Photographer, Justin Wu takes on a new project, something different from the typical high paced behind the scenes model shorts during the world’s Fashion Weeks.

Wu directs and produces his latest film titled, ETHOS - starring model/actor, Nick Bateman. The local Toronto model has taken part in various LGFW shows, stared as the face for an Abercrombie & Fitch ad campaign and walked & modeled events in good old Toronto. [Edited]

I’ve spent many shows backstage, filming and snapping shots and never once has he ever been approachable, let alone amicable. [That approachability factor has since changed see how Bateman & I discussed this] Asides modeling and acting, Bateman holds the title as a world martial arts champion. [Edited]

Special shout out to Danny Nguyen who was the set photographer for the shoot - rising star, so keep your eye on him! Oh, and while you’re at it, follow him on Twitter.

This post has since been edited due to my choice words of arrogance, cockiness & jackass because Bateman himself approached me regarding the post and apologized for any past moments of social misconduct and I did too for saying what I said. I know, I’ve never gone back to edit anything in my past years, but it really struck a cord in me that Bateman had the balls to resolve the misconception and I both admire and respect that. Especially how many of you know me always being portrayed as a jerk myself when I’m far from it. Actually…kidding!
