Jode - I like to encourage body confidence

The pink paint shoot was one of my favourite projects I have worked on.

Myself and Jason (Phototrinity) brainstormed ideas for this paint shoot and spent about 2 months getting the resources for it and planning exactly what we wanted to do. This shoot was split into two main sets of photos. The first was fun, creative, bright colourful shots, creating interesting body shapes and focusing on detailed imagery.

The second was of a slightly darker setting, expressing mental health awareness. This set was created with the message of showing vulnerability and struggles with mental health such as anxiety, depression and BPD. This was a very powerful shoot for me and something I could really use to be expressive and channel all of my energy into.

The shoot in total took around 8 hours in the studio. It was super fun, very messy and a hot shower afterward was much appreciated!

Sharon - si quieren algo luchen por conseguirlo, de eso se trata / if you want something, fight to get it

Mi humilde consejo para aquellas chicas que quieran empezar con el modelaje es confiar en sí mismas,

sentirse seguras y amarse es el primer paso para luchar por lo que quieren.

Es cierto que hay envidia y mala onda, pero si quieren algo luchen por conseguirlo,

de eso se trata porque hay lugar para todas.

My humble advice for those girls who want to start with modeling is to trust themselves,

feel safe, and love each other is the first step to fight for what they want.

It is true that there are envy and bad vibes in this business,

but if you want something, fight to get it, because there is room for everyone.

Charlotte - Believe in yourself and you can achieve anything

The confidence hasn't always been there for me. Modelling has definitely increased my self-esteem.

Your perfect just the way you are and you should show off what you have because nobody has it like you!

Finding a photographer who to trust and confide in for your first shoot is important, they can help give you guidance as well as help you excel in what you enjoy doing.

My motto is.. Believe in yourself and you can achieve anything.

Chloe - when you model, you have more power in the court than you know

Body confidence, however, is a tricky topic as everyone’s bodies and responses to them are different. It takes years for most people to love themselves and appreciate themselves, and that’s okay. These things take time and I spent many years wanting to tear off my own skin as I hated a lot of things about myself, and oddly enough, most of the features I was picked on about are now contributions to why photographers book me for shoots! (I’m one of the few active models with light olive skin and dark hair, naturally curly hair in Exeter). Although remember – any form of stress can impact on your body as well and lack of self-care as a result of stress can change your body, this is usually hit or miss so just keep that in mind.

Autumn - Modelling was the birth of my confidence

I would describe my career so far as spontaneous. I worked harder than I had ever worked before at the beginning of my career and I still do, It’s brought me things I never thought I would be doing. I’ve been involved in tv work, including being cast on MTVs true love or true lies, flown out to model for a music video in Cyprus. I've featured in a fashion show. Shot with a jewelry brand, crisp brand, many clothing brands, and also had my image published. These are all the process of leading up to something great.
