Tell us a little about yourself such as where you are from, age, and for those who aren't familiar what agency you are currently signed with.....
I was born Alexander P Dominguez in Washington DC on December 4th, and have resided in Prince George's county Maryland for most of my life. I graduated from Frostburg State university with a degree in Criminal Justice. I come from a good traditional Filipino family, and I am presently represented by RED model management NY.
What was it and when was it that make you first take an interest in becoming a male model.....
I really had no intentions of becoming a male model before college, until a good friend of mine by the name of Azeb Argaw came up to me and asked to be in her small modeling troop, at Frostburg called "Visual Couture". I ended up doing it and discovering how much I really enjoyed modeling. Upon graduation I started working at the bank and became miserable, going in Monday-Friday 9-5 dealing with the rudest people. This prompted me to take some pictures with Randolph Garrett a skilled MD photographer , and send them out to agencies in NY. I received a response from RED, now here I am in NY chasing my dreams.
What would you say is the toughest thing about being in the modeling industry........
The toughest thing I would say is building your name. There are a lot of other great male models out there so building yourself/name, and making sure you keep up with your work is a full time job in it's self. Staying confident and focused is key to me.
Have you ever thought about branching out into acting or being on the other-side of the camera..
I am thinking about diving into acting soon, but I really want to establish my modeling career first. I am coming out with a tee shirt line with a couple homies( Cykeem White & Matthew Brown) of mine in the near future. It's going to be a dope way of getting our names out there because of the quality and images we are using.
As part of your regimen how do you maintain all that hair, and how do you keep your skin looking healthy........
Haha I knew this question was coming. I condition my hair about twice a week and use a hair oil when I brush it out. As for keeping my skin looking healthy I drink a lot of water and try to sweat a lot when I work out or go skateboarding
.
Describe your personal style, and any staple pieces you must have for the spring and summer months.........
Fashion wise I like the skater vibe and all black everything NY vibe a lot. That's always been my style since high school. I'm not a big collector on designer pieces, but I do love Givenchy a lot.
What artists are currently on your playlist........
I have Kendrick Lamar/ nirvana/ drake/ system of a down/big krit/ the weeknd/ schoolboy q/ kid cudi.. Literally lol
Who and what inspires you.....
My dad is the one who inspires me the most. He's a strong caring guy, and that's how I want to live my life as well. What inspires me the most is my love for this industry,the traveling, and experiencing other peoples cultures is another reason I decided to become a model.
Do you have any favorite designers you like wearing.......
GIVENCHY all the way. Other than that I like to wear a lot of designers clothes that I have worked with in the past street wear/ high fashion. I like to show love and I respect everyone trying to do their thing out here like I am. Ultimately I wear what I'm comfortable in or however I am feeling that day really.
If you weren't modeling what would Alex be doing........
Alex would be in South America on a farm /ranch with a beautiful girlfriend.
Name five things Alex cant go a day without......
IPhone/ portfolio/ bookbag/ shower/ dinner
What does it take from a model for the photographer to get that perfect shot......
Again I must state that confidence above all, and knowing how to pose is the key.
