How do you communicate with people? Are you patient? Are you friendly? How open are you to clients’ requirements?

I think I have good communication skills, I'm patient and friendly. This I learned when I was a theatre dancer where I needed to be very disciplined. Now I can use this quality well good.

ILDI HIDASI

Do you eat nutritiously? How often do you exercise or go to the gym?

From my early years I always tried to live the healthiest life as possible, eat fresh, and do sports. Nowadays pilates is my favourite one. :)

Tell us about yourself: Why do you want to work as a model?

Why are you interested in modelling as a career?

A few years ago I worked as a dancer, and I really missed the stage, thats why I started modeling. It's a little bit like I were on stage again. It's very exciting for me that I can get to meet and know new, and very talented people. The commercials are my favourite because I love to act, but I also like photoshootings. Each work is exciting for me because I can get into different characters every time.

How important is modelling education: Have you attended modelling courses? What related courses or studies have you taken?

I think the modelling tuition is really important, because learning the foundations of any job you do gives you the set of skills needed to do well and progress in your work. When I started modeling I also completed a modeling course, and I feel it is very useful.

What is your dream role as a model?

My biggest dream is to be the face of a big cosmetic company, or participate in a movie, because I love to do acting so much.

Do you have any limitations? How do you define your boundaries when choosing to accept a modelling request?

I like to push my boundaries because that way I can see how far can I go. I think you can reach anything you want if you have enough intrepidity. ;)

State your availability: Would you travel? Work full-time, part time?

Any hours?

I like and can travel, and I could work as a full-timer. A few months ago I was in Japan as a model for 3 months, and that was my most memorable experience. :)

What do you think makes someone “fit” to be a model?

I think the positive attitude is much more important than anything else. You can have a perfect 'model body', but it's worthless without kindness and positive aura. I don't mean that you don't need to work on your appearance, but you always need to work on your inner self too.

What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progressing in this field?

Every job what I get is a big success for me. It's always a great honor for me if somebody wants to work with me.

What do you know about advertising psychology and photography?

The most important thing what I learned is that sometimes you don't need to think too much when you don't get the job, move forward with the same enthusiasm, because sometimes your character doesn't fit the job.

What fascinates you about modelling?

I am a 24 year old model and musician from Jersey (Channel Islands). I have been featured in vogue Italia and dark beauty mag. I have been supported on stage many artists like JLS, Jess Glyne, Fleur East and more.

How important is modelling education: Have you attended modelling courses? What related courses or studies have you taken?

No I'm afraid I haven't, just trying to learn as much as I can along the way.

www.in stagra m.com/ chaz_c hapma n/ What do you think makes someone “fit” to be a model?

I think everyone is beautiful in their own way, but to be a model you need to be bold, push yourself, work hard, stay fit, look after yourself and be fun. A lot of people think you just stand in front of a camera but only people involved know what it really takes.

What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progressing in this field?

My goals would be to work with the biggest brands, feature in the biggest magazines and to meet new people and make new friends along the way.

How do you communicate with people? Are you patient? Are you friendly? How open are you to clients’ requirements?

One of the things I enjoy the most in this industry is meeting new people, good memories and making new friends along the way. I will make my self available for any shoots I get offered, we'll try.

Do you eat nutritiously? How often do you exercise or go to the gym?

I eat very clean eating 4-5 meals a day. Weight train 5 times a week and box 3 times a week. Love my sport and staying fit.

What is your dream role as a model?

Dream role would be to be the face of Calvin Klein one day.

Do you have any limitations? How do you define your boundaries when choosing to accept a modelling request?

I like to try and take on as many different shoots as possible.

The only shoot I wouldn't do is completely naked I think.

State your availability: Would you travel? Work fulltime, part time? Any hours?

My dream would be to work as a model full time. I am willing to work as hard and as much as possible to make my dreams come true. Traveling is not a problem, I like to travel and see what the world has to offer.

