ALEX CHRISTENSEN:MAJOR: PH: GREGORY VAUGHAN

Its Friday which means capping the week off with a fresh new face. Major's Alex has just been launched and here are his first snaps by Mr Vaughan.

Tyler Kenyon by Gregory Vaughan

I got these snaps of Major's Tyler from Mr Vaughan this morning with the following note " I shot Tyler K last friday........he's been Jason's sleeper model. He's stayed committed to school till now. Talk about the x factor.......he's so incredibly natural in front of the camera." True, true Mr Vaughan!

Daniela de Jesus from Major has one of "those" faces

Recently I've been thinking about the line between commercial and edge. Who fixed that line? What is that line based on? Is obvious beauty always boring? And is an unconventional face automatically photogenic?

TRAVIS Hanson in Sex Machine by Joe Lally

Well its the weekend and what's a TI weekend without a treat from Mr Lally? Here's his sizzling snaps of Major's Travis!

Mr Kanner sped these Gregory Vaughan shots of Major-star-in training Sean Biloski over to TI this morning and we were not one to deny you the matinee idol charms of Mr B. Viva Le Vaughan!

Oraine by Gregory Vaughn

TI has certain set of fixtures and photographer Gregory Vaughn is becoming one of them. We love these pictures he snapped of Jamaica's finest Oraine .The clean clarity and the consistency of Greg's work is really well developed for someone who only recently took up the camera. These are outtakes from an upcoming John Bartlett spot but we can totally see them becoming posters. I remain a Bartlett fan because through the years he's managed to remain so grounded and unaffected. I love too that this Major Model Mgmt. MVP is rocking it out both editorially (everything from Arena Homme + to ID and Vogue Italia w Meisel) and commercially (his Lord's and Taylor's is everywhere!) . His ease and athletic grace on camera is not a common thing. Which means he'll definitely be a fixture on these pages in the future.

Lovely Joe Lally strikes again, lensing yet another ode to the beauty of the human body exclusively for The Imagist. This series features the always striking Tyler from Major Models . Once again hat's off to Joe for a lovely dose of color and sizzle on these pages. Rock on!

Oraine Barrett./Major Model Mgmt

Everytime someone says "the next Tyson Beckford" I'm apt to roll my eyes. Beckford was a very unique moment where a visionary agent, a smart client and a multi-cultural zeitgest brewed a perfect booking storm.But looking at the slow build of Oraine Barrett's bookings over the past three years, TI senses a pattern building for this Jamaican school boy athlethe-turned-model. From Abercrombie and Fitch to amazing edits in Arena Homme + and September's Vogue Italia with Meisel, this young model is evolving very audaciously. It's only instinct but our model sixth sense is signalling an upcoming breaktrough moment for this male mannequin. Oraine is already looking very campaign ready in these new snaps Major's Jason Kanner sped over to us last night.
