arbs are all the rage today. From those seek- ing to diet, to those that are gluten-sensitive, to diabetics and to those seeking a more natural diet, discussion inevitably turns to grains and other sources of carbohydrates.

One result is the re-emergence of ancient and al- ternative grains. These historic foods can offer a variety of dietary (and culinary benefits). Some are gluten-free, some are high protein, some af- fect blood sugar so slowly and mildly that they are ideal for people watching their weight or blood sugar. There is definitely a place in a healthy diet for ancient and alternative "grains," but you will want to do your own research to see which fit into your regimen since there is such a variation from product to product.

To date, the challenge for many is incorporating these foods into a healthy diet that is also rich in flavor to match the nutritional benefits.

Popular ancient/alternative grains include:

Amaranth One of the world's oldest grains, amaranth is a South American grain that can be used in place of rice. Both gluten- and wheat-free, amaranth is high in protein (9g per cup) and is nutty enough to make for a good breakfast alternative.

Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it has all nine essential amino acids, which have been shown to boost immunity, improve muscle quality, and regulate hormone produc- tion. It's incredibly diverse and can easily substitute for less healthy carbs such as rice.

14 WIREMAG.COM #11 2018 t has been over three years since I inter- viewed German photographer TeeJott for a Wire Magazine cover story about his work, which included photos of some of the gor- geous models he photographs. You can visit wiremag.co/issue01_2015 to read that inter- view and browse through the sexy model pho- tos. I recently thought about TeeJott's wonderful photographs and decided to contact him for an update about his work. Like any talented artist, TeeJott has continued to evolve and his model photography has taken more of a documentary project nature, showing the development of his beautiful models.

Rafa Carvajal: For those who missed our last interview in 2015, tell us how your photogra- phy work has evolved since then. TeeJott: Before 2015, my work was surely more influenced by my 12 year experience in working on film-material and in black and white. I still publish my calendar each year in black and white, but since then, I have adapted my style more and more to the new possibilities of digital technology, which in effect means that my pictures are more colorful and more often presented in color. In regards to the content, I can say that my photos have evolved to a more lively, dynamic composition. The other major change is my new casting procedure, with a much more rigid evaluation of the model ap- plicants before I start to work with them. The advantage: Since 2015 most new models work exclusively with with me for 1-2 years. Starting from a newcomer level via TeeJott model level to the TeeJott top model level. I have basically opened a sort of TeeJott model academy, and thus my photo projects can also be viewed as a documentary project that shows the develop- ment of my models.

"I HAVE ALWAYS MANAGED TO CLIMB TO THE NEXT, HIGHER LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE, ALTHOUGH EACH AND EVERY TIME I THOUGHT, "THIS IS IT" AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET BETTER THAN THAT." - TEEJOTT

#11 2018 WIREMAG.COM 15 "TRY EACH DAY TO LOOK FOR THE HIDDEN BEAUTY IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS, BECAUSE THIS MAGIC IS A TREASURE THAT IS WAITING TO BE UNCOVERED BY EACH ONE OF US." - TEEJOTT

16 WIREMAG.COM #11 2018 RC: What major modeling photography have you done in the last three years? TJ: As part of my new model development strategy, I identified three main models that I have made the best, and had the most import- ant shoots with since 2015: Hagen (Instagram: @hagenrichter), Patryk (Instagram: @str0id), and Fabian (Instagram: @fabianxarnold). I call them my "Three Musketeers." All three have be- come well-known instagram stars in Germany with an international following also. My most important photo shoots have been with these three models. I even had a spectacular mod- el event with the three TeeJott top models as a main fan attraction in 2016, you can find a video by visiting wiremag.co/tjymg16.

RC: Describe your photography style. TJ: Iconic, full of power, evoking a fantastic sto- ry in your mind.

RC: Where do you currently get your inspira- tion for your photography work? TJ: In one word: Instagram. In more detail: I fol- low two sorts of people, dreamboys à la Shaan Mendes, Manu Rios, Ben Azelart on the one side; and good looking, ken-doll-style fitness models like Attila Toth, David Laid, Mario Her- vas and Tyson Dayley. But this is only a short excerpt of the people I follow. I like to give my- self a complete overload of impressions, then sleep on it and create my own interpretations of the ideas I have seen on my following photo sessions.

#11 2018 WIREMAG.COM 17 18 WIREMAG.COM #11 2018 "I HAVE BASICALLY OPENED A SORT OF TEEJOTT MODEL ACADEMY, AND THUS MY PHOTO PROJECTS CAN ALSO BE VIEWED AS A DOCUMENTARY PROJECT THAT SHOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF MY MODELS." - TEEJOTT

RC: What have you learned through photographing people? TJ: I have learned to listen very, very carefully to others and their stories. After 22 years of working with young men, I know a lot about motivating people. I know how to teach others to look ahead, believe in the future, and use their full potential. All those years of working with young male models have basically taught me to be quite a good motivational coach.

