Ray Seitz recently completed his latest project, ABC’s “True Beauty”. The reality-based series is designed to reveal a person’s inner beauty as well as outer. Being the brainchild of Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher, it is a compelling combination of “America’s Next Top Model” and “Punk’d”. Ray stamped the show with his personality and artistic flare for life.

As an artist, Ray has traveled all over the world and studied with some of the most highly regarded contemporary masters of our time. The greatest of which is a Chinese painter named Mau-Kun Yim. During his nearly yearlong stay with Yim, Ray grew to understand the definition of great art. Ray is truly honored to have been mentored by one of the greatest painters of our time.

Ray constantly strives to evolve and develop his concept of beauty through life and art. Fascinated by the human form and its variety of expressions, Ray focuses on communicating his ideas through people and fashion.

With the combination of fine art, acting, modeling, and photography, Ray has a very unique perspective on what beauty is and what is required to project beauty:

• He understands what it means to connect with and project emotion while working as a model.
• Creating an authentic character based upon the organic parts of his own personality is fundamental to Ray’s process of acting.
• Ray knows how to pose the body and how to present it dynamically from a photographic view.
• As fine art is truly his passion, Ray understands the fundamentals of presenting beauty in its most raw and elemental form.

Through the combination of these skill sets, Ray has developed a very unique and powerful voice on the subject of beauty and its interpretation.

Ray loves the ocean and loves to surf. If he’s not in the studio you will probably find him at the beach. He is very passionate about the ocean and its preservation so that it can be passed on to the next generation. “Sheriff”, Ray’s English bulldog, loves the beach too. Working out is also a great release for Ray. He is currently working toward his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the watchful eye of master Nelson Monteiro and professor Rafael Ramos.
