Fresh Faces: Exclusive interview with model Ashley Duvernay

When I spotted Ashley Duvernay’s portfolio online, I couldn’t wait to interview him. This newcomer’s photos are that of a seasoned professional..his exotic looks eye catching.  His ethnicity is a mix of  French, Puerto Rican, German and Black…he has brains too..he studied engineering in college! Ashley is a New York native , but has spent the last 6 years in Atlanta. A photographer flew him to Los Angeles to shoot some stuff for his portfolio, and the rest is history.  He loved the experience so much, he decided to stay.  He’s been in L.A since January 2010 and is signed to Photogenics Media . He is definitely on his way to the top!  Check out the interview and more PICS after the break!

Trin: How long have you been modeling and how did you get started?

Ashley: Modeling is something that always gravitated to me regardless of how much I tried ignoring the idea. Not to sound cocky, thats not what im getting at, its just that my mom always wanted it for my sister and I.. but it wasn’t until I was an “adult” that i thought of pursuing it as my future. I’ve modeled on and off and professionally since I was 19.

Trin: What do you like/dislike about the industry?

Ashley: I love the attention, the affection, being pampered and groomed. Its amusing to have to get into character and capture the look desired. What I dont like about is the titles. I hate saying “uh yea, im a model…”. I’d rather introduce myself as a writer, musician, or just Ashley.
