When regarding my pictures, people often say the pics impress such a calm energy, a relaxing and beautiful one and ask what's the magic behind it.
All I can say is that i really feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera.
I trust my intuition and just move like I feel - without pretending - just beeing the way I am.
I don't like too much picture editing or too much make-up on my skin.
I like it more naturally.

For new alternative people getting into modelling my best advice is to be undoubtedly and unashamedly yourself! Know your limits and what you enjoy and only work within that bracket, you know what you want, and you know what is best for you - you know better than anyone else!
Sometimes it can be hard to feel like you “belong” and feeling relaxed in front of the camera comes with practice.
The best way to overcome any fears is to put yourself in the positions you want to be in and push yourself to perform to the best of your ability! It’s a competitive world out there, so never compare yourself to others and remember: us models are all in the same boat - it’s better to uplift and support the people around you rather than get bogged down with comparisons or jealousy!
I absolutely love doing portrait images, but growing up this was something I thought I’d never be able to do as I had bad skin as a teenager but having said that all I needed to do was believe in myself have the right amount of confidence and learn to love the way I am and look, that’s where the real beauty is, Once I Conquered that my modelling career took off And I can happily say my confidence has grew and iv never felt better!!
