Model: Michael Ward bka Darion Tariq Country of Origin: United States Country of Residence: United States Profession: Actor/Dancer/Model Goals: I have a ton of goals I would love to accomplish in life, before I transition to the heavenly place. Some of my short-term goals this year would include finally moving to a bigger market such as Atlanta, find acting roles that allow me to spread my wings but challenge me, and most importantly find an agency to represent me in the fashion and commercial areas. In the long term, I've always wanted to build a home for molested or sexually abused children/teens and moving into more HIV/STD education in the African American community. Interests: Traveling and exploring this place we call home. I absolutely love music. Every genre, every type of sound, any music! On my days off and the weekends, I rummage through my vinyl collection and put something on the turntables. Fashion is also a really big interest for me. Piecing different types of fabrics and looks to complete an overall look amazes me. Spoken word poetry is calming and relaxing as well. Recently, I have also gotten into assisting photographers on shoots and living out modeling behind the lens. Hobbies:
Collecting Vinyl, Vintage Fashion Shopping, Quiet time in the Photographer(s): Herb Ritts inspires me. He is one of the first photographers that convinced me photography is an art. Every photograph I see amazes me. I cannot stop talking about Steven Klein; he has been on my lips lately. Mario Testino is a legend in the fashion world. Fred Goudon, Ricc Rollins, Matthew Jordan Smith, Tim Ricks, Kurt Brown, Karl Simone... so many! |
