My opinion is that Damian Christopher's beautiful artful photography made both guys look better in their stills than they appeared on film which caused the negative reaction. Graham is a cute kid, but seemed timid on camera. I don't think that either guy was really cut out to be a porn star.
I agree Mikey,
Damian Christopher had such fantastic camera skills, that he made both guys really look their best on a still photo camera. In just a for instance of the contrast between the still photos and the videos, DC insisted that Graham comb out his curly hair for the photo shoots and BTS vid. He looked
amazing in them. But then Clay let him wear his hair any which way on set for the video shoots with an unkempt, just rolled out of bed look.
I think our "Honey Graham" would have been much better received with fewer scenes right out of the gate. That way they could have coached him more in between on things he could improve upon next time. He was given 2 scenes with Flint that fared badly in the ratings. And poor Flint was just not ready (at least not yet) for gay porn. Flint went on to serve our country in the military. We thank Flint sincerely for his service!
So Graham's
Broke Straight Boys debut got off to a rocky start with weak and lethargic performances, one really weak scene partner, bad hair days and ultimately...poor reviews. He is one model who I think could still have potential with proper coaching, guidance and a smarter looking hairstyle. He could have been a very popular twink-like model along the lines of
Kodi. I blame Clay for dropping the ball with Graham, more so than Graham himself. Clay the director was just MIA in giving him any direction or coaching for being in front of the video camera. It was like there
was no director in his scenes.
He's one former Broke Straight Boys model who I would certainly look at with a welcoming and open mind if he was ever invited and willing to come back. And yes. Especially given the model selections lately, bringing up the possibility of Graham coming back is a strong hint. lol
