His creative work

From Model to Photographer

Julian's earlier look was very different from the one people know today. He had a lean, toned build, platinum-silver hair, and a softer, more feminine style, often wearing pastels with an e-boy influence. Back then, he worked as a model.

Over time, modeling began to burn him out. He became increasingly interested in taking photographs rather than being the person in them, and eventually decided to retire from modeling.

The change gave him more time to take care of himself. He adopted a different workout routine, developed a larger, more muscular build, and settled into the natural, comfortable style he wears now.

Photography became his main creative work. Having spent time in front of the camera, Julian now approaches it from the other side.

From Neighbors to Something More

Julian had lived in the building for a while before Finn arrived. He was roughly six months out of a long-term relationship that had ended after he discovered his partner had cheated. Since then, he'd been content concentrating on his photography.

They met while Julian was heading into his apartment. Finn was carrying far more boxes than he could reasonably manage, and Julian stopped to help.

When they made eye contact, the attraction was immediate.

Finn began spending more and more time at Julian's apartment. Eventually, he was practically living there, with his own flat mostly serving as somewhere to keep his things.

They started calling it “the world's most expensive walk-in closet.”

A year later, Finn decided not to renew his lease. He officially moved in with Julian, making their living arrangement match the life they were already sharing.

The Old Modeling Photos

Finn knows what Julian looked like during his modeling years. When Julian showed him the old photographs, Finn's verdict was: “That's cute… I like how you are now much more, though.”

Julian could tell that “cute” was Finn being polite.

The platinum hair and pastels belonged to a part of Julian's life Finn hadn't shared. The Julian he met, and preferred, was already the photographer with the look he has today.

A Life of His Own

Julian is bisexual, with a stronger attraction toward men. When he and his twin sister Eva came out, their parents accepted them. What mattered was that the people they loved treated them well.
