Hamburg, 12 April 2020
Who are you (the long answer, no cheating by just giving your name!) and what is your profession (as in, how do you define it, rather than just the job title it has)?
My name is Valentin Humbroich, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Hamburg, Germany. I started modeling two years ago and I’m doing it as a full time job since I left school one year ago. For me modeling is not just about being ‘pretty’ but rather about getting into a different role for every shoot. Modeling has a lot of different kind of aspects and every set has its unique look and vibe that you have to adopt. Every shooting is a project by its own and a lot of different kind of people from all around the world come together and create something.
Who would you confine with?
My brother Laszlo. He is one year younger then me and if I wouldn’t have him during these times I would’ve probably already gone crazy.
What's your work-from-home style?
As a model there is not a lot of work which you can do from home. I had one online shooting and I’m doing some exercises do keep me fit.
Tell us something about yourself that isn't on your resume (a secret skill, a hobby, a previous job or fun fact about you).
Before I started modeling I worked at an ice cream store and I did an exchange year to Brazil for one year.
What's the first place you'd want to go when it's safe again to travel and go out?
I would love to go to New York again like I did last summer.
Who is in your fantasy Zoom party (Skype or FaceTime)?
One of my dead grand parents.
