Your portfolio is important. But how do potential clients find you?

In my 15 years in international modeling, I’ve learned the value of building connections, getting recommendations, and using the right platforms to make yourself visible.

Every market is different. Learn where the clients are—and put yourself in a position to be discovered.

Honestly, I don’t know if I would start modeling today.

I started about 15 years ago, when you could build a career without constantly filming yourself, posting every day, or thinking about your personal brand.

Today, the line between being a model and being a content creator/influencer is much smaller.

The industry has changed.
The expectations have changed.
And the way models build careers has changed.

Would I still choose modeling?

Probably.

But I definitely wouldn’t do it the same way.

Would you start modeling today?

Being good-looking can open doors, but it won’t build your career for you.

After 15 years in the modeling industry, I’ve learned that how you present yourself, communicate, build relationships, and promote your skills matters too.

Whether you’re a model, an entrepreneur, or someone building a career, don’t rely on talent alone.

Learn how to communicate your value.

Because being good at something and knowing how to make people recognize that value are two different skills.

Which skill are you working on right now? 👇 taken in Guangzhou, China by @antonio.fernandese

My definition of success has changed a lot over the years.

When I was younger, I thought it was about getting more — more money, more work, more recognition.

Now I value something different: having control over my time and being able to choose the direction of my life.

Maybe success isn’t about having more.

Maybe it’s about having more control over what you already have. taken in Guangzhou City ,China by @antonio.fernandese

For a long time, I thought every decision had to lead somewhere permanent.

But life doesn’t really work that way.

Sometimes a plan ends, you don’t know what’s next, and you just have to make the next decision.

You can change direction without having made the wrong decision.

Not everything needs to be figured out in advance.

For a long time, I thought being capable of learning anything was enough.

But being able to learn something quickly isn’t the same as having years of experience doing it.

I also mentioned something my father told me about football teams as an example of this idea.

At some point, you have to stop trying to be good at everything and start building around what you’re actually good at.

Still learning that one. taken in Luang Prabang, Laos by @antonio.fernandese

I realized something recently.

You can be busy all day and still not actually be moving forward.

Sometimes being busy just makes us feel productive.

But being productive and making progress aren’t always the same thing.

Maybe it’s worth asking yourself:

Am I actually moving forward — or am I just staying busy? taken in Luang Prabang, Laos by @antonio.fernandese

A little quieter than usual lately.

I’m taking some time to reset, work on a few things behind the scenes, and prepare for what comes next.

Not everything needs to be announced before it happens.

Some things are better built quietly.

A different era.
An old castle.
A vintage Mercedes.
Just a moment captured like a scene from another life.
