Richard Batton

Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time out to view my profile!  My name is Richard, and what I hope to benefit from this site is some great exposure and experience.  In addition, I want to build a good solid network of contacts such as photographers, models, wardrobe stylists, make-up artists, hair stylists, etc, that will help me to develop a strong portfolio and help get me in the right direction in the industry to where I want to be. I have been told I have the potential to be a great model and I believe that to be true!  I am very motivated, determined, reliable, and in addition, I am very professional and easy to work with! 

**I'm interested in any TFP or TFCD and any test shoots!!  I am also open to working with other models, including coed. 

I have a very open availability and I am always ready to shoot, so if interested, please don't hesitate to contact me! 

I am not interested in any nudes at this time! 

I'm very interested in high fashion, avant-garde, and runway!!  I'm a very cool, laid back, down to earth person with a very fun and outgoing personality and great sense of humor. Once you meet me, you will soon find that out! 
 
My two great passions in life are: modeling, art, and music.  I have always been a very creative person be it art, music, or in my style of dress.  I have a degree in Graphic Design, and I have always been very interested in the entertainment and media arts industry whether it be music, film, the arts, or fashion. My main focus right now is modeling, and I want to follow my dream to be a professional runway model to the very end! 

Since joining this site I have gained and developed a lot of experience from everything including but not limited to; photo shoots, runway shows, and even music video shoots. I am very professional and reliable, and willing and able to learn and take direction when needed.  My friends as well as other people whom I have met have all told me that I have a unique look, as well as a great personality that would fit me perfectly into the industry .

I'm 6'2" and very lean, with strong facial features and a bit of an edgy european type look, which I think would make me a great model!  My best features are my high cheek bones and my eyes.  I definitely do not look like your typical Southern California blonde hair, blue eyed surfer boy..LOL! 

I figure there is nothing in life not worth trying for, and I have nothing to lose, only to gain! The best way to contact me is to send me a message including your contact information.  I look forward to meeting and working with all of you.

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to working with you all soon!
               
Respectfully

-Richard R. Batton
