Halfway through his modeling career we captured Bond on a return visit to New York in his mid twenties.  We were working in a studio space in a converted Civil War factory on the Brooklyn Waterfront.  The once gritty and rough neighborhood is being transformed as New York City reclaims vast post-industrial shorelines for 21st-century commercial and residential use.

Models enjoyed working in the area.  On one side of the 150-year-old studio building was what remained of the historic Brooklyn waterfront, still-busy warehouses and storage lots.  On the other side was a glitzy new city park with pedestrian piers jutting into the East River and a ferry terminal connecting to midtown Manhattan, directly across the river.  Striking contemporary apartment towers rise next to repurposed Victorian-era warehouses and factory buildings. 

It was here that 3 photographers and the model worked for 2 days, culminating in 2 large online galleries of images and 2 publications.

Bond is the featured model in Captured Shadows #5, along with several other models.

The online gallery TEASE inspired the photo essay Skull and Bonds, featuring the model in the studio with nothing more than a white robe, an apple and a prop skull.  An accomplished tease before the camera, Bond puts on his most provocative show ever.
