I was selected to be one of the models for GUNZE (kind of like the ‘Hanes’ of Asia) and had the shoot last Friday. It was fun. We did two group shots, and everyone, including the photographer was really friendly and genki. (energetic, positive).
Aside from myself ( 6”1’ American) there was a 6’2” half-Japanese German guy, a 6’ Russian girl, a 6’ 5” Hungarian guy , and a 5’ 10” Kiwi. For once in my life here, I was simply average height.
The German guy and the Russian girl were both contract models (I’m freelance) so aside from the usual international topics,we also had some interesting conversation about the differences between contract and freelance modeling. The german guy told me a funny story about a friend of his who got a 3 month, $30,000 modeling contract, and then blew the deal 2 days before his contract finished cuz he got caught trying to steal a beer from a convenience store when he was drunk. (Commiting any kind of crime in the country you are working in breaches the contract) Sucks to be him.
