Every week we get requests to put more pictures of Daniel on MalePerceptions. Daniel Dischereit is one of our most popular models, and his masculine charm and athletic body have resulted in several modeling jobs,world-wide.

However, he also has experienced the darker side of "the industry" - an unprofessional modeling agency, big promises, illusions, fairy-tales and soap-bubbles. Nevertheless will he have a bright future as a model - and we will all support him.

These are pictures from a job in 2001/2002 in Miami Beach, Florida. We shot for a fashion label from Duesseldorf. Alexander was also on the team.

Even though Florida's reputation as a tropical paradise may be a bit overstated, the atmosphere, charisma and the flair of the place are impressive. It has snow white beaches, clean streets and wonderful 30°C (85 F) temperatures, even in late fall.

However, during summertime, Florida is hot and suffers from 95% humidity, which leaves one barely able to stand. Whoever can stays inside. "Where there is much light, there is much shadow", Goethe allegedly said -- even sunny weather can have its dark side.

In order to take advantage of the best light a day can offer (which is shortly after sunrise), on two days that week we voluntarily got up at half past four in the morning. Cruel, but it was worth it.
