The soft, sepia-toned photograph "Don't Go for Second Best" depicts the handsome young male model Ben Lightside, with short curly hair, seated on a bed. He is wearing dark sunglasses, camouflage trousers, and the upper portion of his dark jacket unzipped, revealing his bare chest. A bright light from the front right casts dramatic lighting, highlighting his face and torso while leaving the bed and parts of the wood-paneled wall behind him in deep shadow. Damage is visible in the right corner of the photograph.

The outdoor photograph "Unburdened", taken in daylight, captures the young male model Ben Lightside smiling confidently and giving a thumbs-up as he poses at the abrupt edge of a road under construction, where asphalt ends and gravel begins. He sports a buzz cut, wearing a black leather jacket over a white T-shirt and black tactical trousers.
