possible that this could stop or reduce wars taking place, making the world more adequate. This doesn’t mean free will is to be abused and used in an act of negative action whether in physical, verbal or sexual. If this does become the situation like it is in many cases then I believe action must be taken through the correct Laws and Legislations
Having fun, places he goes enjoying the best of life: I like socializing with close friends, whether that’s going out for drinks or dinner, it´s nice to see what’s been going on in my friends lives and the updates of everything I've missed while I’ve been away
The craziest (nastiest?) thing he´s ever done in a summer time season: I’m a good boy! Ha!
Fav underwear for his daily acitivities and for those coooool sexy moments (LOL!): It has to be CK’s, not sure if its a psychological thing but I always feel better knowing i’m rocking the CK’s underneath
Fav body part and why: I like my lips, good for pouting with! Ha!
An unforgetable moment: Shooting wearing only underwear in the snow
Main motto: "Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important"
