One week ago, I was approached by a new agency in Los Angeles called “Models International”. I have experience with working with other agencies, e.g. Wilhelmina LA, LA Models, etc. but not Models International. I checked them out. It was Ms. Tia Talbott that initiated the contact and I was pleased!

Tia sent me male models she represent and in it was Peyman Madavian! I have been wanting to photograph a Persian male model just because of my personal and amicable admiration towards their culture, food, music, and their beautiful assortment of Persian men! I wrote to Tia and told her that I’d be willing to test with Peyman gratis.

Peyman arrived early on the 24th. I came back from the gym, showered, and came out and there was a call. Peyman was outside! I had to rush and get ready. I went outside and greeted Peyman and invited him in. I served Chai while we get to know one another.

Peyman brought me a sample of Persian tea. He told me it wasn’t available for purchase here and had to be specially imported or perhaps purchase through specialty tea boutiques that does direct import of tea from Iran. The black tea sample had a hint of Bergamot and Jasmine. It was delightful!
