We love photographer Trevor O’Shana. In fact, his work was covered in one of the very first Eye Candy posts. So imagine how thrilled we were when he agreed to shoot the already infamous Margaret Cho & Ricky Sinz cover and feature. He even brought along buzz-building stylist, Brett Bailey, for good measure.
As you can tell by comparing these images of British model Harry Tucker to our current cover shoot, O’Shana is gifted with exceptional visual agility. He reminds us of a Gen X Patrick Demarchelier, which should come as no surprise: O’Shana assisted Miranda Priestly's favorite shutterbug for several years.

Like Meryl Streep, who brought the devilish Priestly to life, O’Shana immerses himself completely in the assignment and becomes the work. He may be the violin soloist, but always thinks of himself as part of the orchestra. O’Shana deserves to be a household name by now, but his humility and disposition to think “we” rather than “me” is why we believe he has become a beloved industry staple.
Just think how cool you will feel when, one day, Kate Winslet takes a turn at playing an imposing editrix, whose character is always demanding that her assistants get O’Shana on the phone. You just might say, “Trevor O’Shana? That’s that guy who shot the historic Unzipped cover. I have one of his photography books with that picture in it!”
That's all.

Mr. O'Shana, a revealing talent admired by many.
And how much more "JOCK" can you get than "International" Mr. Tucker? I'll take one of those to go please. Wrap it, love it and sack it. I brought my own bag.
