Brady Donnelly/DNA
Full Name: Brady Donnelly
Homebase: Harbor Springs, Michigan
Age: 22
Discovery: I was discovered by JD Ferguson, from V Magazine, while walking down the street on the Lower East Side. He suggested I meet with DNA, where I was signed shortly afterward.
Favorite hobbies: Photography, writing, soccer, skiing, reading, boating, and traveling, just to start.
Favorite music: New York has opened my eyes to a lot of new music, particularly through live shows and whatnot, and I spent most of the past few years listening to rock and hip-hop that came to me through friends and concerts. As of late, though, electro seems to be everywhere, and I've really enjoyed following some New York-based DJs - particularly LCS - all around the city, which always makes for a good night out.
Other career goals: Ultimately, I would like to remain on the creative side of things. While I was in school, I spent most of my time working in the media, writing articles and taking pictures, and part of me would like to continue in that way in some capacity, perhaps after graduate school. But I'm really undecided. I think keeping an open-mind right now, through all of this, has the possibility of leading to some new opportunities, as it has in the past, and I'd like to see what they are.
Brady's suggested books to read: In no particular order-Everything is Illuminated, by Jonathan Safran Foer; Hopscotch, by Julio Cortázar; The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hemingway; A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, by Dave Eggers; and Mothers and Sons, by Colm Tóibin.
How did you enjoyed this shoot? Everyone, during my first shoot and the several that followed, was more supportive and patient than I expected, and that allowed me to overcome any apprehension or nervousness I might have had. That's not to say it was all smooth sailing - the process requires more strain and attention to detail than I think most people realize, and it took me a while to begin to find my own way of doing things. That will still take some time, but if the first shoot was any indication, I think the process will be a positive one.
Zachary Kinsella/DNA
Full Name: Zachary Kinsella
Homebase: Upstate, Oneida, New York
Age: 29
Discovery: Shawn from DNA stopped me on the subway, normally, I don't really pay attention to scouts but I knew DNA was a great agency. Also, the day before I was prop styling for German Vogue with Alexi Lubomirski and he asked me to step in as a model. So, the timing seemed right.
Favorite hobbies: I tattooed myself twice last month, it's my new favorite hobby
Favorite music: Lately, lots and lots of Neil Young
Other career goals: I'd like to do set design for a film, provided it was a film I'd be proud to be involved with.
Favorite prop/styling gig so far: My favorite set I've helped build so far was for Harpers with Tyra Banks as Michelle Obama. We kind of recreated some iconic JFK and Jackie O images. It was the first time I wanted a picture of myself in a set I have help built.
How did you enjoyed this shoot? It was fun, always something new to learn from every shoot!
