Rough exterior, warm inside

Met this proper chav lad while helping a mate shoot content for their OF—tatted up, built like a brick wall, face that could start a fight in an empty pub. Exactly my type.

The shoot itself was wild (check the freebie clip—my mate went full milkshake disaster on him, and he took it like a champ). But the real magic? The quiet moments before and after. All that intimidating swagger melted the second the camera was off. Turns out under the tats and the tough-guy stare was a total softie.

Wish I’d shot him properly. All that ink and muscle deserved better than a rushed behind-the-scenes. Next time.
