"i think photographers see my personality. i have a strong and active personality, this always comes out in all my shoots. most photographers like my active and fun attitude during photo shoots, it really made everything easy for them. i think one of my secrets during photo shoots is that i am having fun, i really enjoy what i'm doing, that truly helps in building that perfect shot"

"even before i started modeling, i always enjoyed working out, and now that this is my career and my priority, that knowledge motivates me more to be more physically fit and active. i work out 4 times a week and i try to maintain the best shape. i run a lot, and i try to eat healthy foods as much as i can. in modeling, your body is like a product, in order to be competitive, you should take care of it and make sure that you are ready for this tough career"

"the hardest modeling experience happens during the time that you are building your portfolio. the first shoots are the most difficult because you are inexperienced and sometimes there are personality issues that will come out like shyness. but once you overcome the awkwardness, you will do great. try to find a good agency, a good agent and you will be fine, everything will work smoothly, as long as you are ready for the challenges that lies ahead of you"

"i have many sources of inspiration in modeling, one of them is my friend who opened the idea to me and also i think browsing through magazines and adverstisements and learning more about how other models do their job, from posing to all other industry secrets, can really help anyone. i think if you really want to make it in modeling, you should be interested in all aspects of modeling, when i went on my first casting, i realized that i really want to become a model"

it was not an easy start for andre, he went in an agency in milan and he found them to be genuinely interested in him, this made him very happy. however, after some research, he found out that this agency has lots of negative reputation, everything dawned on him when they asked him to pay for a certain modeling school, of which they wanted him to go to. experience taught andre how a real agency works and how he can find the right one that will help him towards his career goals. after ten days of countdown, andre truly inspired everyone with all his experience and thoughts on career. definitely, we will be seeing more of andre, cause he's just getting ready for modeling. and there's more to come later on. andre is currently studying at st. mary's college in california and he's also in the college tennis team. to know more about him click andre
