How would you describe yourself in a few words?
Introvert, misanthrope, cat and dog lover.
How long have you been a model?
Since November 2015.
How did you get into modelling?
It started with some casual creative photo projects with friends of mine. Some of them had great experience with photography, some were freshman. I am really happy that I had the opportunity to work on some extraordinary ideas for photo shootings with them. Later on I’ve started to contact photographers, whose work I admire and asked for collaboration.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
Well, the first shooting was in November 2015 with Steven Mahner. I was very delighted about this meeting. I’m always excited to work with my favorite photographer. He is not only an excellent photographer but also a great person. I’ve brought various outfits and we shot for three hours straight without getting tired. Later that day he messaged me that he is very satisfied with the pictures and already on the next day I received the photos. I like it when photographers are content with my work as a model and when they enjoy the editing of the photos. It’s great to see the photos on social media like facebook, instagram etc. and I like it when they ask me to work with them again. It’s an amazing feeling which gives me energy to carry on with photography.
What does modelling mean to you?
It would be an understatement if I said it is just a hobby. It means a lot more to me. I invest energy, time, money for clothes and travelling. Modelling is also a very emotional thing for me. Sometimes I am frustrated after shootings for different reasons and consider photography as a waste of time. But photography definitely enriched my life and I’ve never regretted the time and effort I invested into modelling and the work with the photographers.
A model you particularly admire?
A female model – Scarlett Simoneit.
A male model – Nyle DiMarco.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
Porto, Portugal.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
I am very flexible with my style and always try to dress for the occasion. . I am a big fan of chic, classic, romantic and tomboy style … and comfortable shoes, haha.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Somewhere in Portugal.
What is happiness?
To stay longer in a bed on Saturday mornings … with my cat.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
At home, dabbling as painting or in the fitness center.
What’s your next goal?
Improve in what I do and make it more than a spare time activity.
