My favorite part, has definitely been the various styles and variations of modelling. Editorial, fashion, beauty. 

 

So with your modelling, you also branch into other creative outlets, which ones are those and how does it benefit your modelling Journey?

So I also do content creation and make up which allows me to see all sides of a shoot if that makes sense? If I need to do my own makeup for a shoot, I can. If I’m working with other creatives, it’s easy for me to give my own creative opinions as well.

When starting a shoot, how do you prepare for it?

I always ask the photographer for their mood board a couple of days to the shoot, practice different poses that fit the mood board and on the day, I stretch and confirm from the photographer again what kind of poses they want. 

What is your day to day outfit like when you are not modelling?

Very casual and comfy. Baggy jeans, a crop top and hoodie/jacket depending on the weather.

Shapeshifting. So I can transform into whatever character I need to be for that shoot .
