Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Harry Baines. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Harry thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

It actually started back in high school when I was 15 I did my first beach photo shoot which led me to pursuing the Modeling industry, I was told that I’m extremely photogenic by many photographers so I decided to go for it.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I got into the industry after being scout by my mother’s close friend which she was the one who organized my first shoot, from that it opened so many opportunities for me to become a fashion and editorial model professionally. I set high standards for myself and with clients so we can bring out the best creative sides of both of us, to bring the best artistic vision to life.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

Covid 19 was when I had a huge hiatus due to quarantine, I went a whole year without bookings because of it.

Do you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light?

Your goals take time, nothing happens overnight, most people see me now but don’t know that I’ve been doing this since 15
