Why? I launched my blog so early, I want nothing more then to change my situations that I have put myself in becoming A greater me. I would like to say that in meeting a particular person that has started his own independent online television network, acts, models, and who is just an over all creative person had a little something to do with the blog being launched early. I was so inspired by their work ethic that I placed their logo on my blog wanting to surprise them. They showed me that going after your dreams is better than working a part time job for the rest of your life. (Not that I didn't know that, but Just someone living their dreams made me want to be like "See MOM I TOLD YOU!")Now I am not saying that others do not inspire me because let's face my whole Circle of friends inspire me. However this one person just stood out to me. Richard Nwaoko of Rich Chill TV is truly a genuine and humble person. Mr. Rich Chill is Ambitious, Charming, Successful, and has reached for the stars doing things that I believe are what sets him apart from a lot of others in this business. I have to say he is going to be very Successful. I believe that everything happens for reasons and god puts people in your life because of that phrase.
"If you surround yourself with toxic people that Negative things will keep happening to you, but if you surround yourself with more positive people than more positive things will happen."
Let the readers know who
is Richard Nwaoko?
I’m just a chill guy
that aspires to inspire others to do more, be more.
What made you get into
acting and producing your own online TV network?
It’s not a lot of
black entertainers in the entertainment industry. I always wanted to be an
actor in the hopes of one day having my own show like Will Smith starring in “The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, and Martin Lawrence starring in the 90s hit
television series “Martin”. Instead of me waiting for the opportunity, I simply
made the decision to create my own paradise so I started self-producing my
content. RichChillTV serves as a
springboard for independent artists like myself in allowing them to showcase their
talents for the world to see.
What are your
inspirations?
A lot of things
inspire me; people and life inspire me. Black
entertainers such as Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Steve Harvey,
Will Smith, Idris Elba, and Tyler Perry all have contributed so much to the
field of entertainment. All of their stories detailing how they made it to
where they are encourages me to dream bigger and work hard. Before Tyler Perry
became Madea, he used to live in his car. He took the initiative to showcase
his talents to the world and the world, in turn, took notice. With RichChillTV,
I plan to give hope to the independent artists out there. The talents I work with are so talented that
it would be an utter travesty if the world doesn’t get a chance to experience
what they have to offer. I have built an
atmosphere through my network where they can simply enjoy the art of what they
do. I realized a long time ago that the
key to greatness is to feel good about what you do. Once that is achieved, passion grows like an
unquenchable flame that not even the most elite firefighter can put out. With
the shift of new media, I hope to continue the legacy “the great ones” (Martin,
Chris Rock, etc.) have started. Even the new media entertainers such as Andre
Bachelor aka KingBach and DeshawnRaw use YouTube as platform to build a fan
base. I hope RichChillTV will do the same with upcoming entertainers.
What's the back story of
Rich Chill? How did you come up with
that?
I
didn’t; the people
did. Everyone called me Rich Chill-I
know; how original- instead of Richard for as long as I can remember.
The Rich part was to make it easier to get my
attention like how a friend calls his buddy “TJ” assuming his buddy’s
first and
middle name is Timothy James respectively. The completion of my persona
as
“Rich Chill” came later in college. I acquired that nickname by the
students on
my campus (Fairleigh Dickinson University).
“Chill” is my favorite word most would say. Maybe it’s because I say
the word a lot. Those who know me would say that this is a
serious understatement. When I deejayed on campus, I danced to the
music I played, and everyone would shout out, “Chill, Rich Chill”. If
they wanted me to stop, they would then
say, “Rich chill”, but I couldn’t stop doing what I love to do, which is
to entertain.
I’m just a chill dude with no chill button. J
Being that Black Action is
set to air on Jan. 28 can you tell us at Model Savings a little bit about Black
Action and your vision for it?
Well, growing up in an
urban community, I saw my peers get distracted from accomplishing their goals.
So, with this web series I want to teach my audience that if they focus on the
task at hand he/she can accomplish anything. The way I want to convey my
message is in the form of entertainment (Black Action). Black people taking
action on their goals
Seeing you’re 23 and doing
your dreams at a young age what advice can you give others to pursue their
dreams?
Have faith in yourself
and keep it simple. Also, follow your
heart because that is the blueprint to your success. The more you listen to it, the more clarity
you’ll gain of who you are.
What can we expect from
you in the future? Where do you see yourself in 2-5 years from now?
I see myself having my own
sitcom, and my network being a platform for independent artists to showcase
their talents to the world.
I can not wait to see what other amazing things that Rich has in store for the year and maybe get to work on some of these projects with him as well. You can Definitely say he is inspiration, A handsome Catch and just a overall successful person.

