When you do an interview with someone you barely know it’s often difficult to predict how it will turn out. That was not the case this time around. Before our interview I thought Chase Carpenter was a great looking guy that had an amazing personality. What I found was all of that is true and then some! Chase has a magnetic quality. His good looks are representative of how beautiful he is as a person. I put Chase Carpenter in the company of a select few people that I feel better off having met. What you’ll see in this interview is a playful, sincere, gracious and polite guy with charm in bucket loads. Chase Carpenter has “it”, whatever “it” is and soon everyone will know it.

Chris Chase-Tell me your story…
Chase Carpenter:
It all started for when was a child walking around Fashion Island with my father. A scouter came up to us and offered to represent me as a commercial model. That sparked the idea that this could be my future. Fast forward to one year ago. In February, my father, a part-time professional photographer, took a photo of me at the lunch table. I was wearing this beanie and a sweater; I looked the part of a total dorky kid. Other photographers, agencies, followers messaged my father asking who this “model” was. Seeing their confidence and persistence, we decide to give it a shot. I was literally leaving to go blind auditioning in LA, when a photographer, Tom Cullis, called, asking to let him shoot me first. The shoot with Tom was a blast, and provided some incredible shots. With Tom’s help and these new photos, I snagged an interview with my future talent agency in LA, NTA. The incredible international photographer Wander Aguiar then talked my dad into allowing him to have a shoot with me. That was a game changer. I had a blast and learned lessons I use today. And, it was that day that my first magazine editorial was shot. Wander also provided help with prepping my portfolio. At this point, I was prepped to present myself and my book to agencies. I soon signed with Aston Models, and the adventure began.

Chris Chase-how long have you been in the business and what drove you to be a model?

Chris Chase-A perfect day for Chase is…?
Chase Carpenter: I would say taking the day out with a really good friend. My favorite time is when you go to eat with someone, especially on cheat days. You share good bites, and can talk about anything. Afterwards, go anywhere, maybe a mall, and laugh the whole time.

Chris Chase-In one word describe yourself. Then tell me why.
Chase Carpenter: Dorky. I make weird faces, noises all the time. I like to randomly dance. I have corny jokes. I just want to see people laugh and smile.
Chris Chase-Who inspires you?
Chase Carpenter: My dad, Timothy. He is the strongest person I’ve ever met. With how much he has been able to accomplish and still spend time with me is amazing. I want to be half the father he is.
