Introducing Richard–In preparation for London Collections: Men, photographer Diane Betties connected with AMCK model Richard Hruby for her latest photo session. At 16, the fresh face hails from Budapest, Hungary, where he was scouted by Icon. Recalling when he was initially scouted, Richard shares, “I was waiting in a square in suit and tie. I had been waiting for my dad, because we had a nice dinner that day. Suddenly a man came to me, and asked me to be a model. I wasn’t really keen on the idea. I knew that I may have to pay money.” Richard explains that in Hungary, many scouters get paid for the names and numbers they collect. However, that wasn’t the case here. He ended up throwing caution to the wind and fortunately was connected with Icon. Richard adds, “It’s a very serious agency, and of course I don’t have to pay, because it’s their risk.” Now Richard’s future in modeling looks promising as he prepares for the shows in London later this month.
