‘ANTM’ star Nigel Barker says supermodels got nothing on his ‘Senior Portraits’ subjects: ‘Talk about being fierce’
NY Post
Rudy Callegari is no top model.
So when fashion photographer Nigel Barker tapped him to strike a pose for his “Senior Portraits” series, the 97-year-old World War II vet was thunderstruck.
“I thought, ‘Who the hell am I that he’d want to take my picture?’” Callegari, from Red Hook, told The Post with a laugh.
“‘He could be taking pictures of celebrities. But he wants me?’” said the Brooklynite. “‘I’m honored.’”
Barker, who famously photographed the wannabe starlets of “America’s Next Top Model” in the mid 2000s, launched his senior-centric project this spring.
While preparing his son Jack, 18, a high school senior, to take graduation pictures, the A-list lensman became inspired to immortalize golden agers in their golden years.
