Liberty - Rising Star

In the next few weeks I will be a catwalk model for Birmingham Fashion Festival and currently, I am a semi-finalist for Miss Midlands UK 2018.

If you asked me 3 months ago to participate within these events I most definitely would of said no. It has shown me how modelling can increase self-confidence and can teach you to love yourself for you!

These two amazing opportunities made me realize how lucky I am and how far I have come in the last few months.

I am extremely excited and still ridiculous overwhelmed by both opportunities.

Megan - Becoming a model and being a role model

My confidence in myself and in photographers is building each day.

My eye/mind for recognizing talent, beauty, and art is broadening and the support from friends, family and from other models has been amazing!

We even have our own local model group chat where we can recommend photographers, ideas, and locations to each other.

It’s an industry that I didn’t expect so much support from as people are very quick to judge but I have gained more than ever and for that I am thankful.

Jackée Montel - start being that beautiful person that you are

I would tell young girls to stay true to themselves. Be positive and keep on going. Because you only get what you put in so go big and keep chasing cause eventually, you’ll catch it! Always love yourself and never let no one tell you that you can’t do it! Because you can!

Jcole said it best “ no such things as a life that’s better than yours, love yours” I truly believe whatever size or shape you are OWN IT! Self-love is the best love. Let your insecurities go and start being that beautiful person that you are. This is your life live it freely without being ashamed because you are beautiful.

I do all kinds of art. Acrylic painting, oil painting, watercolor painting, welding, ceramics, woodworking, oil pastels, paper sculptures, scale projects, modeling, poetry, children's illustration, glass blowing, jewelry making..... You name it I probably know how to do it.

I am working towards publishing a children's illustration book by December.

Right now I am competing to be the cover model for Inked Magazine.

Shell - unique glam Alt model

I think the worst thing you can do is try to compare yourself to other models.

I’ll admit I’ve done it myself before and it’s not a good cycle to get into, putting yourself down and wishing you were more like someone else but what you need to remember is everyone is different.

Every one has there own unique look, style, flaws even and that’s what makes you the person you are. I’ve honestly over time learned to love myself exactly how I am.

One thing I love about the modelling industry is the confidence it gives you.

Confidence shows and I think it’s a really powerful thing.

Another thing I love is that you get to meet some amazing people, I’ve worked with some incredibly talented photographers who are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, it’s brilliant.

Brooke - learn to love your body

I love exploring different styles! I'm open to anything.
Although, I do love the art behind boudoir/lingerie photography, because it's not just "some girl posing in lingerie" it's about empowering women, and the feminine beauty. After spending most of my life struggling with eating disorders and hating my body, the fact that I now have the confidence to embrace my curves and body is what makes me the happiest, and yes I do love to show it off because no one should ever have to feel like they're not beautiful. Its art, and It's the human body... we're all amazing in our different shapes and sizes. I love looking back on photos and just thinking to myself "Oh my god... that is me. I look amazing." Sometimes I'm so shocked I'm almost crying because it's an amazing feeling to not look at yourself in disgust but instead feel so empowered and beautiful.

I have one huge tattoo on my right thigh. It's a cluster of roses and designs with a quote in Tibetan Sanskrit and a geisha. The Sanskrit is in Drutsa and reads, "To live and die with no regrets." Roses are symbolic to love and happiness. The geisha symbolizes the epitome of a living work of art, one of which I consider myself. My tattoo means that, whether good or bad, each and every experience makes us who we are. There's nothing I'll trade in the world for the woman I am today and I accept that and all that came with it, it's a work of art. Get it?