KAREN
 http:// PATMAS karen patma s.com Accomplishments so far in Modeling: My accomplishments so far in modeling are a combination of work I have done and invaluable experiences that enhanced personal growth and development. I have a strong belief that regardless of how experienced and developed our career may be, there is always room for more learning and developing. Personal development is a never-ending process, we are changing daily. It is up to the individual to choose if that change is in a positive direction or not.

I have appeared in several advertisements, been a brand ambassador for an athletic clothing company, acquired two local agents, mentored a group of models in the Northwest, have done model scouting, and been a talent director. I have also recently added a brand manager.

What I have been up to since last time we spoke?

I have been traveling the world and enjoying it fully! Being in the industry as a model and as a scout and talent director has been amazing. I enjoy both. When I decided to “leave” the healthcare industry to pursue my passion of modeling fulltime, I learned that I still had my heart in both places and that I didn’t have to leave one profession behind to start another. My career just started to naturally develop to include both skillsets and I am loving it! I have been modeling and growing my network which is crucial in this industry. I am a people person so it’s also fun for me. I travel often to scout in different cities and countries with my Preview Models “family” and have been able to utilize my skills in working with people as a therapist for many years. It just comes naturally every weekend when I get to talk to these young women about their dreams, goals and the training that is involved when they are chosen and registered for one of our productions. There is also a lot of skill in getting 100 models through the stressful experience and back stage intensity to be in the right outfit, at the right place and overcome the nerves for what is sometimes their first professional fashion show. I love to see the look of utter joy and amazement when those models get on that runway when just a few months before it was just a dream.

My take on the most recent trends: It is wonderful that the industry is reducing some restrictions that have prevented many women from being able to be a model. It seems like a better approach to advertising. There is more trust in a product when a consumer relates to the model in the advertisement.

Recently, Tyra Banks lifted the age restriction for America’s Top Model. I also look forward to continued industry evolution. I have done a lot of print work and have a tall look, yet I am not a 6-foot-tall high fashion model. Roughly 95% of women are 5 foot 7 and below. It would enhance selling to the majority of the population to have runway models consumers can relate to. There are many women like myself that are not 6 feet tall but have a long leg look to show off clothes on the runway and in print. I believe that a woman who is 5’ 6” will relate better to a similar size model than to the typical high fashion model standing around 6 foot tall. I am looking forward to the

http:// karen patma s.com modeling industry to continue to become even more inclusive.

4. Did you attend any Fashion Week events recently? What was it like?

Yes, I attended a recent fashion week in Los Angeles, “For the Love of Fashion” at the Beverly Hills Hilton. There were absolutely beautiful designs and beautiful models walking the runway. It was a pleasure to be able to sit back and relax in the audience after recently being in the hustle and bustle of directing back stage recently.

5. Have you worked with any exciting fashion creatives or artists recently?

Yes, in the recent show I helped direct. In March I found myself in an exciting place in my career. Through working with Preview Models, one of the roles I have is Talent Director. I was directing almost 100 models and 6 fashion designers back stage of our Hollywood production. It was not only incredibly fun and exciting for me, I was able to work with amazing LA designers. These designers are not only creative, producing beautiful work, they are also passionate and wonderful people to work with. They were fantastic with our models. One was LA Fashions. Their gorgeous dresses caught my eye and seeing how much I liked one of them, I had a dress hemmed and ready to wear by the time the production weekend was over with a scheduled photo shoot and plans for a couple custom made dresses. Which I may be wearing one of the custom designs as I help direct our next Hollywood Production in June at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood.

6. What are your plans for the next 12 months?

My plans are to continue to grow professionally and continue to inspire other women. I am now working with a brand manager to enhance my global brand. I plan to increase my social media following to 100,000 and more.

http:// karen patma s.com

I am considering opening a model management company in Los Angeles with Josh Weinstein (owner of Preview Models). I plan to have some unique feature and benefits for our clients.

I am continuing to pursue my modeling and increase my appearances in magazines and print.

I am also currently collaborating with Steve Gold and Anthony Whittaker, founders of Steel Standing Charity Foundation in New York. I plan to continue to work with them to grow the foundation to enable it to provide more charity support for those impacted by 911.

