How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I’m a free spirit and grounded person, trying to focus on doing things I really love. Reflecting myself helps me a lot to be loyal and happy not caring too much about the opinion of others.
How long have you been a model?
Actually, I wouldn’t call me a model but maybe an artist. As a child I started doing creative moves with my body and I’m glad that today some photographers are interested in working with that :).
How did you get into modelling?
Especially my work as a pole dancing instructor made it possible to meet a lot of people I know today like other dancers, instructors and also photographers… It’s like a chain reaction and I am really happy and thankful I can do something to look back on later.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
I had my first shootings at our dancing school and it was a lot of fun! I was surprised how demanding it could be to find and hold the right poses especially because it was a pole dancing shoot. But we had a team shooting and helped each other and laughed a lot!
What does modelling mean to you?
Modelling means capturing moments in a creative way I can always look back on in the future. It also means I can gain experiences like visiting different places and getting to know interesting people.
A model you particularly admire?
Hm… There are so so many beautiful models. But it’s easier for me to admire people because of who they are or what they do so I would say Emma Watson who is actually more an actor but she uses her publicity so much for an important topic like women’s rights.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I love unspoiled nature so I would choose a place outside that looks strong and stunning without any human help.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
Oh, it depends a lot on my mood on that day. Sometimes love to wear comfy clothes like leggings or in summer jeans shorts and walk around with no shoes and other days I feel good with spending my day in a casual outfit and high heels. But I buy actually only favorite pieces and combine them some days creative and other days simple.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
My home is where my heart is and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else forever. It’s an old farm my family is living at for several generations. A calm place next to Hamburg so I can choose if I want to go out to enjoy fresh air and green landscape or if I prefer the lively city… <3.
What is happiness?
Happiness is feeling confident, knowing who you are and being free.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
I prefer going out and have some action and fun in the day time so at night I mostly enjoy being home and I also train a lot at that time. But I also love to see my sisters or friends to talk a lot or having dinner and sometimes freaking out in a club or just in a sociable round.
What’s your next goal?
My partner and I just found the right place to open a store for our online shop in Hamburg and now have to dare doing that step which would be a really big one for us :).
