Behind the Cover. Cover model Q&A.

Name: János Györke

Where are you from? I am a first generation American, but my family is from Hungary. I was raised in Milwaukee, Wi.

Where do you live currently? Atlanta, Georgia

Are you signed to a modelling agency? I am working with Boss in New York, Click in Atlanta, Bleu Model Management in Beverly Hills, and Percent Management in Miami.

How long have you been modelling? 14 Months

Why did you become a model? In the beginning I was starting to hang out with friends who are clothing designers and began to help them with different projects. These people are Duron Miller, Leida Hardmon, Beverly Calloway, Gigi and many others, all whom I met through various friends in the business. I donated my time with their shows, and started to fall in love with all these wonderful people and just enjoyed being around all these creative, inspirational, outgoing and very passionate driven individuals. After all of that, I decided this is what I wanted to spend my time doing.

What was your biggest paying job while modelling? That would probably be the M.A.C Cosmetic job I booked.

Who inspires you? I have a very simple answer for this, people. The people who I surround myself with really inspire me, from the fashion designers, photographers, make-up artists, stylists, art directors, and the other models. I also look through all the fashion magazines at local book stores, so that is a great way to get inspired as well… plus history, different cultures all inspire me tremendously.

 
What advice would you give to new models? First, you need to ask yourself… Why do I want to become a model? Is it to make lots of money? Do you want to become a model to pickup chicks or dudes? Do you want to become a model because everything is boring to you, or do you want to become a model because you love fashion, and always enjoyed being around like minded individuals, who are perfectionists at what they do, and just love what they do? Number one… always do something that will make you happy and you will enjoy. The best advice I can give those who are interested in becoming a model is, take peoples advice with a grain of salt… unless they have been in this business for a long time. First look online in your area for the major agencies, the well known clients pull models from these agencies. Most agencies have open calls, honestly… who cares… if you have what it takes, then you do not need to go to an open call. During regular business hours, just walk into the agency, dress in something comfortable like designer jeans and a well fitted shirt that really shows your body… this will tell the bookers you have a good physique. Next, when you are at the agency and you ask to see someone, just say "Hello, my name is… and I was just around the area… someone recommended that I stop by and see you guys." Now it is best, if you have a few professional pictures already, this will give the bookers an idea of how you photograph… but if you do not have any… do not worry. A booker will take some Polaroid pictures of you, should they be interested. Agencies work with many local photographers, so they may send you out to be tested by a photographer, this way you will have a few test shots to show clients. You will need excellent images for your portfolio book when you visit clients… Most agencies should have a list of superb photographers in the area whom you can pay to test you. Remember, your book is an investment… if you spend $500 on a test, and book a job for $2,000 it was well worth it… remember, you are only as good as your worst image. Word of advice: before you sign any contracts, visit the other agencies around you too… Do not always go with the first agency who might be interested in you… The most important thing is you are signed with an agency that loves you; they are excited about representing you and can actually get you work... Of course, there is never any guarantee. Ask the agency what clients they work with, and the types of jobs they have booked… this will give you a good idea on what they might be able to get you booked for. If for any reason the people at the agency are rude… unprofessional and treat you with no respect… just leave… if they treat their models unprofessionally… just imagine how they treat their clientele… Always be professional and respectful. As a model, you will need to be patient and always be on time for your castings. Give yourself an extra half hour to get some place, so you are always on time… and remember, just because all the other models are doing it… does not mean you should too. Be safe!

Boxers, Briefs or birthday suit? All 3 depending on my mood!!!

What is you ideal woman? Loving, Caring, Kind, Intelligent, Well Rounded, Sincere, Loyal, Passionate, Artistic, Goal Minded, Sexy, Romantic, Nurturing, Open Minded, and sweet!

Can you cook? I once was a cook.

Favourite food? Baked Chicken cooked over crème de crème oyster mushroom and portobello heavy crème sauce…

Democrat or Republican? Independent

Favorite Movie? The Green Mile

What do you do in your spare time? I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love spending time alone visiting different museums absorbing as much as I can about different cultures and learning about people's heritage. I also am working on a few business ventures that I am launching very shortly, one of them being all natural soaps. Pardon the shameless plug, these organic soaps will be available at www.janosbeauty.com.

What is something about you people would be surprised to know? One of my biggest passions lately has become gardening… I have a huge garden that is a good 100ft long by 12ft wide… and a few smaller ones… and there I grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs… probably around 30 different things…. It is so awarding to see a little seed the size of a grain of pepper or piece of rice grow into something big, nutritious, and delicious.
