Dylan Reynolds is not you typical model; he doesn’t fit the “dumb model” stereotype. In fact he quite the opposite, this past December, Dylan was accepted in to the Harvard Law School. After receiving a degree form University of California in Berkeley, he graduated with a perfect 4.0. “I had NO social life, its been at least one year since I’ve been on a date” Dylan always knew he wanted to be a lawyer, but wasn’t always sure how he was going to pay for school. Growing up with a single mom, money was tight, and as a young teen growing up in the trendy Bay Area, his expensive taste in clothes and entertainment was more of a curse than redeeming quality. When he was 15, he was approached in a Target by a model scout who encouraged him to come to an open call where the agency was looking for male teens. After convincing his mother to let him go, he finally went, unfortunately he wasn’t what they were looking for, or so he thought. Two days after the open call he got a call from one of the agents where they needed a model last minute for a Mervyn’s shoot. “I remember making $300 that day, after that it clicked that this modeling thing is my way to getting extra cash for things I wanna do”. Now 25 Dylan has been doing modeling off and on, besides interning in law offices, he’s been able to pay for a good chunk of school. “The less debt the better…”
For the shoot I wanted to dress Dylan in fall inspired clothing. Because he doesn’t look like the typical law student, I wanted the styling to be an exaggerated look of a “school boy nerd”
