How old were you when you began modeling?
This has always been a tricky question for me. I've always loved to take photos and be in front of the camera. In fact, I was crowned 'Most Photogenic' of my senior class. I guess a better question would be, how old was I when I started to take it serious? I'd have to go with age 22.
What do you feel has been your greatest accomplishments thus far?
My greatest accomplishments have definitely been telling a story through my photos. I always want people to feel the vibe that my pictures portray.

How was your first experience as a model?
My first time in front of the camera was a struggle. The process of finding my angles, how to stand, faces to make! It took time and a lot of confidence.
What are some of your do's and don'ts when preparing for a photo shoot?
Right before a shoot I try not to eat as much to keep from appearing bloated. I always have to make sure my skin is moisturized.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I see myself very established from the brand I've built. Brand being myself.
Where can people find you on social media?
You can always find me on Instagram @melvontae
