She signed with Modelogic Wilhelmina Midwest in late September 2011. Her high fashion look has already reached New York with many photographers and companies interested in her unique look and adorable personality. Georgia is the most loving person who greets everyone with a smile. It takes little effort to engage a conversation with her.Although a little shy, her silly personality makes being around her all the more fun. Not to mention, she is very cooperative and so generous when it comes to working with a team. Georgia is a hard worker and is determined to get the perfect shot.With those gorgeous hazel eyes, flawless porcelain skin, and legs that go on forever, it will not take long for Georgia to climb to the top in the modeling industry. JULIE XIONG: What got you interested in modeling after graduating with a fine arts degree? GEORGIA ELIZABETH LLOYD: Well, I guess when I went to [the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design] and was majoring in photography, a lot of my friends actually asked me to pose for them. So that’s what really got me interested because I thought it was really fun to be in front of the camera as well as behind. XIONG: So what type of modeling do you want to go into and where would you go? LLOYD: I don’t care as long as I get paid. But right now, my agent is trying to market me in New York because she says my face is more New York and high fashion rather than catalog. Right now, I can’t work yet because I don’t have a big enough portfolio so I can’t go see a client yet because they probably won’t actually hire me. But right now, there’s a catalog in the Midwest interested in me. For the most part, my agency has been sending my photos out to NewYork and I have apparently quite a few people interested in New York. So that’s the kind of work I would like. I mean, that doesn’t matter to me but that’s probably what I’d be doing. XIONG:Without money being part of the equation, what would you want to do? What is your modeling dream job? If you could to do any modeling in the world, what would it be and why? LLOYD: I would not want to do runway. I’d only want to pose for photos. And I think I’d want to work with photographers who took more stylistic leaps. So, like, this kind of [photography]. A lot of [photography] requires very little makeup, there’s very little—I don’t know, it’s all just very straightforward and simple.And that stuff seems more boring to me. XIONG: Do you have any favorite models? LLOYD: I don’t know many models. Lilly Cole, I like her. XIONG:What helps you get into character and to relax? LLOYD: I don’t know if I have that down well enough yet because the thing is when I was posing with my friends, the photographer always had a very specific idea in mind and somebody tells me exactly what to do because they already envisioned it. So it was never really that hard. For the stuff I’m going to be doing where the clients are going to be hiring me, I’m not going to have that luxury of a photographer or director telling me exactly 142

HAVE TO GO IN THERE AND KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO POSE AND HOW TO EMOTE.
what to do. I have to go in there and know exactly how to pose and how to emote. Unfortunately, I’m still trying to figure it out. I have to practice a lot at home [in front of a mirror]. It makes me feel really weird because you have to stare in the mirror and make different expressions and do different poses. Then, when you think you’ve got it, you go in and show your agent and they’re still not satisfied. So it’s a lot of work. XIONG: Do you think having a photographic background helps you when you’re in front of the camera? LLOYD: Definitely.Yeah, because I’ve worked with people too and I know things I would want if I were taking the photo like even if I feel sort of self conscious being in front of the camera I know that I have to try to get over that like from standing behind the camera I know that it’s frustrating for the photographer. XIONG: [I think that’s a plus that you have because you went through photography so you understand and you have the experience of being behind the camera.] LLOYD: Well I also know a lot about light, I also know how light falls. So I would know how to face the light a little better. It’s sort of [I hope] second nature. XIONG:What type of magazines do you look at in regards to poses and styling for inspiration? LLOYD: Vogue. [laughs] I think Elle also has some great things. Well actually, even more artistic magazines like Interview really interest me. XIONG: Are you currently signed with any modeling agencies? Or do you have an agent? LLOYD:Yeah, I just signed with Modelogic Wilhelmina Midwest last month. It is really exciting, but a lot of hard work. Like I said earlier, it is weird to stare at yourself in a mirror for hours as you practice poses and emoting.
