THE MUSICAL INFLUENCERS
“And for those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
We’re so proud to present our amazing pool of talented musicians who are creating compelling tunes and making waves in the scene.
They are the future of music…we suggest you get on board.
Billie Eilish // Meet the 15 year old American pop Star who has only just begun her
journey to fame with her breakout record, “Ocean Eyes” virtually making her an overnight
success. With the video for her single, “Bellyache”, reaching over 1 million views, an
album in the works, and an upcoming headlining tour, Billie’s time to shine is on the horizon.

DAKOTA BOTTCHER // Long time Photogenics model, musician, and most recently, slanger of rare vintage finds
(@tarantula_vintage) joined The Buttertones, a 5 piece band that are bringing back elements of rock n roll, soul, and
cow punk from every decade since the 60’s.

JOSEPH MATICK // One of many of our rad influencers turns his romantic relationship with Carly Kuss into a
musical duo called Girlyboi. Their music is filled with soulful lyrical dialogue with the intentions of creating the prettiest
music anyone’s ever heard. Watch out for their new single, “Bonfire” which dropped June 29th, 2017.
Clinton Van Arnam // Classically trained drummer and producer, Clinton and LA singer/keyboardist, Melanie
deJesus, formed electronic dup @DSTNCE_, after mutual influences bringing the two together. With their upcoming
album release, the two steadily work towards an audio/visual performance in the fall.
Babe Alert…Derrick Appiah
He’s a sk8r boi, but we didn’t say see ya later boi. Freckled face Derrick Appiah from London is another new addition to the Photogenics family. I think it’s safe to say we just spiced up your Monday.
Fresh Face Friday…Nick Clarke Brown
Let’s welcome this guitar-strumming, London lad with open arms to the Photogenics family. Nick Clarke Brown gives us lip––not in bad way of course.
Fresh Face Friday…Julia Cordova
It’s been a while since we’ve Fresh Faced. We want to introduce you to Julia Cordova. She puts the “bad” in Carlsbad. This Southern California native––standing 5’11″––was scouted at The Grove’s Topshop flagship. Just look at her; why wouldn’t she have been scouted!? Watch out world. Julia’s here.
Fresh Face Friday…Ally Durham
This henna-wearing Orange County girl was scouted in the warm sands of last year’s US Surf Open in Huntington Beach. With her buzzed locks, Ally is like a breath of fresh air who’s definitely one to watch. Those lips. Those brows. Dzamn.

BABE ALERT…Mathilda Tolvanen
Starting off the week with a little Babe Alert action for our newly signed Mathilda Tolvanen. We are over the moon that she’s able to spend the summer in sunny LA with us. Welcome to LA, Mathilda!
The First Babe Alert of 2015 – Ciara Turner
It feels good to be back!!! We’re ready to make 2015 the best year yet, and with the Photogenics Art Book Vol. 2 on the horizon it’s sure to be a busy one.
I thought I’d start out with a little Babe Alert to get the year going on this blog. I just want everyone to know about this girl because she’s one of the sweetest girls I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and she really brings it in front of the camera. Look out for her in the Art Book issue of PhotogenicsMAG coming soon.
Babe Alert…ANNIE MONTGOMERY
Annie has one of those “Out-of-this-World” faces that we perpetually seek here at Photogenics. We couldn’t be happier to have her on our board. Welcome, Annie!
A vision named Aspen…
Aspen is one of those girls who strikes inspiration in the creatives of this industry: photographers, art directors, stylists, make up artists, hair stylists, you name it. Every artists loves a good canvas, and Aspen is everything we ever dream of in a muse. I’m happy to say that now we can all rest easy (or rather hit the ground running) because she’s here in LA and I’m chomping at the bit to shoot her for PhotogenicsMAG: The Art Book Issue Vol. 2
Without further ado…The vision for which the title of this post gets its name. ASPEN.
FRESH FACE FRIDAY…Dasha Sergeeva
BABE ALERT…Maaike Klaasen
We’ve been dying to get this amazing face out here to LA, and thanks to persistence and planning, she’s finally here! Welcome to LA, Maaike!!!
BABE ALERT…Natallia Krauchanka
FRESH FACE FRIDAY…Monroe Gallatin
We first met Monroe when she was 16, just a P.Y.T. with bright eyes and rosy cheeks. Due to some unforeseen events, she was forced to take a bit of time off from modeling, and after about a year she returned to us with a completely transformed look! We always knew there was something special about her. Welcome back, Monroe!
FRESH FACE FRIDAY…Samantha Archibald
BABE ALERT…Jakob Blom
Proud to announce that we are now representing Jakob Blom. Welcome to the board, Jake!
BABE ALERT…Julia Almendra
It’s amazing when a girl like Julia comes to town and just kills it with personality. She’s spending a few weeks in la la land, and we couldn’t be happier! Welcome to LA, Julia!
BABE ALERT…Corey Scott
Corey’s just a regular guy from Chicago who came to us via Pulse Management. He used to be in a band, but is now living and working in LA. He still writes and plays his own music and is just “really, really, ridiculously good looking.” Welcome to the board, COREY! You’ll do juuuuuuuust fine here.

