-Hello Mark,  I'm really flattered you accepted to be interviewed for my online mag,  to start this interview off, please give me some background information.  

Hey Christopher, no thank you. I was born in Zeist a small town in Holland where I grow up with 2 older brothers and of course my parents, when I was 18 I moved out and started living on my own and studied in Utrecht after I finished my studies I started working as a car salesman to get to know how a business works.

 -How did you get into modelling? Was it easy or difficult for you to be convinced to become a model?

After 2 years of working as a car salesman I have to say I was really bored of it . One night I went out with some friends in Amsterdam, when I was walking out of a jazz bar where there was a small concert and an old American guy was playing with his band, some guy walked up to me between all my friends and asked me if I was already modeling. My first response was "No I am not" because I didn’t know anything about it and I didn’t think it was something for me. He invited me into the agency and we talked a bit. My plan was to do it part time and just stay in Holland, but it became really fast more than just part-time, and now I'm traveling all over the world and I'm living in N.Y.C, all this in one year.

 -Which was your first main assignment as a model?
My first big thing was the campaign for Pringle of Scotland that was shot by Fabien Baron.

Which do you prefer doing: runway shows, editorials, catalogue jobs? Why?
I love to do runway because it gives you some great energy when you are walking, and I like doing editorials if it's a cool story.

I know it's a very special moment for your career, can you tell me a bit about your recent modeling assignments and about the famous photographers you have worked with?Well my first job was with Fabien Baron for Pringle of Scotland, after that I started working with more good photographers, I did a story in W magazine with Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, it's great to work with them!!! This month Gucci Eyewear campaign came out, I shot that with Daniel Jackson and I shot a Zegna campaign that is coming out in January, I always love to work with Milan Vukmirovic he makes great pictures!!!

-I read your profile on models.com and I realized you're already a real top male model, what do you think is the key to be chosen by  photographers and clients in such a competitive market and did you expect such a great success?I think professional and personality. No I never thought it would go this fast.

-What's the most difficult part of being a model and what are the best parts?
Not seeing friends and family for a long time because we always travel allot, but in the same time that's the best thing about modeling and getting to know so many new people all over the world.
-Turning to some personal questions, how would you describe yourself? If you had to use few words to describe your personality, which adjectives would you use?
I'm really easy going but if I don't like something I'll let you know.

-How do you like to spend your spare time? What is the meaning of  fun and having a good time for you?
 I like to spend my spare time with close friends and family fun is having a good time but having a good time is less then fun ;) lol

-Thanks Mark for taking the time to reply to my questions, it was a gift for me and my readers!
Thank you very much I hope you all enjoyed it.