I dont know, but I am really good at Marketing Instagram, I have helped other with theres. He tells me go to school; so I say well I will go to school online.However he goes back on the idea of investing in yourself which I completely agree with. But what if I dont want go to go back to school, most of the people that I have admired, never went to school and got there degrees and they are doing just fine. I am sitting her doing Research on this Blogging stuff saying to myself I am not HAPPY with how my current Blog template looks, Printing a those pages from http://heartifb.com/ because I want to LEARN MORE. I am saying how I come up with Advertising Packages do I sell Ads now. Like how often do I post? Everything is new to me. This thing called BLOGGING is NEW to ME! Which is not a bad thing I am learning but who can I talk and get advice from when it comes to this because I am new blogger. It gets to me, and I wonder if I will be accepted. My blog has this whole purpose of helping others not just models or anyone in the fashion business but regular people, because I am going through my struggles, and I am trying my hardest to get out of my struggles. This blog is to help people get through their everyday and hope and SAVE little bit of money in the process. I wrote to much but I just had to write!
If you have any advice or feed back you can give me on anything that I just said that would be forever apperiated.

Hi, my name
is Andrea Pascalau from Corsei Photography.
I am so honored to contribute to this wonderful blog that will definitely help
models get organized and get through their daily lives as they try to pursue
their dreams and passions!

To start let me tell you a little about me.
I currently live in Chicago, born and raised. I do love this city very much, even though I see my future in New York!
I currently live in Chicago, born and raised. I do love this city very much, even though I see my future in New York!
I am a fashion and beauty photographer and I work with model's on their portfolio's development. I currently work with adult female models and children models.
I began
photography just a year and a half ago and I have been doing retouching for a
bit over half a year now. I always loved art, in all forms, music, painting, plus
more but the strongest love is photography.
I found my passion in a dark place in my life. I struggled through a tough
relationship and was not happy with what I was doing at the job I had.
I was
good at it and I worked hard, but I knew that I wanted to work for myself.
I
thought about pursuing a singing career but I will be honest, I don’t have the
confidence to be in front of a crowd of 2 or more people, so clearly that was
not the route for me. I always painted at home when I had the time but that
still didn’t feel like it was going to become my career.
Well my father had a Nikon camera that I loved to play with, whenever family
was getting together, I wanted to shoot, I was the one to grab the camera and
capture everything I possibly could. When I got to share those moments and see how happy it made my family, I began
wondering about photography.
![]() |
| Model: Berkeley Clayborne Concept / H&MUA: Yvonne Wallace |
So with no hesitation, I jumped in full force, with nothing holding me back except my full time job, I purchased my first camera and lens. It was scary investing
into equipment with no assurance of success but it felt right. I started off
with my own family doing little jobs, and progressed to
co-workers families and Christmas sessions and babies, events and parties… And
although I was making people happy with their photos, it still didn’t feel 100%
right.
As I was going through these sessions, I started to “advertise” on craigslist
offering photos and searched for people to shoot with. I came across my first
models (Berkeley along with her siblings and another model, Lauren).
That’s when it began, the passion to work with subjects who would express the emotions I wanted in my images. I started searching model mayhem, with a large fear of never getting anyone to work with me, even on trade projects but I met amazing people who helped me progress and grow. The list is too long for me to really name each individual who has been part of my career this far but I am so thankful for them.

