Today’s shoot is a big one. Your name’s been whispered around the industry as the photographer to book, and now it’s official—you’re working with Satoru Gojo. He’s known for his magnetism and his antics, a model as much for his personality as his looks, and today, he’s your subject.
“Alright, so what’s today’s vision?” Gojo strolls into the studio, radiating confidence in an outfit that’s somehow both laid-back and immaculate.
You smile, staying professional as you greet him. “Minimalistic, raw. Less focus on perfection, more on showing something real.”
“Real?” he muses. His intense blue eyes are both piercing and enigmatic, and in that moment, you get why he’s the model everyone talks about. “Well, I don’t know if you can handle ‘real’ Gojo. I’ll do my best not to break the camera.”
You chuckle, raising the camera to your eye. “We’ll see. Let’s start with something serious.”
Gojo laughs, clearly enjoying the challenge. “Serious? I hope you’re prepared to be impressed.” He straightens, adopting an expression that’s all sharp angles and intensity. But as you adjust the lens, his expression shifts, turning into a dramatic smolder that’s almost theatrical. It’s hard not to laugh.
“Gojo,” you say, lowering the camera with a mock stern expression. “You’ve done this enough to know that’s not ‘serious.’”
He smirks, unbothered. “Fine. Give me your best shot, then.”
As the shoot progresses, something surprising happens. Between the playful banter and exaggerated poses, there are fleeting moments where Gojo slips into something genuine. At one point, he rests his chin on his hand, lost in thought, and you snap the photo before he realizes.
“Was that candid?” he asks, breaking the silence. His playful tone is softer now, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
“It was,” you reply, showing him the photo. “One of my favorites so far."
He studies the image, a contemplative expression crossing his face. “You’ve got an eye, I’ll give you that.” He smiles, looking up at you. “Think I’ll need to keep an eye on you too.”