I want to increase my presence in the Markets of LA, New York, and internationally.

7. Have your goals changed since we interviewed you last?

I have met some of my original goals and now my goals are more expanded in scale

Photographer: Aslhie Stolberg In these two photos I am wearing a t-shirt design by Preview Models. I was a model on the runway for Preview Models a year ago and I am now working for the Preview Model production company as a Talent Director. The t shirt is exclusive to Preview Model production weekends. Models that walk the runway are given a t shirt and families that are with the models are given an opportunity to buy a t-shirt that weekend. Each show has a new set of designed t-shirts.

I love being able to model and also direct and mentor models. Working for Preview models has brought me a lot of joy to be able to travel with the team to different cities and countries to scout models that may not otherwise get this opportunity. I am also very passionate about directing Hollywood fashion shows. It is incredibly exciting to be backstage directing a major production of nearly 100 models and half a dozen designers. It is a great feeling of teamwork and fulfillment when the show runs smoothly.

and scope.

I have also enjoyed networking and developing professionally as I work with the amazing Preview Models team. It is a treasure to find a team of people so compassionate about their work and also to become more of a “family’ than just co workers. Josh Weinstein, the owner has put together an incredible team that includes Nick Raines, National Director, and Dirk Plumiere, talent director. Brittany Sharaun, Don Benjamin, and Laura James from Americas Top Model are very inspirational to work with.

8. What is your most memorable experience in the industry so far?

One of my most memorable experiences so far is being on the runway for Preview Models in one of their Hollywood fashion productions. Now I have the added thrill of directing the models backstage in the recent March production. Building your career is important but being able to have cherished memories while knowing that you are doing what you love to do is even better. Careers and day to day routines go by and eventually what you have left are the memories that last a lifetime.

I am an brand Ambassador for Elite Fitness Apparel and am used in their advertising on their social media.

I do have to add that it has been an honor and definitely one of my most memorable experiences to be in the first issue and several after of the Modelcitizensapp magazine and now returning for a feature is exciting and very much appreciated.

9. Do you have any recommendations for aspiring models who want to make it big in the fashion industry?

Yes, I have a lot of advice for aspiring models. I will summarize a few: I recommend some basic tips for models on an audition. Always bring a printed headshot with your name on it. Be prepared and follow directions. Have a professional attitude. These seem simple but I see many people showing up with no printed headshot.

Remember the person you are auditioning with is

seeing hundreds of other models too and you want them to remember who you are with a photo to go with the name.

Another recommendation for aspiring models is to have a support system and be mentally prepared that it does not happen overnight. There will be many no’s and not to get discouraged. Its sounds easy until you get to the no’s and that’s where the support system is crucial. It’s also important to know that all careers take investment of time and money. I audition hundreds of models almost every weekend and still see the ones that are not realistic about the hard work and investment it takes to get into the industry. You are not going to walk in without experience and make a million dollars the next day. If you work hard at developing yourself and are determined then you will get somewhere. It is just a matter of deciding that is your dream and that is truly what you want to do, then do it and go for your dreams and passion.

There is the need to be careful regarding scams. Sometimes all that comes across to a new model is “don’t pay for anything”. Let me clarify. Life is not free and yes you don’t pay to have an agent. An agent does get paid a percent. If they did not get paid there would be no money to run the agency. However, also realize that there are more than agents. There are agents, managers, publicists, production companies and training. I paid for modeling school just as a I paid for my Masters degree education.. I paid to take the test and get my clinical license.

Paying for training, opportunities, development, social marketing, managers and services is also a significant part of

http:// karen patma s.com

the career. Then there is upkeep. As a model, you need to be taking good care of yourself; hair, nails, working out, eating and sleeping. That may seem like a lot. But, if you break down any career and what you need to do to accomplish success – it will have a long list. Being a model isn’t just waking up and getting out of bed. There is work to do and investments to make just like any career. It is also important to do some strategic planning as you should in any career on how you plan to accomplish that goal and dream of yours.

http:// karen patma s.com

Navigating the industry as you develop is not always simple. Trust your instinct. I can’t emphasize that enough. That is coming from the experiences I have had and was lucky enough to have some wonderful friends in the industry that are truly good people. One situation happened to be someone that developed a team of myself and a couple other significant individuals. I spent a lot of time on this project only to have the main person turn out to not be honest. The good news is that sometimes there can be positives that turn out of negatives.

