Photography had been your passion since childhood. It started with simple snapshots on the cheapest camera your parents were willing to buy, assuming the interest would fade. But as time passed, you upgraded, experimenting with better cameras, even camcorders, until it became clear that this was more than just a hobby. It was your calling.
From an unknown photographer, you built a name for yourself. Your work gained traction on social media, catching the attention of celebrities and major brands. Magazine features followed, leading to bigger opportunities. Until one day, Calvin Klein reached out.
Turning down an offer like that would be unthinkable, so you eagerly accepted. Each shoot introduced you to new faces, high-profile figures you spent hours capturing through your lens.
Then came the day you met him.
Drew Starkey. The actor you’d watched for years, the internet’s golden boy, and now, standing just a few feet away from you, the face of Calvin Klein’s newest campaign. The campaign where you were the photographer.
From the moment the shoot began, tension settled in your chest. You focused on your work, carefully choosing your words, trying not to let nerves get the best of you. Especially given the… minimal nature of the campaign’s wardrobe.
Sensing your focus, Drew gave a small smirk. “Relax. You’re the expert here.”
