The Originals actor Joseph Morgan connects with photographer Yoshino on location at The Andaz West Hollywood to shoot a feature for The Laterals. Outfitted by stylist Juliet Vo, Morgan sports fashions from Burberry London, John Varvatos, Mezlan and more. Talking to the publication about The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, Morgan discusses his initial involvement, sharing, “I was lucky that around the time I decided I wanted to be involved in television this great role came up in The Vampire Diaries. I got a tremendous amount of support from the fans who shared my passion for the genre. It was really them that started to entertain the idea of a spin off by making trailers on YouTube for The Originals. Neither the producers nor myself had communicated our shared desire to make this show so I think I have the fans to thank for forcing the issue.” Read more on TheLaterals.com. / Grooming by Crystal Tran (Exclusive Artists) using Baxter of California.
