Since then, I\u2019ve been able to appreciate and even enjoy challenging periods more than before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-75541 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Onur Ugur\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-75552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur03.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur03-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur03-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-75552'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Onur Ugur\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur04.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Onur Ugur\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-75553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur04.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur04-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur04-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-75553'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Onur Ugur\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur05.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Onur Ugur\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-4\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-75554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur05.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur05-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_OnurUgur05-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-75554'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Onur Ugur\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Onur<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nOnur Ugur \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/onuruguurr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@onuruguurr<\/a> \u2014 Turkish from Istanbul, Turkey \u2014 born September 6th \u2014 190 cm \/ 6&#8217;3&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/citizen-management\">Citizen Management (Istanbul &#8211; mother agency)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/INDEPENDENT-MODEL-MANAGEMENT\">Independent Model Management (Milan)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Tell us about your hometown.<\/strong><br \/>\nI live in Kocaeli in Turkey. It is a quiet and calm city, so it is really nice if you want to relax and clear your mind. The downside is that it is a bit far from most central areas, especially for modeling. Going to castings can take a few hours sometimes. But it is not something that would stop me from chasing my goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nActually, I was at school on a normal high school day, and I was talking with my friends. At some point, one of them told me, \u201cYou could be a model, you should try it.\u201d That idea stayed in my mind, and later I started researching modeling. At first, I was a little nervous about agencies because I wanted to find a trustworthy one. After some time, I found a good agency and started modeling, and that&#8217;s how it all began.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are 3 interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Actually, I&#8217;m more funny than I look from the outside. I just need to be in the right place with the right people to show that side of me.<br \/>\n2. I really like listening to classical music. Most people around me find it a bit boring, but for me it&#8217;s very relaxing, and I really enjoy it.<br \/>\n3. I enjoy spending time on my own; simple things like going for a walk or sitting alone in a cafe and drinking coffee. When I can control my own time and energy, I feel happier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-5' class='gallery galleryid-75541 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Tom Genero\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-75555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero01.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero01-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero01-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-75555'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Tom Genero\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Tom Genero\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-75556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero02.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero02-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero02-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-75556'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Tom Genero\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Tom Genero\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-5\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero03.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-75557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero03.jpg 952w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero03-536x750.jpg 536w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2026\/03\/mdcselects_tomgenero03-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-75557'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Tom Genero\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"name-title\">Tom<\/div>\n<div class=\"writeup\">\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nTom Genero \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/tom.genero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@tom.genero<\/a> \u2014 Australian from Canberra, Australia \u2014 born January 24th \u2014 187 cm \/ 6&#8217;1.5&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/fivetwenty-model-management\">FiveTwenty Model Management (Sydney &#8211; mother agency)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom a young age, I have had the biggest obsession with gemstones.
