How Modeling Boot Camp Transformed Olympic-Fencer–Turned–Wilhelmina-Model Tim Morehouse (NY Magazine)
July 23, 2010Fencing Meets Fashion Again. A Photo Shoot with Antonio Azzuolo Clothing and Photographer Phil Moy
March 29, 2010 
Ahhh, back to work promoting fencing…
Had the pleasure of working with Photographer Phil Moy and stylist Cristian Mendez this evening. We were shooting a story on the synergy of fencing and fashion with Fall 2010 clothing from Antonio Azzuolo.
The threads were very fun and cool. Here are a few outtakes from the shoot and will keep you posted when the real pictures are published! I’m also kind of excited because later in the week I’ll be doing a shoot with my Beijing teammates James Williams, Keeth Smart and Jason Rogers with celebrity photographer and America’s Next Top Model judge, Nigel Barker.
Should be fun!
Olympian and Model Tim Morehouse Aims to Put Fencing on the Map with Polo Player and Ralph Lauren Model Nacho Figueras as a Role Model
December 4, 2009
Apparently this modeling thing has some legs…
Never in my life, especially while working at Teach For America teaching 7th grade Social Studies did I think I’d be a Wilhelmina Model doing photo shoots for fashion brands and magazines, but since the Beijing Olympics as we’ve tried to promote fencing it seems like the fashion world has really been a great ally. Who knew?
The past two weeks we’ve been doing a number of exciting shoots and I guess we’ll see how far this will go! The NY Post’s Page 6. The Huffington Post and Vanity Fair can’t be wrong, right? They’ll all discussed our modeling adventures…
I love the idea of promoting fencing in a similar manner to what Nacho Figueras the Polo player has done, but to even a greater level since our sport is much more accessible…(we don’t need horses and fields to play!)
Check out this article on him from the New York Times on him:”Putting Glamour on Horseback“. The gist, he’s a Polo player, Ralph Lauren model and does an amazing job promoting his sport and finding it a unique niche for sponsors.
- Nacho Figueras
My vision for fencing’s niche in our modern-day society is that it can be both unique social gathering and sporting event for adults and a learning tool and participation sport for children.
It’s an expanded vision built on what Nacho has done with Polo matches in the Hamptons except we can do these in the major cities like NYC and LA and we also can teach tons of children to do it in schools and clubs.
The sport would be on display in an elegant manner both in regards to where its taking place and how the fencers and crowd interact and dress. Think old school chivalry and honor meets modern-day fashion and technology. It would be a re-branded modern version involving fencing’s spectacular history as a sport of Kings and Nobility with its new benefits as a safe (no one gets stabbed anymore!) sport of strategy and athleticism for people to do to be healthy at all ages.
The Italian Fencing Association is doing this the best right now. See my “Fencing Done Right…” article for some pictures of what fencing could be.
Plus, wouldn’t it be cool to have people settling their differences again with a duel?
Stay tuned!

Howard Schatz Photographs Fencing! (A Preview!)
October 31, 2009
Howard Schatz is one of the most well-known sports photographers in the world. He has photographer almost every major sport and athlete and his pictures can be seen regularly in Sports Illustrated, ESPN Magazine and tons of other publications. (He last photographed fencing back in 2000 when he did some stuff with Cliff Bayer for the Olympics in Australia)
Jason Rogers and I had the wonderful opportunity to do a photo shoot with Howard this week. Our managers at Wilhelmina Models, Topher Despres, Stacy Fuller and Rachel Strayer all deserve huge kudos for setting this up for us!
Here is a sneak preview of the kind of stuff we did with him. Let me know what you think!
There was one mishap during the shoot, Jason hit me in the face with a saber by accident when we were doing some stuff together without masks (Good lessons for kids, even Olympians screw up!)…
The anger you see in my face in this picture is pretty authentic! lol

Biggest Loser Winner, Helen Phillips!
June 5, 2009
I have to admit that one of my guilty pleasures is to watch The Biggest Loser when I happen to be home and have time!
Yesterday, after a meeting at my modeling agency Wilhelmina, I ran into Helen Phillips the latest winner of the show and her husband. We chatted for a bit and talked about the “now what” after a big event. She’s been on the TV circuit doing shows like The View and others and trying to figure out how to parlay her current TV fame into something more long term.
She was really nice, and I wish her and her husband the best of luck!
NV Magazine Shoot with NY Knicks Nate Robinson
May 9, 2009
This has been a hectic few days!! (Running on fumes right now!)
This morning I trekked to Brooklyn for a photo shoot for June/July Sports & Entertainment issue of NV magazine which will also feature NY Knicks guard and NBA slam-dunk-champion Nate Robinson and NY Jets player Kerry Rhodes.
Nate was super nice and as a Knicks fan it’s always awesome to meet your hometown favorites! (Knicks in 2010!)
We did the shooting (hopefully they turn out well!) in various outfits in various locations in an apartment.
Special thanks to Darryl Brown for setting up this opportunity for me and to the Tony andIrdis for taking great pictures and helping me as I fumbled my way through being a model!
