CHICAGO—Not long after he happened to pass through a bustling office Friday morning, stock-photo model scout Andrew Sheeran revealed to colleagues that he had seen something very special in a man he had spotted wearing business attire and crossing his arms. “The second he sat down on the edge of that desk, folded his arms, and stared ahead intently, I knew this guy was a natural,” Sheeran said of the clean-cut, dark-haired 35-to-45-year-old man. “I can definitely picture him shaking hands with a smiling Asian woman or standing in front of a projector screen pointing to a pie chart. Who knows, maybe he could be on the cover of a workplace guidelines pamphlet some day. He has the potential, that’s for * sure.” Sheehan added that the last time he had come across such raw talent was back in 1997, when he first saw famed stock-photo model Hank Felder sit down at a desktop computer, grimace, and run a hand through his hair.

He has the typical $ 4.95 smile…

But he does cross his arms rather naturally doesn't he?

I prefer the photographer. Much more sexy IMHO. Models like that make me cringe. Am I the only one?

But will he blend?

Sorry, I just had to....

I can see what he is talking about although I'm about to throw up in my mouth just hearing about such concept shoots with fixed quote interracial business situations - blech.

If this "model" can really deliver then there is more potential than just "business man with headset smiling"...

Those are actually his legs, but he is so natural you just can't tell.

More than that I noticed that's not some monopod or tripod, look at the camera mount! Holy Cow! Yes some peole don't understand the Onion yet and believe it's real.

Maybe I have an advantage because it was founded at UWM-Madison in 1988? (Wisconsin)
