Oak Park Grad Finds Success In Modeling Career By Stephanie Bertholdo 5.16.2013 When Connor Hill’s dreams of a football career were dashed due to a sports injury, life after high school didn’t seem quite as bright for the former quarterback. Hill was the starting quarterback at Oak Park High School (California) in 2009, but by the time he was set to graduate in 2011, he had undergone surgery for a hernia, which took him out of the running for a college football career. Hill had been accepted to California Lutheran University and Menlo Park Business College, but he ended up following another path. Two months before he was ready to graduate from Oak Park High, Hill’s mother, Rena, suggested to her son that he try to land some modeling jobs for a little extra income. “As his mother, believing that my son is the cutest boy ever—as every mother does—I suggested that as long as he was going to stay in the Los Angeles area that he try to make some money for college working as a model,” Rena Hill said. To help her son get started, she sent photos of him to Wilhelmina, Ford Models and other agencies. “All three modeling agencies responded within just a couple of days, (and) Ford responded within hours of my email submission,” she said. Connor Hill signed with Wilhelmina in Beverly Hills and booked his first modeling job with Abercrombie & Fitch, working with photographer Bruce Weber. Now 20, Hill has modeled for Target, Kohl’s, Billabong, Hanes, Nordstrom, Perry Ellis and dozens of other companies. This month, Hill is being featured on the "Megatron" billboard in Times Square to promote the summer clothing line for Aeropostale. “It’s been a roller coaster from day one,” Hill said about his unexpected career. “ The most surprising aspect of being a model is how much time you have to spend on an airplane.” Being a model has plenty of perks. The money is exceptional (from $1,000 to $5,000 per shoot), and the jobs have led him to some spectacular travel destinations, though usually with only enough time to soak in the culture during the cab ride to the hotel. “Sometimes I’ll ask for a later flight or spare day to see what the country has to offer,” he said. So far, Hill has fallen in love with the Dominican Republic and has set his sights on the European market, especially Paris and Milan. The modeling industry has been quite a revelation for Hill. With no training, Hill and other aspiring models simply learn the ropes through on-the-job experience. “Basically, what they do is sign you and say your first photo shoot is here,” Hill said. “ You have to figure it out. You’re either a natural or very awkward. I was very awkward, but I learned very quickly. I get red in the face looking at some of my (first) pictures.” Hill started out with some test shoots, which are unpaid. “You have to pay for it,” he said, explaining that the $400 cost of the shoot does not come out of pocket but is deducted from compensation for later work. Before paying jobs kicked in, Hill focused on shedding some of his high school football weight and getting his teeth straightened. “I didn’t know what to expect,” he said. “They threw me into the fire . . . and I was able to adapt pretty quickly.” Hill also learned to say no pretty quickly. Photographers, he said, sometimes try to manipulate young models. “I won’t do nude shots,” he said. “I have to be able to look my mom in the face at the end of the day.” Male models face different challenges than women, Hill said. “That’s the struggle for a male model (in an industry) dominated by women and gay men. We’re like meat. But, I can’t really complain. It comes with the territory, but I do have to navigate it.” Although Hill has had a few mentors to rely upon to make sure he was on the right path, for the most part he is proud of making his way through the world of modeling on his own. “It’s part of becoming an adult and knowing who you are,” Hill said about his career journey. “I tell my agent all the time that if I’m put in a compromising situation, I’ll quit.” Hill attends acting classes in his spare time and hopes one day to act and work as a screenwriter or director. But for now, Hill just wants to become financially secure. Daily pay for male models is based strictly on age, he said. Now that he is past his teenage years, developing more facial hair and firming up his teen model physique into that of a grown man, more lucrative jobs for Armani and Calvin Klein are opening up. “They won’t put an 18-yearold in a Hugo Boss campaign,” he said. theacorn.com
