"He is a great friend of mine who is working as a model and Mexico City but his biggest dream is to become an actor. With a short career in modeling has participated in several campaigns for various clothing brands in Mexico."
Short info about yourself:
Hernán Canto
Where were you born?
Mérida, Yucatan, México
How old are you?
22 years old
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Merida, and at age 20 I went to live and work to Mexico City.
What kind of family did you have?
A very normal family, if that exists... hahaha they always wanted the best for me, so they have fully supported every desicion I've taken in my life.
How did you start modeling?
A friend of mine told me to get in an Agency, it started as a hobbie and in no time I was doing photoshootings and runways and commercial adds. I liked it a lot so I decided to make a living out of it, so I went by my own means to Mexico City to start doing it!
Did you take lessons?
Yes, a few, but after working, your reallize that what they showed you in those lessons is nothing compared to what "real modeling" is, they only show you the basics, nothing more; there are many things you have to work out and learn by yourself watching what you do and how your clients respond to it, I believe there is no better way of learning than to working it and constantly renewing yourself.
Does it bother you that people just lay down in your physique?
Sometimes it does, I really feel I can do better work that most of the models, becuase I actually don't "model", I act. I play with emotions and I think that's more important; to be able to express a certain feeling or thought.
More after the JUMP!
