Hi everyone, thanks for giving me the time I really appreciate it. My name is Ed I am 21 year old student from London, doing biology right now, so actually getting involved in this I couldn´t be further from what I´m doing academically but you need to broaden your horizons get a mental break from study while knowing your covering your losses.

I live in London as I have all my life living in flat with my 4 house mates at the moment which is cool. Haha, my heritage confuses everyone thinking I´m half something anything take your guess, I´m actually just half australian half english.

SAFE AS BLOODY HOUSES

I have literally just started modeling been doing it about month and a half, it´s funny when the question says become a model cause to me I´m still just a guy getting photos taken a model seems to give it a title i cant validate in my head yet. Got into it via a mate called Devon from my course who actually doing really well for himself right now, just checked with him which photographers were legitimate etc etc. First shoot was with simon (hotsnapz) the guy was best person could have done my first shoot with.  He was complimentary safe as bloody houses and really gave me confidence to set the foundations, if you have bad first shoot it´s gonna scare you away.

RUNNING IN PARALLEL

The career demands well its do different to my course that, my work is sorta suffering while I get established but the whole thing so fresh so exciting I cant help but continue. Actually just came back from investment banking internship interview just a moment ago so its all stations are go. I think I´m running both in parallel at the moment and seeing what I can get out of it.

KICKING ABOUR IN TRACKSUIT PANTS

Haha, I don't really understand much of the fashion world, via having photo after photo taken I´m starting to figure out what works for me but as for being a fashiony guy no sir, not till I get the money I can appreciate fashion, but that´s as far as I´ve gone so far. I am always kicking about in tracksuit pants cos I go to the gym so often and they are so comfortable.

As for glamorous lol haha, gettin on a train and ending up in the arse ends of London has let me know glamour isnt the word it can only go up from here tho can't it haha.

CHASING BALLS OF STRING NOW

One of my greatest inspirations is Arnie and Christian Bale, those guys are awesome just have the right attitude dedication and outlook on life, I could go on all day so I wont. Ah my greatest professional dream I can't utter those yet, as I´m chasing 3 balls of string right now and I´m guarded person like that, I only ever announce my thought on something once they have reached their conclusions but I do want to reach the top.

I think with modeling I would like a really classy portfolio and a campaign for Boss or Armani would be getting pretty awesome. As for agencies does everyone have the luxury of choosing think I will have to wait to see who wants me not everyone gonna like my look.

BEING IN SHAPE

No, no preparation before going to a photographer thus far, I will do the professional thing and make sure I´m in shape etc and looking healthy, but that is what I like doing anyway so it´s not too much of an issue. About working with them, well, a good rapport is important letting me feel like i have a voice, the photographers who demand control of the situation can make people feel uncomfortable and you don't get the best out of the shoot from what I can tell.

NOT STUFFING SOCKS ... YET!

Wait hold on backstage moments, define backstage, if that means the sock draw I stuff down my briefs, jokes I haven´t done that yet lol. Don't think I´ve been backstage yet!

BEST STRESS RELIEVER

Tough ie weights slash gym gotta be in there somewhere it is the best stress reliever in the world. My ps  3 bloody love that thing anyone who hasn´t got one do gta 4 is out soon. 

Mates they keep you grounded and will rinse you any opportunity, but I don´t want to get into the cliches so will stop there course there are few ridiculous items to take too, but save that for next interview lol.

BUZZ IN NEW YORK CITY

I can't get enough of America I really get a buzz going when I´m in New York especially Manhattan it is really pathetic but the place is just cool. Second would be Japan I don't know why something about their culture really interests me- also i love their mental work ethic. 

Australia and London as they are my two family routes and then the last one would be South Africa that place is pretty interesting so much to see, also did shark diving there it was immense.

MOTTO

Fortune favours the brave, (or just generally some gladiator or 300 quote they are all epic)
