How would you describe yourself in a few words?
My name is Méline, I am a Belgian girl interested in photography and arts.
I am easygoing and down to earth. i am passionate and i love to meet new people who share my creative mind.
Photography is a way to express myself and my feelings
How long have you been a model?
It has been a bit over a year now.
How did you get into modelling?
I was always taking pictures of myself and my father had a friend who was a professional photographer. He suggested to contact him to organize a real photoshoot.
I absolutely loved it and wanted to continue. I started looking on my own online to find other photographers to work with. I got lucky and they accepted to work with me.
This is a real part of me now, more than just a hobby. I am really grateful to have parents helping me with it. I also have people working with me, to help me grow in the modeling world.
I really want to thank them all for what they do for me and the opportunities they present me.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
It was a great experience, the photographer was amazing, he made me feel comfortable directly and he is now a very good friend of mine.
I was in the zone very quickly thanks to his advices but after the shoot I was completely exhausted.
In the end, the pictures were beautiful and I was really glad about it.
What does modelling mean to you?
I am under 170cm which means that I will never be able to make a career out of it which saddens me a lot.
But I am very positive and I take every opportunities as a gift and I make the most out of it.
I am in my universe that let me express my feelings, it is a place I love to be :)
A model you particularly admire?
I have a lot of models that I look up to : Nina Agdal, Miranda Kerr, etc.
I have also a lot of lesser known models that I like to follow like Sherelle De Jong that you interviewed a few weeks ago.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
Hawaii on a sandy beach or New York op top of the skyscrapers or even in India during the festival of colours. The blue lagoon in iceland is on my bucket list haha
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
I always try to have a smart and elegant style. I love little dresses. I take a lot of pride in looking as good as I can.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
The USA to pursue a modelling career.
What is happiness?
Being with my friends and family having a good time during a sunny afternoon just enjoying each other.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
In my school books haha I take my university life seriously. I enjoy going out with friends and party like everybody else of course
What’s your next goal?
I have done photo shoots in Luxembourg, in France and in Germany. Photo Shoots in the US would be nice. I have worked with talented people like Sagar Manjarres or Olivier Merzoug and Michel Verpoorten recently. I would love to get in touch with other great photographers like Neo tony Lee, Sylvio Testa, Jean Noir, Robert voltaire, David Bellemere and so on to get a shoot with them.
