When profiling anyone for FH one of the things I like to do find out where they are from. For some reason I find it interesting to connect their images with the location they grew up. With 21 year old Roham Da Mirz I didn't instantly connect København with Copenhagen, but when I pronounced it out loud, it all came together that København is Danish for the capital city of Denmark.
In going through the links Roham provided for my research I was struck by this quote on his Model Mayhem page:
'Roham is a fresh and cheerful young man who is ready for new challenges'
I am not sure if it is merely the English translation, but I found it rather unique and yes, refreshing, to see these two particular adjectives used to describe Roham. First off, I rarely see them used, and secondly, cheerful is a word, let alone a trait, not seen enough these days. It is sort of almost becoming a retro word and given the current world climate it is a tough emotion to sustain. Although most of the models I work with on profiles are professional, pleasant, supportive and respectful, cheerful is always a welcomed surprise.
Born in Iran, Roham always had an incredible understanding of music and movement. Even at the age of three he was the center of attention, dancing to music and posing for any camera in sight. Roham moved with his family to Denmark ten years ago to pursue his future as a Model, dancer and a DJ. In 2009 he really broke through and since has been very busy working in shows,both a DJ and a dancer, in some of the hottest clubs and bars in Scandinavia.
Roham has won several awards in Denmark and has been to the Showdance World Championships in Germany twice. Roham has worked with a lot of great choreographers from around the world and is currently working as a well established choreographer himself.

Last 6 images from Tom Rubeck from TR Pics.
It was a pleasant surprise to find shots by Tom Rubeck in Roham's port. Tom's work has been a favorite of mine to showcase on the blog since first discovering it earlier in the year. (Tristan by TR Pics/Sam Devries By TR Pics) Although Roham certainly has an amazing body, and Tom knows how to photograph amazing bodies, I was struck by the power in the portrait work. The first shot above could not help have me think of still I have seen of Robert De Niro from Taxi Driver. Not the characteristics of the character, but how powerfully hot De Niro was in some of his earlier films.
'In the Spring of 2010 I had a long business trip throughout Europe, and one of the stops was in Copenhagen. I had remembered seeing a model on Model Mayhem, and thought that, although he had great features, none of his pictures really seemed to capture that. So, I contacted him about a shoot, and during a Sunday afternoon, we got together.'
'I had initially wanted to do inside photographs, using my hotel room as a backdrop. But he wanted something different. He said he want to create some publicity photos for his alter-ego, which is a local and well-known DJ. So, he took me a few blocks into the city center where we came upon a small, gated park. And it was here that the shoot took place. He was very energetic, LOVED to twist his body into different poses, and before you know it, in about an hour we were done. It's been one of my quickest shoots, from meeting to wrapping up.'
