UNB Kyle:   What was your first modeling gig and how did you come to get it?

Nathan:  My first modeling gig was in 2009. I modeled for a bar that I was working at. Afterwards, the photographer asked me if I would come back and work with him on some projects he had. I went back to work with him and the rest was history.

Kyle:  Sounds like you were in the right place at the right time with that job.  What made you want to pursue modeling?

Nathan:  I had always wanted to pursue modeling since I was a little child. I would see the ads for designers and I knew I wanted to be like models in the clothes.

Kyle:  Which shoot do you consider your breakthrough in your career?

Nathan:  I consider my breakthrough shoot, was my first photo shoot in 2009. I consider this my breakthrough because after that shoot I was asked to come back for some projects and that lead me to flying to Orlando for a shoot and runway and then to San Diego to shoot and the snow ball keeps rolling from there.

Kyle:  It’s great that that first shoot has had such an impact on your career and will be one you never forget.  Which shoot has been your favorite? Why?

Nathan:  My favorite shoot was back in 2010. I was on the beach in San Diego. What more is there to love than shooting on the beach.

Kyle:  Very true!  I am sure it was torture!  Which shoot has been your most challenging? Why?1688938_10152364069226491_6829431375471912057_n

Nathan:  My most challenging shoot was earlier this year. I did a photo shoot with a few dead octopi. The smell was awful, they were cold and slimy and I was barely clothed with them on me. It was a love/hate shoot. Loved the creativity it involved but hated the smell.

Kyle:  I can imagine.  Probably not what you thought you would be modeling with but a great picture was the outcome.  Are there any brands or photographers you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

Nathan:  YES!! I would love to work with Armani, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana. Some of my favorite photographers that I would love to work with is Nigel Barker or Angelo Sgambati.

Kyle:  What is something that your fans don’t know about you outside of modeling that you want them to know?

Nathan:  I actually have a degree in Chemistry with a concentration in Biochemistry. I also spend the summer of 2012 exploring China. Ni hao!

Kyle:  That is a very impressive degree.  What kind of diet and exercise do you do to prepare for shoots?

Nathan:  If I have to show abs, then I go vegan for a week before the shoot. It cuts out all excess lower pooch. No drinking and lots of rest.
