I'm looking for a picture of a young (20s) handsome Native American male, preferably with long hair; preferably shirtless (Think Rick Mora, Jay Tavare). Mixed heritage would be fine (character represented is mixed Native American and Caucasian). No face paint or headdress. Any clothing or accessories would need to fit with late 1840s... nothing modern looking. I would prefer that he be facing forward or at a slight angle and have a serious or contemplative expression. Preferred background is western wilderness or rural farm, but that can be added later. This image would be used to make a book cover and related promo images (bookmarks, quote teasers, etc.).
Note: Should the model be concerned, this novel will be well-researched and will attempt to show fairly the lives and hardships of the Native American people of that time period. The character the photo represents is the hero of the story.
The background isn't an issue, but the model's age, pose / expression, physical characteristics, and clothes / accessories are. Unfortunately none of the images submitted were usable.
