Meet Raphael Stringer | Model

We had the good fortune of connecting with Raphael Stringer and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Raphael, how do you think about risk?
A lot of time in life we have everything to gain and way less to lose. Once I realized my potential reward was usually more than my potential losing I started to take more chances . I had a 9-5 and modeling was my 5-9 . I lost my 9-5 and took a risk on making modeling my 9-5 and so far the universe has continued to make a way for me

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Modeling and actoring opportunities have coming my way the more I just continue to invest in myself and market myself . I just did a short film “ child of the sun “ , a lead in a music video , footlocker ad , so just things that show me the grind pays .

It’s not easy or hard , it’s just a grind !!!!! And you gotta continue to grind haha

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Lunch special at gyu kaku for sure , one night street tacos in Korea town off pico , maybe Barney’s beanery in weho or el tejano in noho . I’m really a homebody , probably watching basketball , food channel , or someone marvel

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
God , The whole “ child of the sun “ crew , my manager Jon @fresh.blvd , and my family . The crew just showed me love and spoke confidence in me . My manager and fam same thing , just support and believe in me . Jon challenges me to be uncomfortable
