Tyler Moore
The beauty of life is to be happy with yourself both inside and out. To not worry what people think of you.
BIOGRAPHY
ABOUT me
Hi, I'm Tyler Justin Richard's Moore
I'm a fashion model, and I bar tend part time in my downtime so you'll never catch me idling. I like to make myself busy and productive, to the point where I get so caught up with what I'm doing in the moment I don't realized what is happening around me.
I am a model, dancer, choreographer and young actor. For me, art thrives in the spirit of one who exceeds the imagination of others.
I started my modelling career at twelve years old. I was in sport study in my village and my sponsor called me to see if I would try sportswear. "Have you ever thought of becoming a model?" I looked at them saying no, and at the same time I felt my mother was before me. And so I started my modeling career for sport 2000 and different french brands such as Lacoste and Adidas.
The cover of the book does not tell its story.
My story so far…
My career in modelling has not been handed to me on a silver platter. Coming from Congo at the age of two, I have experienced many hardships in life. I have lived on the street and had to pick myself up. I have gone from having nothing to successfully working as a dance teacher and interior designer. I've tried my luck in several different fields and realised that with the support of family and friends, anything is possible. My passion for life drives me to be better than yesterday and evolve even when the odds are against me. It motivates me to get out of my comfort zone and take risks. I have learnt so much working as a model/actor/dance teacher/designer. It is not possible to get every job you want, but you must never lose motivation because of that. I have learnt that patience is key, but also to take charge, work for what you want and get things done. Sitting and waiting gets you nowhere, you have to move forward with your heart, your ambition, your own goals, and believe in yourself...
My projects…
I've successfully completed many assignments since I was signed as a model. I learnt quickly to adapt and to always give the best of myself. I remember one particular casting in London that made me think I was not supposed to be there – surrounded by beautiful people, I was the only goofy looking one in the bunch!
The most memorable shoot for me was the one I did with Stylo. He spotted me in Antwerp and the very next day I was shooting for a watch brand. I have my favourites of course, but I'm proud of them all. I’ve worked for Pierre Cardin, been part of a Hugo Boss Campaign, Diesel Underwear France /Jeans campaign, and Serge Lutens for a perfume creator. I have also modelled for french magazine Mercedes Bruxelles. I have the honour and also the luck to work with talented photographers and I can adapt well to my surroundings. I'm easy to work with, comfortable in front of the camera and able to expose my feelings, embody a character and be the person that people are waiting for at any moment. At the same time, I have never let modelling get to my head - I'm still the same kid from Africa!
My vision…
Life can be whatever you want it to be as long as you're true to yourself and confident in your abilities.
My vision for myself is to work hard, take every opportunity I’m given and be successful. I want a good foundation to support my family. Success to me is having the feeling of coming home knowing you’ve made the best out of every minute of the day and not wasted it. I want people to remember me as a genuine person; what you see is what you get, I won’t try and be something I'm not. I have so much to offer, to give, and to learn. I'll be content when I know I've done everything I can, to the best of my ability.
I eventually want to start an orphanage in memory of my adoptive father who died.
I push forward to realize my dreams.
I hope to leave at least one good impression for the next generation.
Furthermore…
Other than my close friends and family, few people really know me. I love life in its simplest form, I appreciate the little things. A good movie on TV, a glass of sparkling ice tea and a good cake next to a log fire in the mountains in charming company, and I am the happiest man in the world.
I hope to become like my superhero, my adoptive father.
Life cannot be taken for granted.
