TR:Tell us how you manage to build up your modelling portfolio?
KD: My portfolio was build up with the first shoot of mine with a clothing brand named KWEKU K. INNOVATIONS and followed by some few other shoots which I directed myself with some runway pictures, so that was then that I was able to combine some shots (pics) for my modeling portfolio
First of all, let me explain what is meant by portfolio in the expects of modeling; A model Portfolio is an essential tool for a Model to gain professional work. It is a collection of professionally shot images that is ultimately your visual Modeling CV used to advertise your skills and abilities in front of the camera.

TR:What makes Ghana modelling industry unique?
KB: What makes Modeling unique in Ghana is that; Ghanaian Models are very dedicated and always willing to do their best at all times, and so far Ghana is very known as one of the peaceful country and also has creative and much styled fashion designers known in Africa. So both designers and Models do their best to make sure Ghana is been put on the Map because Ghanaians show organizers are able to put up a show and host about 30 designers over the world to showcase on the show and so to me think this is what makes modeling in Ghana Unique.

TR:Within a space of time when you entered into modelling you participated in one of Africa's biggest event Mercedes Benz Africa share with us your experiences?
KB: Mercedes Benz African fashion festival Ghana is rated as one of the top shows in Africa, I will say the show was a step up for me, because it hosted various models and designers across the globe and me being new in the industry and was able to walk on that show proves or tells me am much prepared for any show.
Their Model Casting pulled a crowed of models over two hundred (200) and me being part of the models being selected is a plus to me also.
Though there was a lot of tension, but I was able to go through perfectly.