RC: What has been your favorite photo shoot since our last inter- view, and why? TJ: The Ibiza photo shoots with Hagen Richter in 2016. I am an absolute fan of Ibiza – I believe in the magical spirit of Ibiza – and Hagen is one of the most beautiful blonde men on earth. So, that was an ideal combination. Magical moments, great sunsets, a hot summer and an unforgettable five days with photo shoots, club nights and crazy cross-country tours over the island. Only five days on this wonderful island in the mediterranean sea, but a unique moment in time.

RC: What surprises you the most when you look back at your work? TJ: That I have always managed to climb to the next, higher level of excellence, although each and every time I thought, "this is it" and that I would not be able to get better than that.

RC: What is your current struggle? TJ: Two words, no budget. Too many ideas for my far too limited budget! I always have to decide between options. For example, I have many great model applicants all around the world, but no budget to visit them or let them fly to Germany. I have such great models in my team in Germany, but can't afford to rent the lo- cations that would be perfect, etc. I accept that as an inevitable challenge, but it starts getting on my nerves.

RC: Why do you think people love your photographs so much? TJ: Well, that is a difficult one. If I listen to my fans, then I guess they more often than not tell me that a "typical" TeeJott photo has the power to touch you in a way that can be described roughly like this: When you look at a TeeJott photo, it makes you love life and believe that one day you will meet the model on the picture… somewhere… someday.

RC: Is there anything else you would like to share with Wire Mag- azine readers? TJ: Oh, sometimes I am really jealous of you in Miami with all those beautiful men! But then, I realize that on each day beauty can be found in every region of the world. This is my message: Try each day to look for the hidden beauty in your surroundings, because this magic is a treasure that is waiting to be uncovered by each one of us.

#11 2018 WIREMAG.COM 19 TOP TRAX By DJ FR8-O PALOMA FAITH SINGER, SONGWRITER & SONIC ACTIVIST

amuel L. Jackson has appeared in over 100 films during his extensive acting ca- reer, but his most inspiring performance yet can be found in one of the most un- expected places. No, not in those cheesy credit card commercials. I'm referring to the opening interlude of Paloma Faith's fourth al- bum, The Architect. His rousing spoken-word piece called "Evolution" lets you know right away that this isn't just another typical Paloma Faith heartbreak marathon like her previous multi-platinum offerings. Constructed from the ground up with a foundation of soul pop and solid songwriting, Faith has added some social commentary into the mix this time, and it could be the move that finally cements her as one of the planet's most significant recording artists.

Touching on topics like the Brexit vote (she is from the UK after all), the immigration crisis and political injustice, Faith weaves each song with such artistic finesse they could just as easily be about the rise and fall of love and relationships. One thing that hasn't changed since her 2014 masterpiece A Perfect Contradiction, is her gift for designing hook-heavy pop anthems laced with classic R&B and disco. She's also enlist- ed a crew of experienced music muscle to help with the heavy lifting, like producers Starsmith (Ellie Goulding, Kylie Minogue, Clean Bandit) and Jesse Shatkin (Kelly Clarkson, Fitz and the Tantrums, One Direction). Not to mention the "Kings and Queens" to the sultry minimalistic "My Body," the former The Voice UK judge "Titanium" hit maker herself, Sia. takes you through all the feels and back flawlessly.

You would think that all these "top chefs" might In a recent press statement, Faith explained that she "wanted to look outside of myself. end up spoiling the whole meal by throwing I'm coming at politics from the perspective of the common man or woman, observing together a handful of unrelated singles just so why people are suffering. On previous albums, I've been more concerned with the past, they could add their personal signature to the but now I'm looking forward because of motherhood and wanting to change things for dish, but The Architect is just the opposite. Even a better future. It's a marriage of old and new." Everywhere we look, entertainers are with the wide range of styles sprinkled through- injecting their political views into their work. Screenwriters do it in their films and TV out the collection, Faith's distinctive voice ties shows, actors slip it into their acceptance speeches, but infusing socio-political messages them all together seamlessly, like a well-written into pop music can be a risky move even for the most praised artist. Remember Madon- story filled with just the right balance of highs na's American Life? In this case, the result is a provocative yet entertaining collection of and lows. From the James Bond-esque title track sonically impressive tracks that – like the skyscrapers that tower over major cities around

to the heart-wrenching "Guilty," to the poppy the world – could elevate our definition of popular music.Rhythm Nation, Part II anyone? © DEPOSITPHOTOS.COM | KAVRAMM PHOTO CREDIT: If you're a recording artist, producer or musician and would like your work featured in TOP TRAX, hit me up at [email protected].
