This guy’s Twitter is private- article on him
“When I say 'street casting,' I mean not a signed model – someone that offers something an agency girl or boy couldn't. There are times when it's literally on the street [or] on the subway. Half the time, my phone's dead, I don't got a business card, I'm wearing something crazy. They're in Bushwick, they've been there their whole life, and they're like, 'What the fuck?' I get their Instagram and that's usually all I need. Then there's parties, but New York nightlife is like – I see the same fucking corny people every time I go out.
How do you approach finding models on Instagram?
I don't want an 'Instagram Girl' or an 'Instagram Boy.' That's the last thing I want. I want 31 followers, doesn't even know what the fuck Hood By Air is, or i-D Magazine. That's what I'm really trying to find. You have to get into wormholes. You click someone and click their friend's account and click their tagged photos. That's the swag I need. It's much more genuine, I think. They're separate from the world and that's what makes them interesting, [which is] the same reason I don't cast at parties.”
