Meet Rick Wooton
Internationally published fashion and glamour photographer Rick Wooton is the founder of Models-1, and Executive Director of Aspiring Faces International. He has been training and photographing new models and actors for over 30 years, and scouts for over 100 of the worlds biggest model and talent agencies. His work has been seen in hundreds of magazines all over the world, and featured on dozens of web sites. He is considered one of the foremost experts in developing new model talent, and his honest and straight-forward seminars draw huge crowds everywhere he goes.
His photography background actually started as a part-time "semi-pro" hobby back in 1970, and didn't actually become a full-time occupation until 1995. Between that time, Rick worked as Facilities Planning Engineer and Program Manager for several aerospace firms in Southern California, and he even acquired his private pilot's license in 1986. His hobbies are fishing, playing guitar, and motorcycle riding. Rick first came to Fergus Falls, MN. in May of '91, and moved there in '92 to escape the madness of Los Angeles, and yet found his profession was in even greater demand in the midwest. Rick is currently divorced, the father of three and has two grandchildren (and another on the way!).

| In early 2000, Rick and the then current owners of the Aspiring Faces Network began talks aimed at a co-working relationship, which later developed into a full merger deal. Since then, Rick has assumed management of both entities which were combined in Aspiring Faces International, a promotional and educational site for all aspects of the entertainment industry, leaving Models-1 to be dedicated to his photography alone. His studio and offices are located in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, in the heart of the Lakes area!
