"My mother taught me that if you wish to create beauty, only do what is necessary and no more..." - Giorgio Armani

I have been modeling, and acting for four years now, done a couple of assignments including fashion shows, tv commercials, campaigns, magazine/newspaper adverts, choreographing shows, various photo shoots with local and european/asian photographers, and tv serials. Currently working as an IT Engineer for a private french company.

I am looking to chisel up my portfolio,network, paid work and limited TFCD/TFP for the time being. And i would certainly love to have any suggestions, ideas from anyone interested, mostly photographers and models.

Ready to work for any international modeling assignment and willing to travel if expenses are paid.

Feel free to message me here or on shawwn@hotmail.com if you have any query.

Suggestions, messages, critics and comments on my port are most welcomed.

Thanks everyone.

P.S (i) : I keep getting messages about the place i come from, so here is the official website for Mauritius Island : http://www.mauritius.net/

P.S (ii) : I don't mind making friends but please do not send me random friend requests if you just want to have me in your friend list. Im not here to waste my time and neither would want to waste yours. I will accept only friend requests from those who want to collaborate on any project.
