Just like many other industries, modelling is a multi-fuctioning workplace. There is not just one type of model or indeed one type of job. Editorial shoots, catwalks, commercial modelling, high-end fashion, there are numerous forms, each challenging in their own ways. I long ago came to the realisation that I am, on the whole, a commercial model. This suits me...invariably the jobs revolve around acting and being more natural, an area I try and excel in. However, every now and then I get thrown a bone so to speak and get an opportunity to experience other aspects of my industry. One such case was in August of this summer. I was asked by Maite Albéniz to walk for her at 080 Barcelona. I have only walked on only two other occasions, over 2 years ago, so I was both excited and nervous. Im not a catwalk model. Quite simply I'm not tall enough. Invariably catwalk models are 6'1-6'3. I stand at just under 6 foot. Not catwalk height. However, walk I did :) Walking a catwalk is an exhilarating experience. Literally for those 45seconds you are walking, all eyes are on you. Right up until I stepped through the curtain at the back, my heart was beating out of its cage...a few steps down the catwalk and a calmness had come over.
On my Instagram you can see a picture of me and the other guys in the final group walk, the height difference is laughable! Im thankful to Maite for giving me the opportunity, I don't think its one I'll have many more times!