Luckily, a couple of people I met through that situation that are very significant with many accomplishments in the industry are now wonderful friends that I have joined on some other projects.

The other situation is that I fell for was thinking someone in the industry was helpful but realized he was a “has been” striving to take advantage of people. I had some red flags about his aggressive, hostile controlling ways when speaking to him. When declining to sign a contract which would have given him control over me, he vindictively tried to go after my personal life which is why I

keep that very

separate from my professional career.

10.How has being featured in a magazine helped you with your career?

The magazine has helped my career by giving me more exposure and printed resume work. Having something in print and being able to hand someone a magazine you are in is an incredible way to market yourself as a model and show how well you look in a magazine. I love print work, so for me it’s the ultimate highlight when I get to be selected for print work. I love the art and creativity of doing photoshoots.

This magazine has now traveled the world with me. I bring examples of my work when I travel with Preview Models nationally and internationally and people love this magazine! It is also great to be a part of something that you know the owners

Ken Weingart is an award winning photographer in Los Angeles who has photographed many celebrities such as Joni Mitchell, Leonardo DeCaprio and more.

Have you ever done a course and where did you do the course? Who have you worked for that you could tell your future clients that you are so proud of?

Already realizer courses in major academies of Europe, among them: Sasson Academy, Toni & Guy and Serville. I worked for 10 years as Brazil education manager for Wella brands, Sebastian, Clairol and Nioxin.

What is THE hottest hair trend at the moment? If you had to create a hairstyle for Jennifer Lopez according to the shape of her face, which style would you go for?

The hottest trend is one that values the face trough the contours, using tones within the metallic palettes of brondes. The J Lo has a diamond shape, this format is important to value lines that move with more rounded and fluid forms, as to color a mix of brown chocolate can bring harmony to your ton of golden skin. And can illuminate with contour rovings in bronze tone and hazelnut.

Which hair product do you think every women should have? What are your goals for the future? Can we expect a product line from you?

Every woman needs to have a good hair finisher to help her get the hair you want. I want to share my knowledge with many hairdressers through seminars that desire to minister and trough of videos on the Internet. I have no project to launch a product for hair, but my goal is to create an education brand.

Tell us about yourself: Why do you want to work as a model? Why are you interested in modelling as a career?

I have barely started modeling and I absolutely love it. There is so much emotion you can physically express. I love the creativity that goes into each shoot the makeup, the sets, all of the poses and it all comes together in one.

All of the people you meet along the way is pretty amazing too it's never bad to meet new people. I just feel that modeling provides a lot of opportunity in all different aspects. I would want nothing more than to succeed in this industry.

How important is modelling education: Have you attended modelling courses? What related courses or studies have you taken?

No I have never taken any type of classes related to modeling.

What do you think makes someone “fit” to be a model?

I think there are alot of things that could make someone fit to be a model.

Personality is a big part of course it's better to have an open personality to easily vibe with others to produce better shots and just make it more comfortable all around. Then again all models are different and have unique styles. They could be quite and take beautiful photos. It all depends on the look the artist is going for.

What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progressing in this field?

I honestly don't know how far I could go ,but I would want to make it far enough to travel around and try all different areas of modeling. My goal would just want to collaborate with as many people as possible get the most experience out of it.

Do you have any knowledge of the advertising industry?

I do understand how to appeal to the public. People like to see new and different but there must also be a balance of what they would like to see. Modeling is about selling the product you have to work with it and make it appealing. I feel that it is pretty general it's all about advertisement and putting it out there. As far as photography it's all in the angles.

How do you communicate with people? Are you patient? Are you friendly? How open are you to clients’ requirements?

