Hey I'm Louis, I'm sixteen but I'll be seventeen August 18th. I don't call myself a model because that's not really what I am, I just like posing for pictures occasionally. That whole title situation puts me in a box and I want to do much more than just model. I'll do it if the opportunity arises and it works out, I can't really go out of my way to do it. I don't live in the city so most of the shoots I go to are heinous to set up, super complicated and costs a little. It's fun though and I'm grateful to get the opportunity to do some of the projects I've been able to do. Foremost, I make my art and like expressing myself. I think an important part of me growing up was my involvement in social media. It's such a great outlet for self expression and also to give people an opportunity to see things they may not see in their everyday life. It opens a lot of doors and enables a lot of people growing up to figure out aspects of who they are even if they're not exposed to it. I live in rural New York and it's beautiful and scenic and definitely secluded. I'd imagine it would be a nice place to vacation but I wouldn't know because it's where I live and it's what I'm used to. Obviously, in any small town there is an extreme deficit in diversity. I don't resonate much with the norms and standards to where I'm from, but I appreciate it nonetheless. I've been given the opportunity to be around ignorance (not to say everyone where I'm from is ignorant) and learn how to effectively deal with dissent between other people. I guess if you look for positivity you could find it in anything. I think what I'd really love to do in my future is of course be happy but also work as a creative director for fashion photo-shoots or maybe an opportunity at a job at Calvin Klein, I love Calvin Klein. I draw a lot of my inspiration from the group CK One ads with Kate Moss and Jenny Shimizu, or the banned jeans ad. I hope to find a way in the future to incorporate my art with fashion in a some type of way. But in the near distant future I have to go to college, but that will get me into the city and make the whole come up easier. I like living my life one day at a time and not really stressing about the future though, so we'll see what happens
