How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I would describe myself as a positive, life-affirming, down-to-earth and friendly person, who enjoys the ‘joie de vivre’.
How long have you been a model?
My first modeling experience was in 2011, which I quite liked. Nowadays it is along with traveling one of my greatest passions in life.
How did you get into modelling?
A good friend of mine is a photographer and he took my first professional-like pictures, just for fun. With these pictures I created an account with an online model register and got in touch with some other great photographers.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My first professional shooting was in Berlin. Because of my lack of experience I didn‘t know what to expect and I was all nerves. To calm myself, my best friend accompanied me to the shooting. Overall my first shooting was quite a positive experience. Everything went smooth and the photographs were actually quite good.
What does modelling mean to you?
The modeling is a very meaningful part of my life. It’s quite a change in my day-job as a white-collar worker. I’ve met many interesting people and it is a great opportunity to travel all over Germany and even other countries.
A model you particularly admire?
I really like Lena Gercke, the first season’s winner of Germany‘s next Top Model.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
Definitely the Caribbean - white sand beaches, crystal clear water and palm trees.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
During the week I prefer a casual style - jeans, tops and sneakers. The weekends are my opportunity to dress up.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Somewhere warm with a beach, with my whole family.
What is happiness?
To be surrounded with people who love you unconditionally.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
It depends, mainly, on the season. In the summertime I like to spend my evening with friends and family in the yard. During the winter time I will probably be relaxing on my sofa.
What’s your next goal?
I don’t have a particular goal. I’m quite happy, if I have still the opportunities to work with great photographers and I’d like many more beautiful pictures.
