About Me

Hello, my name is Leon Woney, I was born in the city of Manhattan then in eighth grade my family and I moved upstate for a little over five years, then I came back to Manhattan after getting my Associates in psychology and still working towards my Bachelors. When I was thirteen a family friend who was a photographer asked if I would be interested in taking part of a duo photo-shoot he was working on and of course I agreed. I always watched television shows that revolved around modeling thanks to my sisters who were so into fashion at the time. I would sometimes take a look at their magazines and see the male and female models, study their faces, imitate it and imagine myself posing for a magazine or walking in a fashion show. Having the opportunity to be in the family friends duo shoot, I felt exhilarated  and grateful to have had the experience. A few years later after the shoot was when I moved upstate but having that feeling of modeling never left my mind. Now that I am back in New York City which is one of the most dominate Cities to be in for perusing a modeling career. I am taking action and doing everything in my power to become the best model that I can be.  Step by step I will make it and reach my goal!