I feel that I very good with communicating with others I love meeting new people and being in new environments. How would life be fun if it was always the same? I definitely have patience, because after all anything good takes time. I am very open to mostly all ideas the more creativity the better!

Do you eat nutritiously? How often do you exercise or go to the gym?

In my life nutrition is a very important part. A healthy body is a happy body. I'm vegetarian/borderline vegan ,so that alone keeps my body tight and toned. :) I don't really go to the gym but I do have an active lifestyle. I cruise on my board, play soccer, yoga, go run , or whatever comes up.:)

What is your dream role as a model?

I don't believe I have one yet. I just want to see where the road takes me.

Do you have any limitations? How do you define your boundaries when choosing to accept a modelling request?

The only limitation I find in myself is my back. I had scoliosis when I was younger now I have a scar straight down my back from the top to the bottom. This also limits me from being about to bend my back. My boundaries would have to just be the style I would say I just wouldn't do any adult shoots.

State your availability: Would you travel? Work full-time, part time? Any hours?

Currently I go to school three days a week on Mondays, Wednesday's ,and Thursdays. I am able to/would travel, I have reliable transportation.

Tell us about yourself: Why do you want to work as a model? Why are you interested in modelling as a career?

I catch myself day dreaming most of the day. Most of those day dreams are of me on a runway or posing in front of a camera. This is something I wanted to do since I was a very young girl. Modeling gives me a purpose, another reason to live, and once I lived my dream it will give me a feeling of great satisfaction. I can come out a bit shy at first however, it won't last long. The reason for my shyness I believe is lack of confidence at times. Life has

https:// www.instag ram.com/ joselynra mosss/

taught me that anything you want you can achieve, All you have to do is believe in yourself and never lose faith. In my hands is my destiny and I will make sure my journey is worth living.

How important is modelling education: Have you attended modelling courses? What related courses or studies have you taken?

As a young girl I did attend several modeling schools. At the end I did learn a thing or two however It was not worth the money my parents had to pay. I felt like I was taken advantage of. Currently one of my agencies offer training which is very helpful and vital to become a successful model.

What do you think makes someone “fit” to be a model?

If it's your passion, If it makes your heart skip a beat and you are willing to do anything to get there then you my friend are fit to be a Model.

What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progressing in this field?

My goal is to travel the world as a model and inspire and motivate those around me to believe in themselves. If I can doit anyone can doit. Life is beautiful and an amazing opportunity that was given to us therefore, we have to give it all we got and most importantly live in the now, not the past o the future but in the now.

What do you know about advertising psychology and photography?

I am sort of a new face to the modeling world, On advertisement I don't know much. Well I do know this, Not everything is what it seems like.

How do you communicate with people? Are you patient?

Are

you

friendly?

How

open

are

you

to

clients’

requirements?

I consider myself to be friendly and aware of others feelings. I've learned to become more patient, That's the only way to go. My main goal is to always keep a client happy.

Do you eat nutritiously? How often do you exercise or go to the gym?

https:// www.instag ram.com/ joselynra mosss/

I love food, Food is life lol. My body has always been naturally slim. I do

however try to stay healthy and workout at least three times a week and no I don't diet. My secret is eating small portions and several times a day.

What is your dream role as a model?

My dream role as a model would be to walk on a Victoria Secret Fashion Show.

Do you have any limitations? How do you define your boundaries when choosing to accept a modelling request?

My limitations depend on my intuition. Boundaries, Hmmmm I'm pretty easy to work with. As long as I'm treated with respect and feel secure there will not be any boundaries.

State your availability: Would you travel? Work full-time, part time? Any hours?

Traveling has always been one of my most desired goals. If I had to chose I would prefer part time.

What is your most memorable experience so far? Â My journey so far has been a bit challenging. For some time I decided to leave my modeling dream aside and settle for regular 9-5 jobs. It made me feel very miserable and unhappy, I figured that was not the life I wanted to live. A challenging journey is a good journey because it teaches us to never give up and it makes the reward much more meaningful. I currently reside in NYC I'm available to work anytime during the week.