The list is too long for me to really name each individual who has been part of my career this far but I am so thankful for them.
I struggled along the way and I continue to struggle with different things,
studio lighting, difficult models, people who flake on a shoot, never thinking
I am good enough, all sorts of moments in my own work that I may not be happy
about but I keep working and every time I fail I find the desire to push myself
to do better. And with the wonderful people who surround me and the fans that
follow my work and encourage me every day, it only makes me fall in love with
photography even more.
So really I just want to encourage you, when you have a passion or desire for something (and this applies to everyone), just go for it! Follow your passion, because should you fail, you will never have to wonder, What if I had tried...
Through the last year or so I have learned some great things I would love to suggest to you as a model.
1. Just cause it's trade work, don’t sell yourself short. Be selective with who you work with. Just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s good. Trade work should be beneficial to you. Learn the insides of the type of modeling career you pursue. The retouching and lighting is very important too. You need to build your portfolio with work that is strong, not large. Quality over quantity! I am rarely interested in working with models whose portfolios are weak, unless I see a strong potential in the model as an individual so why not make it easier for the photographer or other artist to select you.
2. Paid work. I would say some of the same things apply as in trade work. Be careful what you are doing for pay. You have to keep in mind, those are images that will forever be out there so you want to make sure they will not bring you down or even worse ruin your career. Respect yourself as an artist. We are all different artists with different taste. You would never go buy something you didn’t like so don’t sell yourself to someone who won’t respect your talent or look.

3. Study up
on the photographer you will work with. Make sure you are always putting
yourself in a safe situation. If you are not comfortable going alone, you are
probably right so bring a friend, and let someone else know where you will be.
I can’t stress this enough how important safety is at all times!
Yes some photographers prefer that you do not bring someone, and sometimes that’s because they don’t want that “friend” to be a distraction during the shoot (but that’s not true in all cases). So make sure you advise the friend you are bringing not to bother you and make sure the photographer you will work with is aware as well. Your safety is most important, so if they don’t understand that, then there is a larger hidden issue.

Your safety is most important, so if they don’t understand that, then there is a larger hidden issue.
4. Respect
the people you work with. I can’t say how many times a makeup artist, hair
stylist, model, photographer, etc. has destroyed their reputation because they
are careless or flake on others. Be honest with yourself as well as the people
you plan to work with. Respect their time and effort for what they do. Because
when you don’t respect them, you don’t respect yourself.
5. Prepare
for your shoot, even if everything will be provided. Bring your basics: black
heels, nude heels, jeans, tank tops, nude and black strapless bras, your
foundation, lip gloss, mascara, blush, etc. So that in a worst case scenario
you’ll have something prepared if someone / something falls through. Make sure
your nails are always clean, manicured (nude or clear polish). I hate having to
photo shop nails that are chipped or the wrong color for my project. And keep
your eyes fresh because correcting redness or bloodshot eyes are a waste of
time and if it can be prevented on your end, then you should be doing so.
6. Take care
of your body. I can’t say I am the best at taking care of myself, but when you
are the subject, when you are the selling point in the image, you have to look
your best. Care for your skin as this also gives your photographer / makeup
artist / retoucher less work. And of course when you eat and drink healthy,
besides looking great, you will feel great. I don’t care what anyone says about
modeling, it’s a career that is a very demanding, especially for those of you
who have other jobs on top of it or going to school.

7. Keep your
ideas organized. Whether it’s a journal or Pinterest or another social media
format, keep your ideas together. Posing, images you want to recreate, images
that inspire you, models you look up to, and so on, keep track of these things
because there will be times you will wish you could remember that one thing but
have no idea what you did with it.
8. Update and refresh your portfolio. You always,
always need fully body and head shots. This is the most common requested type
of image from other artists, agencies, or possible employers. Variety is great
as well, beauty, high fashion, lifestyle and so on. Just know the type of
modeling you want to do and stick to building that type of portfolio with an
extension of some different styles, because as I market myself as specific type
of photographer, you market yourself as a certain type of model.
9. You Better WORK! As Britney says it in one of her latest songs, you can’t expect for things to fall in your lap, you have to work for what you want. Whether it’s going to castings, researching for jobs in your area, social networking, you have to work! Yea some people get to go far by doing almost nothing, but those are few and rare cases. Don’t sit on the hopes that you will be one of those. Trust me when you work for something, the reward will not only feel greater but it will be BIG.

10. Fail. It
sounds scary but you can’t be afraid to fail. Failure is part of what makes a
person. We grow because of it. I see that most people have become even more
successful after a failure or obstacle. These are just challenges, they won’t
ruin you, they are just something we have to work over and push through. They
will only make the end result even sweeter.
I look forward to hearing from any of you, if you are looking for advice or hey, maybe you need a photographer... I’m here! :)
