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

Today the 22nd December, 2009, I found out my January 2010 DNA came out in Australia and New Zealand. The rest of the magazine will makes its way to major European states and finally to Canada and USA.

Borders, Barnes and Nobles, and mainstream newsstands will carry DNA Magazine.

This was special because not only I single handedly chose my muse to be the cover, but I influenced my editor to place Nathan as the first “color” COVER model of the magazine.

Change is good!

I learnt that my muse Nathan shot for the Dasani campaign with photographers Zoren Gold and Minori. I found this image on the web.

I found the above image from: http://www.mi-zo.com/2009/commerce/D_01.html

I dreamt that one day in the near future, I’ll get to shoot campaigns like this. Until then, one step at a time.

Check out Nathan on the July 2009 cover of France’s TETU Magazine. I did **not** shoot the cover.

My cover will be out in either August or September 2009. Canada/USA can purchase my cover in Barnes and Nobles and Borders and at major mainstream magazine stands.

I found the HQ YouTube version. Check out my muse Nathan in the clip!

On other notes, my cover and 10-pages of spread in Australia’s DNA Magazine is out today 25th February 2009. Issue #110 features model Adam C. Phebus @ Vision Model Management LA (Vision LA).
