John Salutare

Adam Medders Photography
John Salutare lives in star-studded Los Angeles, California and he’s ready to add his name to the list of greats. He has always had the desire to succeed, and his reason for entering the modeling industry is simple: “I just grew into my looks and finally made the plunge.” John played football growing up and puts a lot of effort into maintaining his model physique. “I still train like I’m playing football and work harder than most.”
John has already completed several photo shoots including one boxing shoot for Gleson's Gym in Brooklyn as well as a FIT stylist shoot in New York City. Part of his success can be attributed to knowing what is required in the modeling industry. He also knows how to take the good with the bad. “Rejection doesn’t faze me. I know what I’m in for and I know what I’m capable of. Modeling requires a combination of hard work, good mental and physical health, determination and luck.”

While modeling is a part of John’s vision of the future, he also harbors dreams of creating a great life for himself and his family. “I was blessed with a very strong desire to succeed in life. This is what I have chosen to do with it, so I look forward to having all the things I have always wanted for me and my family. I look forward to the day I can sit on the beach and look at my career and life and be overcome with a feeling of success. I want to have myself set up so that my children live a blessed life while still knowing the importance of hard work!”
John has a broad range of interests and hobbies and he nurtures a very artistic side. “Drawing and artwork are my true passion. I also love to write and travel. I could watch movies all day and night.” His interests don’t end there, however. John also feels at home with nature. “I love all outdoor activities and sports. I love the beach and going on vacation. I have been blessed with some of the best friends a person could ask for, so it really doesn’t matter what we do. We always have a good time.”
