Flo - Andre Allio's Art

"Flo est un modèle avec qui j'ai fais plusieurs séances photos. J'aime bien travailler avec elle par ce qu'elle est toujours très motivée et se donne a fond a chaque shooting. Cette série est le résultat d'un test beauté réalisé avec des fleurs artificielles assemblées avec du fil de fer et du scotch dont la structure a été effacé en post-production."

Djazel - Giselle, Modeling Jewel

I saw that Maxim was having a contest called Maxim's Finest, so I just thought "what the hell, I have nothing to lose" and decided to enter the competition. I ended up placing 6th in my group, which was actually a pretty big accomplishment for me considering I literally beat hundreds of other girls, and I was still in the top 10 girls of my group!

Jenny - Vintage and Pin Up beauty

One particular style that drew me in was vintage and pinup photography, akin to the style of Gil Elvgren's famed paintings of classically beautiful women. I've always been a lover of antiquities and times gone by, but the color, pulp, and femininity presented in the art of pinup were undeniably drawing me closer.
When I began vintage modeling, I knew very little of how to achieve retro styles, but I knew a lot about the mood and was able to make exaggerated faces that didn't look too over the top most times.

Mandi - Art of Alternative Modeling

I currently have 25 tattoos and the number is going down which I love because it means I have more completed pieces! I started off thinking that all my tattoos needed to have meanings, and some of them for sure have deeper meanings than others, but once I realized that I was getting things I loved or admired was more than a good enough reason to get them. Some had meanings that are no longer relevant in my life and others I just liked the way they looked.

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.

Vicky - As long as you love yourself and have supportive friends and family around you, nothing will ever stop you

My advice to anyone who is currently feeling low about their body is that nobody is telling you you can’t become whatever you want to be. I personally think body-shaming is getting lower nowadays, in high school you may get nasty comments but that’s only because that person hasn’t matured or grown-up yet to see that beauty is literally all in the personality, it’s your personality that defines you not your looks. I was the same, never had an ounce of confidence, never have and still don’t wear much makeup, bullied in school for being far too skinny yet everyone decided to ignore the fact I was champion cross country runner that did 12 miles training 5 days a week so of course there was nothing to me but the main thing I’ve learned is that as long as you love yourself and have supportive friends and family around you, nothing will ever stop you :)

My first experience in front of a camera was breathtaking. I never in my life have been in another setting where I felt that I fit and was comfortable to just let go and be myself. I prefer photos that are taken outside with the natural sun lighting. I feel the sun captures my skin tone better than artificial lighting.
