Richie Wright is an extraordinary discovery by the prolific Simon Barnes of Hotsnapz Photography and it’s such a privilege to feature this new face on MFM! Get to know more of Richie from his answers below and for those on Facebook (which is everyone), you can add him on there under his Official Profile.

Is this your first photo shoot, ever? 

Yes, this is actually one of my first official photoshoots.

What was your experience doing the shoot with Simon?

It was great and I learned a lot from him on diet, the industry and life in general. Of course, he gave a me a lot of awesome advice on the modeling front. He is a great guy and one of the best photographers I’ve worked with.

How did you get into modeling? 

I first built my body up by good techniques in training and diet. Once I’ve seen results, I knew I wanted to make my family proud and myself, so I had a portfolio taken and I was quite happy with my work. However, I wanted to push further and achieve better results in my body and modeling. I then had another shoot taken and I was getting better! It wasn’t until in December, when I met photographer Lee Henshaw where I’ve seen some really powerful images and still wanted more! I then got signed with D.K. Models from Sheffield and got a chance to shoot with Simon Barnes where I knew this would test if I was good enough to break into fitness.

What expectations do you have venturing into this type of career?

I want to meet every great person I can and achieve everything that is thrown me at me. I want to be in magazines, get sponored and learn everything I can. I want to get my name out there and live my dream while helping others everyday. I want to wake up and feel I have achieved something everyday and have been the best I can in what I love doing.What makes this world (i.e., fitness industry) awesome is it keeps you guessing everyday and inspires many to believe and achieve!

Where do you want your modeling career to be at a year from now?

I want to get signed with as many agencies as I can and pick-up  a sponsor. I want to meet great people and travel all over the world. My goal is to make my name seen and improve every time I shoot.
