-Hello
Alexandre, I'm flattered you accepted to be interviewed
for CoverMen Mag!, to start this interview
off, please give me some background information.
I'm from Belo Horizonte, its
a big city in Brazil, its about 4 million people and
its up on the mountains. There's no beach and the closest
one is Rio which is like 5 hours by car. I used to live
with my family before starting traveling. My Mom,
my Dad and my Sister. My dad's is an accountant and
my mom a psychologist; my sister which is 2 years
younger than me is a model also but she is studying Accountancy
and living in Belo Horizonte for now. I studied 2 years
business management there, but after I started
traveling I couldn't finish...One day maybe. Now
I live between NY and Paris.
-Do you remember
how and when did you start modeling and your first
modeling photo shoot?
Hahaha yes that was
crap! No stylist no make and even the photographer wasn’t
a photographer...He was trying to start! But was cool
cause since there I started learn. But I started
cause two girls from an agency in my city told me to
go there. And I went. It was 2004 and I was 17.
-Did
anyone ever tell you that you should be a model before
that?
Yes!! My lovely Mom!! Hahahaha
-What did you buy with your very first earning as a model?
I saved.
-What aspect of modeling is your favorite and what is
your least favorite?
My favorite is the possibility to travel, to know new
people
and see that the world is so different about cultures
but the people
are all the same. I don't like to be away from my friends
and family...
That's the worst.
-Tell me, what do you think is the key to be chosen
by photographers
and clients in such a competitive market?
Be yourself!
Open
the windows of your eyes and show them what you can
express from
inside.
-Apart from modeling, would you like to pursue another
field, such as
acting?
I've thought about it but I'm not sure yet.
I feel more like
business man but lets see.
-What role would
you like to
play?
If so, I would like to try different roles.
-Tell
me more about yourself, how would you describe yourself?
Which adjectives
would you use?
I'm peaceful
and I love to be with my friends around. I love to play
soccer
and all kind of sports!
-I'm sure you travel alot, what was the most interesting
place you have
ever visited?
Each place has some particular interest
NY is my favourite
city to live but Tokyo was the most interesting place
that I've
been! So nice!
-If you weren't modeling, what do you think you'd be
doing now?
Working
with business management in some company in my city
or working
with my father in his accountancy company.
-What did
you wish to
be when you were a kid?
First a soccer player, but I'm
not good enough. Than a business man, but life took me for a different
direction
and I appreciate it!
-Thanks
Alexandre for taking your time to reply to my questions,
it
was a
gift to me and my readers!
My
pleasure!! Thank you and hope you guys enjoy my work.
I still learning
and trying to make it better and better! Cheers!
