UShawn Alexander Ingxoxo kaTom Peaks @MrPeaksNValleys
Imodeli uShawn Alexander yangibamba iso esikhathini esidlule. Izithombe zakhe zihlale zihlaba umxhwele! Ingqikithi yokukhanga ucansi!! Kodwa bengifuna ukwazi okwengeziwe ngale ndoda engaqondakali, ngaphandle nje kokuthi ibukeka ivusa inkanuko kangakanani igqoke izingubo zangaphansi. UShawn usanda kufakelwa omunye umuntu oseWest Coast oseneminyaka engaphezu kwemi-2 emodela. Uhlehlisiwe futhi kulula ukusebenza naye, ungumtholi omuhle. UShawn usezuze udumo olukhulu ngamahlumela ashisayo anabathwebuli bezithombe abanekhono abafana no-Armando Adajar noScott Hoover futhi, u-Shawn uvela encwadini yetafula lekhofi, “Provocation, Volume 1” kaKevin D Hoover. Ngakho-ke, ake sijwayelane noShawn:
Jabulela u-Shawn kulezi zithombe ezivela kuMqondisi Wokudala/umthwebuli wezithombe u-Thomas Avila kanye nomthwebuli wezithombe u-Julio Ramirez. UShawn ugqoke izingubo zangaphansi/zokubhukuda zikaMarcuse kanye nesikibha sikaRufskin.
Ake siqale ngezinto eziyisisekelo, uShawn. Iminyaka yobudala, ubude, izinwele/umbala wamehlo? Liyini idolobha lakho? Uhlala kuphi njengamanje? Ubani omele wena?
Ngineminyaka engu-27 ubudala, ngineminyaka engu-5’8”, nginezinwele ezi-blonde namehlo aluhlaza. Ngivela eBuffalo NY. Njengamanje ngihlala eSan Diego CA. Angimelwe muntu ngalesi sikhathi.
Ngakho-ke sitshele mayelana nokuthi wawunjani kanye nezintshisekelo zakho njengentsha yasesikoleni esiphakeme? Ingabe wake wacabanga ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi ngelinye ilanga uyoba imodeli wesilisa?
Esikoleni esiphakeme ngangihileleke kakhulu kwezemidlalo futhi isikhathi esiningi ngangichitha ngaphandle kwalokho ngizihlalele nabangane. Ngaleso sikhathi angikaze ngicabange nokumodela.
Ubukade usanda kuqhakaza sekwephuzile ekumodeleni, uqale eminyakeni emibili edlule kulo mkhakha. Ngakho-ke, gcwalisa izikhala, yiziphi ezinye izinto ozenze ngaphambi kokumodela?
Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme ngaya ekolishi futhi ngaphothula iziqu ze-B.A. kuSayensi Yezepolitiki. Ngemva kwekolishi ngathuthela e-NYC ngomsebenzi wami wamanje ngase ngiqala ukuthatha ijimu ngokujulile futhi ngemva kokubona imiphumela ethile ngaba nesithakazelo sokumodela.
Manje-ke, Shawn, yini noma ubani okugqugquzele ukuthi uqale ukumodela? Ungene kanjani ngokugqekeza ebhizinisini?
Ngaqala ukulandela ama-ejensi amodelayo, amamodeli nabathwebuli bezithombe ku-instagram nokuyilapho ugqozi lwavela khona. Ukudubula kwami kokuqala kwaba noKevin Hoover e-NYC, ngamthinta futhi wavuma ukwenza i-test shoot futhi kwaqala kanjalo.
Imodeli uShawn Alexander yangibamba iso esikhathini esidlule. Izithombe zakhe zihlale zihlaba umxhwele! Ingqikithi yokukhanga ucansi!! Kodwa bengifuna ukwazi okwengeziwe ngale ndoda engaqondakali, ngaphandle nje kokuthi ibukeka ivusa inkanuko kangakanani igqoke izingubo zangaphansi. UShawn usanda kufakelwa omunye umuntu oseWest Coast oseneminyaka engaphezu kwemi-2 emodela. Uhlehlisiwe futhi kulula ukusebenza naye, ungumtholi omuhle.
