los angeles men's fashion and beauty photographer ronald n. tan

When I first moved to LA two years ago, Sergio Garcia initiated contact and invited me over to LA Models to test a few male models under his roster. I picked Brandon Stoughton. Here is one of my favorite images of him from my test. These are from Sept. 2007.

In the latter half of 2008, Brandon was cast as a lead male model in Britney Spear’s “Womanizer” video. I do wonder what’s happening in Brandon’s life since we lost touch. I hope all is well with him.

It seems that when I find familiar faces that I lost track (models), they kept old photographs of mine that I took. I found Alex Tarasov on Facebook and he had with him are my photos from 2007. I took photographs of him when I first started.

I met Alex on MySpace and when I found out he worked at a nearby A&F, I decided to meet him in person. We set up a time and I visited the A&F store in the Arden Fair Mall. Here are some of the photographs.

I lost the hires images.

When I look at these photographs, they remind me how much I have progressed and accomplished within these past two years!
