Ryan talks to Ana about the start of his modelling career, favourite cities and staying fit.
How were you discovered?
I was discovered in the process of taking a family Christmas photo.
Which cities do you spend the most time in?
New York is where you can always find me [laughs], although after spending some time in Sydney, I am sure I will come back to Australia. Nothing can beat the warm weather and the amazing surf.
You are modelling for a few seasons, what have you learnt from the modeling industry thus far?
I believe the overall experiences as well as the opportunities coming along the way allow you to grow as a person in many ways.
What are you up to these days besides modeling?
I’ve been taking online classes currently at The Fashion Institute of Technology. I am slowly building a business plan to start my own surf inspired company, hopefully soon.
So, did becoming a model change your life in any way?
In some ways yes. I’ve met some amazing people throughout this journey and got to see places that I would have never seen at this age.
If you weren’t a model what would you be?
An entrepreneur, working hard on creating my own path!
Your dream modeling job?
Would love to work for Burberry.
Who’s your favorite model?
Hmmm, I would have to say Cindy Mello!
What are your essential for recharging your batteries?
A goods night sleep along with a lot of hydration. Some time laying in the sun won’t hurt you either!
What exercise do you do to get your body sculpted?
I don’t have any specific exercises. I am a very active person, always surfing and skating. When I go to the gym I do lots of body weight workouts.
Whats the best exercise to get a six pack?
It’s all about what you put into your body. When it comes to the workout I do the basics; crunches, planks, and sit-ups.
What’s the weirdest comment or question you’ve received via social media?
Couldn’t tell ya! [laughs]
Your personal passion or hidden talents?
Easy to say I have a strong passion for surfing and anything Ocean related. But I also do love playing the acoustic guitar.
