What is rock n' roll? To me, rock n roll means freedom. Freedom to wear what you like, say what you like and live in a way that is parallel to your beliefs. In history, icons of rock have been known to be rebellious or disturbed. My view of rock n roll today is being comfortable in your own skin. Please study these images. Some images are of Farquar, himself and others are images I've found that feel like what I'm trying to communicate. In general Mark "Farquar" Vaccacio wore many "hats". His style ranges from country western, to rock, to safari hunter. He collected all kinds of things like toys, tin boxes, knives, german beer steins and the list goes on and on. As the creative director for this project "It Takes a Little Work", I am compelled to include these details into the images my team and I are photographing. Your job as a model is to bring props, clothing, accessories that fit your personality but may also exaggerate your style. It doesn't mean you have to do the cliche "rock/punk" look with pink hair and a Ramones tee. It simply means, dress how you would like to see yourself. It means, dress in a way that makes you feel good, sexy and confident. Farquar was criticized for the way he dressed and the things he did and said, but his love for music and his raw talent could never be denied. And people loved that about him.