Sitshele mayelana nokushutha kwakho kokuqala. Yiziphi izinselelo ezinkulu ozikhumbulayo njenge-rookie?
Ukudubula kwami kokuqala kwaba noKevin Hoover e-NYC. Futhi uma kukhona okwaziyo ngomsebenzi kaKevin, nakanjani ucindezela imingcele kodwa uthwebula ifomu lesilisa ngendlela emangalisayo. Ngakho-ke akakaze athwetshulwe ngaphambi kokuba kube yi-nerve racking kodwa ungumfana omuhle ngokwedlulele futhi wenze yonke into yaba intofontofo kakhulu. Ngicabanga ukuthi inselele enkulu njenge-rookie ukwazi ama-engeli akho kanye nokuma komzimba nokunyakaza angisiza ngakho.
Ngo-2015, wathwetshulwa ebhishi nge-Ergowear futhi wadala izithombe ezidumile, usebenza no-Armando Adajar. Sitshele, Shawn, mayelana nendawo okushuthwe kuyo, uhlobo, nokuthi kunjani ukushutha no-Armando.
Indawo yokudubula yalelo hlumela yayiyinhle. Ngiyaluthanda ulwandle kangangokuthi ngokwemvelo ngaba nesikhathi esimnandi, futhi bekumnandi ukubona abahamba ngezinyawo ebhishi ekuseni nabantweza. Lesi yisithombe sesibili se-ergowear engisenze no-Armando. Uhlobo luyamangalisa. Ukudubula kokuqala kwakuyiqoqo lezingubo zangaphansi futhi okwakamuva kakhulu kwakuyiqoqo le-swimsuit kokubili engikugqoka njalo. U-Armando muhle ukusebenza naye. Uyakwazi azama ukukuthwebula futhi ukwenza kahle kakhulu. Ngihlale ngibheke ngabomvu ukusebenza naye kumaphrojekthi amasha.
Ngakho-ke, Shawn, izithombe zesithombe sakho sakamuva no-Thomas Avila no-Julio Ramirez ziyamangalisa. Sitshele mayelana nesithombe.
UThomas ufinyelele kimina ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ecela ukungidubula ngigqoke ingubo yangaphansi kanye ne-speedo evela ku-Marcuse. Ngiyaluthanda uhlobo, ngakho ngavuma ukukwenza. Ukudubula kwakusekuseni kakhulu ngolunye usuku ukuze kuphume ilanga phezulu kwebhilidi esalidubula edolobheni laseSan Diego. Uphahla lubheke inkundla ye-baseball yasePadres; kwakuyindawo enhle. Sabe sesidubula i-speedo ebhishi laseCoronado eSan Diego. UThomas noJulio babebahle ukusebenzisana nabo futhi izithombe zaphuma zizinhle futhi.
Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi uzijabulele izinyathelo eziningi endleleni eya lapho ukhona namuhla njengemodeli, kodwa sitshele ngezinkathi zakho EZIMBILI ongasoze wazikhohlwa kuze kube manje emsebenzini wakho.
Ukufakwa kumagazini we-DNA Magazine's Hottest Men Alive oshicilelo ngo-2014 nakanjani ngeke ulibaleke. Umngane wami ohlala e-Australia wangithumelela isithombe sekhasi kumagazini okuyindlela engathola ngayo ngayo. Ngiphinde ngathola ukuthi u-MMensual Mag wase-France wenze inhlolokhono no-Wander Aguiar futhi wafaka izithombe angishutha ngazo.
