Posing around, on, and near a piano, model Gerhard Freidl looks like a clean cut and dressed up pianist for Mixte Magazine.

The Mixte Magazine photoshoot was photographed by Jean-Francois Carly and shows lots of 3 piece suits, slicked hair and sweater vests. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gerhard Freidl suddenly played an impressive song, he’s just dressed so convincingly. Take a look at the Mixte Magazine musical photoshoot above.

**Implications** - While you're doing so, though, consider the incredible photo shoot concept and the different angles many of these shots are taken at. The vision of Jean-Francois Carly is evident in every shot. Gerhard Fredi looks fantastic, and the shoot is one that contains shot that will likely pop up in your dreams.
