Brom

Brom, 18, comes from a small town in south-western Slovakia. His best friend Rodro introduced us, and the three of us met for a drink in their town. Brom was very shy at first, though he had very sweet smiles that kept appearing.

Like Rodro, he’s currently unemployed and picks up casual gigs when they come along. The rest of the time he hangs out with friends, plays football, and spends time with his girlfriend. He’s never been far from home, but he dreams of visiting Brazil one day.

The shyness around me was likely because of him thinking of of appearing nude for the first time. Once that was out of the way, he was social, friendly, and easy to be around. The photoshoot went very smoothly. He was reliable and pleasant to work with, and he brought good, positive energy throughout. We keep in touch and have gotten together a few times, and he’s been asking about doing another photoshoot.