FRESH FACE FRIDAY…Irie Calkins

FRESH FACE FRIDAY…Mariya Melnyck
This 18 year old Ukrainian lovely Mariya, though fresh to LA, has been modeling and traveling since she was 14 years old making her a seasoned pro and ready as ever to take on whatever this market has to offer. Oh yeah, and fun fact – she’s super into film and cinematography and wants to direct music videos one day. Total Photogenics girl.
LOOK.BOOK.LOVE // Publish Brand’s “MONO” collection
Absolutely LOVING the sporty minimalist approach in Publish Brand’s new “Mono” collection with our boy Master. Check out the feature on HypeBeast’s latest.
FRESH FACE FRIDAY…Blake Williams
Agency owner, Nicole Bordeaux, with her sharp eagle eye for talent scouted this kid on a ski lift. That’s right! She knows good bone structure when she sees it, even if it’s all hidden beneath foggy ski goggles and a beanie.
Introducing…BLAKE WILLIAMS. A warm welcome to our board, Blake! <3 Photogenics
BABE ALERT…Jade McSorley
We can’t wait for this freckled beauty to make her way to Los Angeles this summer. Introducing Jade McSorley, newly signed to Photogenics and sure to make a huge splash when she finally touches down in our market. Welcome to the board, Jade!
BABE ALERT…Luke Ditella
He wears it well… There’s a certain distinguished quality about Luke Ditella, yet we know him to be quite the bad ass underneath it all. Here are the reasons why we think this dude is worth an extra special BABE ALERT:
1) This New York native/bi-coastal babe is back and forth from SoCal to NYC partially for modeling, but he also owns a vintage motorcycle surf shop in Leucadia, CA called Seaweed & Gravel. Builds and rides them. Yeah…’nuff said.
2) Don’t let the beard fool you…This babe is a beast on a surfboard. He’s been featured on countless surf media sites such as Surfing Magazine, Eastern Surf Magazine, Surfer’s View, and Adventure National Geographic.
3) He looks damn good in a suit + tie.
4) and even better in a vintage moto jacket.
and lastly…
5) He’s a family oriented, down to earth, animal loving devoted friend and one-woman-man type of guy.
To see more of Luke, follow him on instagram @lukeditella
LOOK.BOOK.LOVE…Vejas AW’14
Speaking of raw….Loving this look book recently released by emerging designer, Vejas Kruszewski. The unexpected composition, obscurity, and detail shots sprinkled throughout this newsprint style look book give me a really strange feeling, and if you haven’t picked up on it yet, STRANGE = GOOD in our book.
Creative director – Melissa Matos
Fashion/ Designer – Vejas Kruszewski
Styling Assistant – Catherine Simard

Age: 16 | Hometown: Malibu, CA
BABE ALERT!!!…Virginia
Suuuuuuuup….Mel here. Hope you all loved the last issue of photoGENICSmag as much as I do. A big thank you to the home-slice-tenderoni, Nicci Arone, for filling in while I was off getting inspired in Indonesia. I’m back and feeling pumped about pretty much everything except for my F’d up sleep schedule. So last night in a desperate attempt to get back on track, I took an Ambien and had the most gnarly dreams which were scary but also injected me with this weird creative current. Basically, I’m feeling pretty unstoppable at this point, and I’m ready to pump out some great content and a radical Issue No.6. But more on that later.
Today, I want to introduce you to the lovely Virginia. This Dutch beauty just arrived and is ready for some work/play. Welcome to LA, Virginia!!!
M.O.B. ‘ing Deep!
aaaand it’s FRIDAY!
Who’s more stoked for the long holiday weekend than us?

BABE ALERT…Jesse…
Everyone say ‘SUP! to Jesse Somera, the newest member of our crazy, dysfunctionally functional Photogenics family. No-brainer!!! He’s an all around good guy, a babe of all babes who takes dope photos, skates heavy every day, and just happens to be homies with 50% of our board. This is obviously an exaggeration, but he definitely hangs tough with the best of them. His blog, Mad Thirsty, is one that I visit when I’m feeling a little down, and since he’s already contributed some photos for a couple of my previous posts, I invited him to become an official Photogenics blog contributor.
Stay tuned for MADTHIRSTY x Photogenics, comin’ atcha reeeeeeal soooon. Welcome to the fam, Somera!!! – M –

babe alert…HANNA…
Hanna just touched down from Ukraine to spend some time in sunny California. We’ve learned a lot about her already in the short time since she landed. She’s an artist, painter, photographer, and all around down-ass-chick. Welcome Hanna!
SNOW dayzzzz…
“I never seem to be in LA for very long these days… My most recent trip was a spur of the moment adventure to Utah for Sundance! I literally felt like I was in a snow globe. We’re so deprived of a winter in Los Angeles. I loved waking up and breathing in the fresh crisp air while feeling my nose turn cold. I traveled outside of Park City to meet some horses, check out the motels, and admire the beautiful scenery on the road.”
