An interview excerpt from Modelwatch follows:
ModelWatch: What would you say to someone who is just about
to enter modeling, maybe like 15 or 16 old boys...what
should they expect from modeling?
Tyson Ballou: I would say stay in school and get an
education or try to do both if you can. Don't expect to make
a lot of money. Most don't make the kind of money you think
and if you do make it remember that this business changes
fast so don't blow it away
Tyson still models today, and have done runway shows in
London, Milan, Paris, Sao Paulo and New York. He lives in
New York city. |