Kubaluleke kangakanani kuwe ukubona umkhiqizo wokugcina ngemuva kokuthatha izithombe? Wake waba nesithombe lapho imiphumela ikwenze wadangala? Ngokuphambene, yisiphi isithombe sakho ongasibeka e-Shawn Alexander Hall of Fame?
Ngingumgxeki wami omkhulu, ngingahle ngibuyele emuva ngibheke isithombe bese ngithi bekufanele ngenze lokhu noma ngishintshe lokho kodwa ekugcineni umkhiqizo wokugcina usekumthwebuli wezithombe futhi ufunde ukuhlala nawo. (Ngizonamathisela isithombe esivela kuhlu lokuhlola engenze ne-Wander).
Ngakho-ke, Shawn, wenze imodeli yezingubo zangaphansi eziningi kubathwebuli bezithombe nemikhiqizo eminingi. Kwenzeka kanjani lokho? Ingabe kuyakuxaka ukusebenza ngempahla yakho yangaphansi bese udalulwa? Akuwona yini umsebenzi omningi, ingasaphathwa ingcindezi, ukuba nomzimba ongenasici kanye nesikhumba esiphelele?
Nokho, ngenxa yobude bami ngikhawulelwe kancane kulokho engingakwenza, kusobala ukuthi ngeke ungibone ekuhambeni kwekati, ngakho ngaphendukela ohlangothini lwalo lokufaneleka olwagcina luphenduke lwaba ukumodela izingubo zangaphansi nezingubo zokubhukuda. Ekuqaleni nganginovalo oluncane ngenxa nje yokuthi ngangizikhandla kakhulu futhi ngangihlale ngifuna ukwenza kangcono futhi ngithuthukise umzimba wami kodwa manje ukuzibeka ngezingubo zangaphansi akungikhathazi, kodwa ngisagxeka okungiphushayo ukuthi ngiqhubeke nokuba ngcono.
Imodeli uShawn Alexander yangibamba iso esikhathini esidlule. Izithombe zakhe zihlale zihlaba umxhwele! Ingqikithi yokukhanga ucansi!! Kodwa bengifuna ukwazi okwengeziwe ngale ndoda engaqondakali, ngaphandle nje kokuthi ibukeka ivusa inkanuko kangakanani igqoke izingubo zangaphansi.

Uzithanda kanjani zonke lezi zinhlobo zezingubo zangaphansi lapho izikhwama zingalayishiwe? Lokho kubonakala kuwumkhuba wemfashini impela. Lezo zitayela zezingubo zangaphansi zikhululekile kakhulu. Okuncane okusebenzayo kodwa banesikhathi nendawo yabo.
Udubula ugqoke izinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene, angisoze ngakubuza intandokazi yakho. Nokho, yiziphi izitayela ozithanda kakhulu?
Ngincamela amazwibela.
Ekupheleni kuka-2014, uboniswe yi-DNA Magazine njengomunye wamadoda ashisayo kakhulu aphilayo. Wazizwa kanjani lokho? Ingabe lokho kukufake ingcindezi enkulu ngo-2015...ingabe ufuna i-People Magazine's Hottest Man Alive ngokulandelayo? ☺?
Ngingumuntu onesizotha kakhulu futhi ozithobile, kuzohlala kukhona umuntu obukeka kangcono, onezinwele ezingcono, umzimba ongcono njll. Ngajabula kakhulu ngokuvela kuleyo nguqulo futhi ngihlala ngibonga ngazo zonke izici ze-DNA engibe nazo. kodwa angiyivumeli into enjalo ukuthi ingicindezele. Ngiyazi ukuthi kuhlala kunethuba lokuthuthuka futhi ngimane ngiqhubeke nokuzama nokwenza ngcono mina ngokwami hhayi omunye umuntu. Kodwa, ngethemba ukuthi uzobona esinye isici se-DNA sohlobo oluthile esikhathini esizayo;).
