Create Talents Review by a Male Model YH S
In
this Create Talents and Models review
we look at our fit and muscular hunk, 28-year-old male model S Yang Heng, known
by screen name YH S. His testimonial was conducted in the company studio as well some outdoor shoot to add some fun element. His current
status as a part-time student studying at RMIT, hobbies of exercising and traveling
will come to you as no surprise when you look at his well-toned body,
modelesque features and some insightful advices on modeling. Anyone interested
in modeling has to listen to what he says!
YH
S was approached by the scouters from Create Talents and Models as he was walking along Orchard Road one night at
Somerset 313. The scouter gave him a name card and asked him if he was interested
in modeling. He agreed came down for an interview the next day, and joined the
firm subsequently.
When
asked about an exciting experience he had, he mentioned that there was one time
where he had to pair up with a girl whom he did not know at all, and the staff
in-charge of the project were from Hong Kong. He found that fun and that the
people were nice. He had to pretend to be a couple with the girl, so he had a
challenge of ‘breaking the ice’ quickly. It was important as it made the photo
look realistic and made it look like they were really in love and were a
couple. It took them both a few tries, but male
model believes it was executed well in the end, and everyone was happy and
pleased.
Yan
Heng’s favorite project was the Maggi Mee Hokkien Char Mee television advertisement. It was filmed during the
seventh month of the Hungry Ghost Festival, in the middle of nowhere, and at
night where it was pitch black and the crew had to use their own lamps and
lights. He remarks that the staffs were really spontaneous, encouraging, and
their sense of humor and jokes kept everyone comfortable and going. He liked working
with one of his co-actors, named Ian G, who also happened to a model from Create Talents and it was very fun. The
whole shoot took about eight hours but to him it felt like only a few minutes
had passed.
Model
also had good advice to give on what a model requires to succeed. He had two
main points, the first being confidence, and the second is being adaptable.
Confidence, as Yang Heng mentions, is when you have to portray yourself in the
image of what the photographer wants, and that’s where patience comes in as
well. Different people have different expectations, so a model would also have
to adapt quick to what is required on the spot, and not just stick with the
image you have in mind.
Embracing
uncertainty is also another notable characteristic of YH S who mentions he
likes the feeling of not knowing what’s coming next in life. He likes seeing
the different job opportunities he receives when he opens up the messages from
Create Talents. It’s a very different experience every time and he likes to be
able to prepare his best with the limited time given to him. He believes
working as such is more fulfilling and exciting rather than something that is
monotonous and boring.
When
speaking on why he likes working with Create
Talents, Yang Heng says that the agency has opened a lot of doors for him.
He has been to quite a number of model castings, and each one is different from the
next. So each one is also an experience and all of them have been fun. He looks
forward to learning more with our agency.
So
is modeling just about looks? Yang Heng doesn’t think so. He says it surely
takes personality and spontaneity. He advises aspiring models to take a leap of
faith because you never know what’s going to happen and you never know what
opportunities will come. If you take the leap of faith and gain the experience,
you might even be acting or shooting with Yang Heng next time, which he is
really looking forward to!
