Kiray’s collaboration with me was a long time in the making. He had contacted me on Instagram well over a year ago and we tried to make something work back then, but our schedules just weren’t agreeing with each other. In the end Kiray decided he was going to delay trying to model until he got his physique where he wanted it. Flash forward to this June and I received a new message from him with a set of photos showing off the results of his dedication asking if I’d still like to collab.

It was definitely worth the year and a half wait, not just because of his new smokin’ bod, but because Kiray turned out to be a total gem on camera. He’d never posed professionally before but his ease and imagination in front of the camera were apparent with the first few frames.
