If you are a regular reader of FH you know that I am a big fan of model, actor and singer Nick Ayler. I try to keep up with Nicks work but that has been difficult lately as over the past several months Nick has been frantically busy putting all of his energy into continuing build and establish his career.
First up Nick has been been shooting new work with many of my favorite photographers. Hans Fahrmeyer, Michael A Downs, David Arnot as well as Richard Gerst and Rick Day who I have showcased below.
Besides being one of my favorite models, and one of the hottest, I wrote last month that other adjectives must be used when talking about Nick. Determined and focused would be at the top of that list. Nick has worked extremely hard to break into the business. Nick is at the gym 5 to 6 days a week for at least 3hrs. He also does not rely on his looks alone. Nick has worked hard to increase his skills in all areas that he pursues. Besides modelling, Nick is a talented musician, dancer and singer. Nick is also an actor and has several credits to his resume including working on 'Dear John' with Channing Tatum. Nick currently studies at the Stella Adler Acting Academy in NYC.
Equally serious about music, Nick has been a Deejay for close to 10 years now. Nick has a keen ear for music and rhythm. Nick has used these skills to produce two songs that he both wrote and sings on. You can listen to them both on Nick's Myspace Page HERE: I love both songs, but 'On The Dance Floor' is my favorite.
Nick tells me that because of his recent shoots, with Gerst and Day in particular, his exposure has been taken to a different level with offers coming in from Paris, Thailand, Rome, Australia, LA, Guam, and more. Nick is excited to see the end result of all his hard work this spring and summer. "I believe it will be my biggest season yet. I will be pursuing everything from TV Pilots, Commercials, Print work, Runway and much much more this coming season."
What is truly remarkable is that Nick has done so much of the work himself. Although Nick has tons of support, he has worked extremely hard to shape his career without the assistance of an agency or manager. Although Nick would be open to working with an agency or manager, they must have the same level of passion for success as he does. That could be a difficult task!
