Aunt Ruby and Aunt Ruth both surveyed Adam's face intently. They were having a meeting inside Aunt Ruth's talent agency office, The -X- Factor Talent Agency.
"So, does he look like a model material?" Aunt Ruby asked her sister.
"Definitely!" Aunt Ruth examined Adam's face much closer.
"You got magnetic eyes, Adam. That eyes of yours can transform the product into sale any minute like hotcakes," she added. She had discovered many famous talents before that started from being nothing to become the biggest household model and endorser in the country. When it comes to discovering the talented gems among the many, she still has yet to fail.
Adam laughed heartily amused by Aunt Ruth's description of his eyes.
Aunt Ruth starts grinning. "Wow! Your smile can even launch a thousand ship!" she exclaimed.
Aunt Ruby laugh.
"So, is Adam worthy of your expertise?" she asked her sister.
"Absolutely! Consider you're already hired by me, Mr. Gavin Sanders! Welcome to your new family, The-X-Factor talent Agency!" she shook his hand.
Adam felt uncomfortable with his new name. But he needs to get used to it starting from today.
"The day is still young. I want to run a test photo for you in the studio if you don't object. I will have my secretary ready the contract for you to sign before the day ends. This test photos of yourself will be posted in all our social media accounts that already have a huge following. It will be your first exposure online. Let see if you can make a buzz online," said Ruth.
Since Adam has nothing to do in the condo, he agreed to the photo shoot test.
The studio was located on the fourth floor of the building, a 10-story building owned by the talent agency.
Inside the studio, there were different backdrops props ranging from abandoned building, dense forest, Dubai desert, captivating beach, a stunning swimming pool, majestic balcony, a plaza with lots of balloons floating in the background, and a lot more. It's like a gigantic studio complete with stunning backgrounds of multiple sceneries. There is a dressing room on the corner, and lots of men and women's clothing with varying colors and style lined up near the dressing room.

Ruth walked to the photographer who just finished wrapping up a photo-shoot of their newest lady talent.
"George, I want you to make a five photo test for Mr. Gavin, here. He is our newest star," she said smiling.
George who's been working in the agency for more than a decade shook hands with the young man, he looked at his face for a while and said, "Fantastic! Let's get the ball running Gavin!"
"Ruth, do we need to apply some foundation on Gavin's face?" Celda the makeup artist asked.
"Just a little bit, don't overdo it. Gavin has a raw appeal I don't want to mess it up with too much cosmetics. Maybe, tie his long hair a bit and make it appear shorter," Ruth said.
They chose the backdrop of a stunning beach as their first props, Gavin went inside the dressing room and came out wearing a beach stripe short, his upper body was shirtless, he holds a ball in his hand. Gavin sat down on one of the lounge chairs and made several poses as directed by the photographer. George took several photos of Gavin in different natural poses.
The second backdrop was that of the dense forest. Gavin sat down on one of the trunks of the trees staring dreamily at the heavens above just wearing denim pants sexily clinging to his hips, one pose of him staring at the camera with a smiling face. The third pose was taken when he wipes imaginary dust from his jeans, his hair tied at the back. The rest of the shots were natural poses.
The third backdrop was that of the abandoned building, Gavin was wearing a black denim pant, white V-neck polo and a sunglasses masking his eyes. He was leaning on one of the broken windows and sometimes sitting on the old tattered sofa, or just plainly looking at the camera with his gorgeous smile.

The fourth backdrop was that of the balcony. A Victorian house balcony, Gavin was wearing a black and white tuxedo, and a brown masked on his face. He made several whimsical and mysterious poses with and without the mask. He also sat on a chair in the balcony in the state of sleeping or untying his tie.
The fifth backdrop was that of the town's plaza. He was wearing a summer polo shirt with leaves and flower designs and matched with shorts of the same design. A pose was taken when he was holding the rope of the balloons behind him. Then he also made a pose of pretending to touch pigeons who are landing on the plaza's cemented ground. He was soon leaning on the plaza's fountain with water sprouting up above his head. He sat down on one of the Plaza's bench and smiled at the camera with a carefree attitude.
The sixth backdrop was added on the last minute, it was a bedroom scene where Gavin has to strip to his boxers and pose sexy photos. One pose he was propping his head on the pillows eyes close, the second pose he was looking at the camera with a mischievous look on his face. The third pose he was doing yoga. The fourth pose he was on the floor his back was supported by the bed and the fifth pose his lower body was covered with the white blanket.
The photo shoot was finished within 7 long hours due to frequent changing of costumes, changing of numerous backdrops, lighting adjustment, make up retouching and lots of posing and last minute changes. The photos were fed directly into the laptop with the photo technician making adjustments and adding some background effects on the photos.
Gavin was amazed!
Aunt Ruth and Aunt Ruby were watching silently from the sideline the whole time, they were delighted with Gavin's natural talent for modeling.
"George, what do you think of Gavin's talent?" Ruth asked her oldest and most trusted employee.
George scanned Gavin from head to toe. "Ruth, you hit a jackpot with this lad here! Gavin will surely go places sooner or later, good luck young man!" he gave Gavin a thumbs up.
Gavin smiled at them. The photo shoot session was fun, interesting and so easy to do! he told himself. It's like he was just messing around with the different backdrops and different costumes.
He was enjoying the whole new experience.
The Adam inside him was slowly dying...
The new identity within him as the model 'Gavin Sanders' finally emerged.
Ruth ordered food delivery for the whole staff, they eat their dinner in the oblong shaped table in the lounge area. Lively discussions were dominating around them. The photo technician was now processing all the photos. After one hour, they were able to check all the edited and natural photos one by one.
Another two hours deliberation and the chosen best photos were uploaded in Gavin Sanders portfolio in the talent agencies main website, then uploaded on their different social media channels.
Will 'Gavin Sander' the new model...a hit or a miss?
Now the waiting game has just started...

Time And Thoughts
This a book is where I freely express and convey emotions and my thoughts about topics. It's a place where I spend my TIME putting my THOUGHTS into words in hopes of helping someone. I've written these poems in such a way, so that my viewers can derive their own meaning from them. For me as a person I tend to feel more comforted, when down, by listen to music or reading poems, in which the poem or song is hopeless and gives off the feeling of the protagonist being bluntly hurt. In my poems I write without words of encouragement, but instead comfort the reader through understanding and allowing them to feel.If you ever feel the need to talk to someone or want to know the meaning of one of my poems or just wanna say something feel free to comment or private message me.Please enjoy and be comforted by my book.Highest ranking:#1 poems#1 poembook#2 poemcollection#2 poem#3 poetry#3 poetrycollection#5 sadpoems#5 thoughts#8 emotions#13 freeverse#17 hopeless#20 feelings#24 sadness#36 depressing #44 updating#56 life#70 sad#87 poet
