IN CONVERSATION: MAXWELL RUNKO

Name|Maxwell Runko

Age|17

Hometown|Montpelier, Virginia

How did you get discovered?

I'm a amateur photographer. I send in some pics to a local agency in Richmond, it just so happen I had self portraits of myself in my photography portfolio, that's how this modeling career all began...

What were you doing prior to modeling?

School, making art and hanging out with my creative circle of friends

People would be surprised to know that I...

have a twin brother (1 minute apart, but quite different from me), he is into sports and I am into the arts!

What's your latest obsession?

House and dub music

Your most prize possession?

My Pentax K7000

Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?

Superman duh!

When is the last time you said "I Love You" to someone?

A couple of weeks ago...

Your favorite place you have travel to

Out west (Grand Canyon and Yellowstone)

Your favorite scene from a film

Leon The Professional—Love Natalie Portman!

Describe your personal style

Relaxed, thrifted and a clean look

Your favorite sport or sports figure

Sport: Tennis

Player: Roger Federer

If there's a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your native country/city or town, what would you recommend?

Montpelier, Virginia—All the thrift stores (Diversity thrift/Goodwill/Rumors Thrift Boutique) because they have killer clothes for bargain basement prices!

Your favorite song/artist

Any dub, house, electronic music, really! If I have to choose, try Excision and Datsik!

Your greatest moment in modeling so far...for you

Being sign to Major (Never thought I was model material) and optioned for Jil Sander for Milan!
