"While we were shooting, the photographer got a picture of me completely staring at her boobs because she was half naked, so he decided to show the picture to her right there, and instead of being insulted, it actually worked in my favor and I was no longer alone in my hotel that night"
Thanks for having me Edward! Well first off, I was born in southern California and have lived here my whole life. I played nearly every sport available in my community, and have always been a people kinda person. I have so many personal interests it’s almost too much to say. I became a model when I was 17 years old, and it was mainly because of the influence of my friends and family. It wasn’t something I strived to do really, I just happened to fall into it. I put a few pictures online of my body with a regular digital camera and a photographer sent me a message asking me to shoot with him. After we shot, he refused to give me the pictures and I nearly killed the mother f*#ker, but then he came to his senses and gave me a cd. I posted those pictures on models.com then got a few more messages from more photographers who then referred me to modelmayhem.com which has been my biggest help so far. I had a modeling agency, but after a while, I figured out how to do it myself without having to deal with their constant nagging. But so far, the best thing I’ve gotten out of modeling is the fact that it was a huge stepping stone into acting

There was a shoot I did once with a girl in Florida who I hadn’t met before, and while we were shooting, the photographer got a picture of me completely staring at her boobs because she was half naked, so he decided to show the picture to her right there, and instead
Dominick by himself Catwalk´s experiences: I ’ve only done one catwalk show really and it was for a designer who was close to if not literally insane. I had a good time and the clothes were pretty diverse, but man, he was a nut!
Imagine u a famous actor/model surrounded by a huge crowd. How you´d handle it?: If a crowd of people was to swarm me all of the sudden, I think I’d take out my phone and start filming so I would have evidence when I told my friends the story. I love interaction with people, so I would be more than happy to talk to everyone!
