Meet 23 year old Adam Bouska from West Hollywood. Monsieur sexy here is part of the “model turns photographer” phenomenon. Adam has been shooting now for about 3 years… I recently found him on MySpace and decided to message him on getting an interview after seeing hundreds of his wonderful creations (and pics of him). Three minutes later he messaged me back and granted the interview with big hugs and smiles. Adam Bouska is a total sweetheart (as expected). He’s pictured above in the middle. You see?… the guy with the hot tongue? :-p Check out exclusive previews of his latest photoshoot only on treycruz.com after the jump.

Q: Adam I love your last name. Where are you from?
A: I was born and raised in central, Illinois but my last name originates in Czechoslovakia.

Q: What was it like growing up as a child? Did you have any artistic influences?
A: Growing up I had always been surrounded by art whether it be painting, music, photography, and movies. When I was young I would spend my time painting murals on my walls which continued onto my ceilings. My mother actually suggested to me at an early age to try art and further my talent with classes but the idea of classes turned me off, and I would spend days on end sketching.

Q: I read somewhere that you use to be a model. Can you tell me a little more about that?
A: Modeling was never a huge aspiration of mine.  While living in Chicago I had a friend whom was a photographer who asked me to pose for him.  I was reluctant at first, but ended up giving in and loving being a part of it.  We ended up shooting again, and again I was amazed to see the whole process.  I got a few paid jobs, enough to save up and purchase my first camera :-)

Q: What got you into photography?
A: My desire to photograph came from my dissatisfaction (with love) from other photographers. It never seemed like they shared the same vision as I did, so I was confident I could do something more.

Q: What type of photography inspires you most?… fashion, nature, etc…
A: Fashion. Constantly changing, fast paced industry, and creative limits seem endless.

Q: What is your favorite photograph that you have captured of yourself?
A: Of myself? Eek. My classic myspace photo was fun. Yeah, that one… [myspace]

Q: Do you admire any other photographers?
A: I admire them all honestly. It’s not easy turning it into a profession. It can be rough at first, but well worth it in the end. So any photographer pursuing it, understanding the long days, traveling, deadlines and such, all to capture the shot; I admire that greatly.

Q: And one last question Adam. Your hot and young and i’m pretty sure many of my readers would like to know. What do you wear to sleep? And if you could hit on any one of them… using a cheesy photographer line… what would it be?
A: What do I wear to sleep? Nothing. Clothes are confining. After living in Palm Springs, I didn’t really have much of a choice there. Lol
Cheesy photographer line…hmm… “Lets shoot sometime…and take photos too�

LOL wow Adam. I have to admit I was a little impressed with the cheesy photographer line. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview and I wish you the best of luck, even though you don’t need any, with all your future projects. And I hope to hear from you in the near future and keep all my readers and I posted. Take care!