Ubuphinde waba ngumfana wekhalenda ngo-2015. Ucele inhlangano esiza abantulayo, i-FCKH8, futhi wasebenza njengemodeli yekhava kanye nemodeli yesici. Sitshele ngale phrojekthi.
Bekumnandi kakhulu lokhu. U-Justin Frost ungumthwebuli wezithombe omuhle kakhulu ongasebenza naye. Ukungena kuyo ngangingazi ukuthi ngizoba sekhava. Futhi uma kukhona okwaziyo ngomsebenzi kaJustin akaphoxi, izingubo ezincane kakhulu nezigcawu ezivusa inkanuko ezithwetshulwe kahle. Kuyafaneleka ngempela ukuhlola futhi ngesizathu esihle. Futhi ungase ukwazi ukubona impango yami ngenyanga eyodwa noma ezimbili!
Obani abanye abathwebuli bezithombe ongathanda ukubaveza usuku olulodwa? Obani amamodeli wesilisa akukhuthazayo?
Lolu hlu alupheli; U-Rick Day no-Thomas Synnamon bangabathwebuli bezithombe ababili engingathanda ukusebenza nabo. Amamodeli afana no-Andreas Eriksen, uNick Bateman, uBarrett Pall, uBryant Wood kanye nohlu luyaqhubeka...
Ngaphandle kobuso obuhle, unempango emangalisayo ☺! Ngiyazi ukuthi angiqali ukukutshela lokho! Iyini imfihlo yakho yokuthola ingemuva elimise kahle?
Eqinisweni, kuwufuzo. Ngisho ukuthi ngenza ama-squats ejimini kodwa ngalimala emhlane futhi angikwazi ukwenza isisindo esiningi njengoba ngangivame ukwenza, ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi nginenhlanhla.
Sitshele ngesitayela sakho semfashini, uShawn.
Angazi noma nginesitayela esithile. Ngithanda ukunamathela kwabamnyama, abamhlophe nabampunga, kodwa ngokuvamile uzongithola ngigqoke amajini nesikibha noma i-tank top. Kwesinye isikhathi ngizoyigqokisa nge-blazer noma inkinobho kuye ngomcimbi. Engiya kuzo ngethi All Saints, Zara kanye neTop Man.
Ukumodela kanye nemboni ngokwayo ingumhlaba oyingqayizivele. Kungaziphi izindlela, ucabanga ukuthi iguqule indlela obuka ngayo abantu nomhlaba?
Angicabangi ukuthi ukumodela kuyishintshile indlela engibuka ngayo abantu noma umhlaba. Ngicabanga ukuthi ngenxa yokuthi ngikuthatha njengento yokuzilibazisa, ngivele ngijabule ngakho futhi ngizame ukwenza umkhiqizo ongcono kakhulu engingakwazi.
Ngakho-ke uma ungamodeli, wenzani ngomsebenzi nokudlala?
Ngiyakujabulela ukuphuma ngiyozijabulisa nabangane, kodwa ngiyathanda ukuhlala ngibukele amamuvi. Ngithanda ukuhlala ngimatasa nokuba ngaphandle noma ngabe ngiya olwandle noma uhambo oluhle. Ngokusobala ngifika ejimini kaningi ngangokunokwenzeka.
Yini abalandeli abangamangala ukuyifunda ngawe?
Ngike ngatshelwa ukuthi abantu banomuzwa wokuthi ngiyisidomu kodwa bayamangala ukuthola ukuthi ngiyinsizwa elungile emehlweni.
Pho ucabanga ukuthi kungani abalandeli banalowo mbono ngawe?
Ngicabanga ukuthi umbono jikelele abantu abawuthola kumamodeli. Ngiphinde ngacabanga into efanayo ngamanye amamodeli, kodwa lapho ngihlangana nawo, mahle kakhulu. Ngicabanga nje ukuthi kuyinhlamba ukuthi abantu bacabanga ukuthi ‘uyathandeka futhi uyamodela, ngakho-ke kufanele abambelele.
