How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I’d describe myself as a very natural person, I have a lot of energy and I like to let it flow into art. In general, I would say I have an outgoing personality, and I try to keep my mindset positive.
How long have you been a model?
I started modelling at the beginning of this year and I´m really thankful to have gathered that much valuable experience during this short timeframe.
How did you get into modelling?
A friend of mine opened his first photo studio and asked me if I wanted to volunteer for a few shoots. We had a lot of fun and the results were awesome. Then I decided to keep doing it.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
Actually, the photos you can see in this post are from my first professional photo shooting. It took place in Stuttgart and I had no idea what to expect. But after a short warm-up, it turned out that I didn´t act as clumsily as I had thought I would.
What does modelling mean to you?
For me modelling, means to use my potential in a creative way to point out a direction in which I can develop myself. It is important for me to identify myself with the projects I am part of.
A model you particularly admire?
I don´t have a certain name in mind. I like models who express themselves in a natural way. I think that no matter what job you’re doing, staying true to yourself is what matters most.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I love being outside. It’s easier for me to ground myself while I’m surrounded by nature. I think that a model standing in the middle of mountains, water or trees embodies the true human being in its most natural way.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
I am crazy about extraordinary pieces of clothing. Being unique and classy at the same time. I found my favorite pieces at a carnival themed second-hand store.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
NYC
What is happiness?
“There is no way to happiness,- happiness is the way”
(buddha)
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Sometimes I’d rather stay at home with friends having a cozy afternoon in pajamas and knee highs.
But on some nights I like going out to one of my favorite bars, making history.
What’s your next goal?
Finish my studies and hook a few more points of my bucket list.
