ABOUT IMAGE

Photographer, Melissa de Mata, always wanted to shoot a menswear line — the question was just when she’d get the chance. It wasn’t until she found the right location and model, Michael Wayne Turner III, when things fell into place. “I was struck by his impeccable style and on-screen persona.” Melissa says, “When I finally met him in person, I found out he was an actor and a dancer (among other talents) and I knew he would be the perfect artist to collaborate with.”
