Tyson Ballou: The biography

Posted Jul 29, 2009

Although we assumed models such as Tyson were heaven sent from a far off galaxy called hunk, the truth is (spoiler alert!) that male models have a human story of discovery too. Swide traces Tyson's rise to super stardom.

Tyson Ballou was discovered in his hometown of Garland, Texas. Born on 14th November 1976, Tyson began modeling at the age of fifteen, appearing in local shows and magazines.

Following a move to New York in autumn 1998, Tyson gained acclaim working with leading photographers on numerous campaigns and editorial shoots, and the demand for him has not stopped since. He now splits his time between New York and Europe, representing a variety of prestigious brands.
