Edward:  Hey Alexander, welcome to Connex247 family!! tell us about yourself.

Alexander:  I am a native Texan with British heritage. I just started College and am loving College life! I am active with sports and anything outdoors.

Edward:  How, when and how did you get into modeling world? How was your first test shooting?

Alexander: I got into modeling through a personal friend of mine, photographer Jeff Brewster.I had known Jeff for for a good while before the mention of modeling even came up. So, when the day arrived  for my test shooting it was VERY easy and relaxed. It was like two friends hanging out and taking pictures. I also knew the photographs would be amazing!

Edward:  What are your plans?

Alexander:  I do not think I have achieved any purpose in modeling except some extra cash and GREAT photographs.  Of course I would love to do ad campaigns for Abercrombie, Calvin Klein or Raplh Lauren.

I am very realistic about modeling and know that models have a shelf-life.My main focus is on College.But if anyone wants to offer me a ad campaign I certainly would not turn it down.

Edward:  What is fashion for you?

Alexander:  Fashion to me is ones own personal style. I prefer comfortable clothes like Raplh Lauren and Abercrombie. I am a jeans and polo kinda guy.

Edward:  I´m sure you might have some funny/unusual backstages moments. Share some of them with us.

Alexander:  I do have a funny back stage story. On my last photo session with Jeff, he had me on top of a train, well, the train took off while I was on top of it and Jeff had to pick me up 5 miles down the track!!

Edward:  What would u say is the key of the success? In your opinion, what are the upside and downside of a modeling career?

Alexander:  The pros and cons of modeling are a good balance. Knowing ahead of time that I will be booked for a shoot I train extra hard and stick to a strict diet and get plenty of rest and weekly massages.The down side is of course the diet. Giving up favorite foods like Chicken Fried Steak! But the up side is getting Bad-Ass photos!

Edward:  Are you a fashion guy?

Alexander:  I am not much of a fashion guy. My photo shots are usually themed and my wardrobe is minimal.

Edward:  IMAGE worth more than a THOUSAND WORDS?

Alexander: Image worth more than a thousand words? Who can say? I know photographs can lie. You can see a sexy picture and not realize all the hard work that goes into it. Being sexy never crosses my mind. In fact most of my shots, Jeff always has his massive German Shepherd , Solomon,with him and music going. So, when I see the final product I am always amazed how good they look, because things were VERY different on set.  It is more like hanging out than actual work!

Edward:  And what do you like to do in your spare time?

Alexander: In my spare time I just enjoy College life and hanging out with friends and I LOVE to travel.