Tell us about yourself: Why do you want to work as a model? Why are you interested in modelling as a career?

www.in stagra m.com/ ulovea rw/

I would love to opportunity to work as a model in order to further advance my platform of self love, freedom and healing. I've recently discovered how empowering being on either side of a lens can be and it has refuelled me to begin a campaign. So many of us look at the

"regular standard" for

modeling and fail to see

beauty in the uniqueness of

others. I want to recreate and

bring out a genuine love for self

and all of who we are as people. I never

in a million years imagined I would be

confident enough to pose for photographers and

actually LOVE the outcome. I want others to experience that

confidence boost and that empowerment to love self! I secretly want to

have my art tell a story of my journey to self love and embracing who I am

authentically. And something interesting or inspiring, I believe that journal writing can heal ones soul and free them to become who they were designed to be. Also, I love Jesus and I am a firm believer that people can be sexy and still love God! :D

How important is modelling education: Have you attended modelling courses? What related courses or studies have you taken?

Modeling education is so very important. I feel that for those who want to pursue runway and print, courses are vital to make sure they are trained appropriately. While I've only attended one class following a casting call, I gained an understanding of the importance of guidance. I also believe and have been able to experience it personally, that whoever we are, whatever poses we create, however our limbs fall, that's beautiful in and of itself. I've simply jumped into this world without training and I've loved and enjoyed the outcome. I'm able to see how classes and more education would and could further my career.

What do you think makes someone “fit” to be a model?

In order for someone to be "fit" to be a model, they have to be themselves and own every part of their shoot. There is no particular body type, skin tone or hair style that would make one "fit". I think it's about them taking all of who they are internally and displaying it externally and connecting with others who may look, feel, think they way they do.

What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progressing in this field?

I love this

question!! My goals as a model are to encourage and inspire young girls and women of all ages to love themselves and those things they've considered

www.in stagra m.com/ ulovea rw/

"flaws" for most of their life. I want people to embrace their inner and authentic beauty and be empowered to be all of who they are. I want to shatter that typical image of models and destroy the negative mindsets

most times associated with models. I see myself progressing my standing

on my platform of unity, freedom and love for every inch of self.

What do you know about the advertising industry?

I do not know a ton about the advertisement industry, advertising psychology and

photography. What I've been able to gain is that if people see someone who looks like them...someone they can connect to, they are more than likely to purchase a product, visit a business, or get more involved. Color schemes, body imagery, and presence are huge in either of those areas.

How do you communicate with people? Are you patient? Are you friendly? How open are you to clients’ requirements?

I feel as though I communicate with people so very well. I consider myself friendly, open, honest, patient, giving and kind. Respect is a large factor for me and I find myself giving respect more often than not with an understanding that others may not always be willing or capable to do the same.

Do you eat nutritiously? How often do you exercise or go to the gym?

I am currently in the process of creating a work out regime that works for me. I'm learning the importance of being fit, eating properly and am currently educating myself on the benefits and how tos of exercise and eating nutritiously.

What is your dream role as a model?

My dream role as a model is to inspire and empower. I do have a passion for laughter and comedy and would love to star in a play, film, movie at some point.

Do you have any limitations? How do you define your boundaries when choosing to accept a modelling request?

I think the primary limitation is my unwillingness to pose nude and have it broadcast. I do believe that my body is solely reserved for that of my husband and would not feel comfortable having it displayed all over the world.

State your availability: Would you travel? Work full-time, part time? Any hours?

Currently, I have a very open schedule. I do have volunteer commitments I have made and will stick with those. I consider myself a PTM (part time model) for the time being.

"I'VE MET THE MOST IMPORTANT OF MY GOALS WHICH IS TO SHOWCASE THE TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL CARIBBEAN MODELS THROUGH MY PHOTOS."

G

How did you get to where you are now in your career?

I've started photography 3 years ago with the strong belief that I needed to express my feelings and emotions through photos. I never gave up on things. I've trusted my vision.

Now I have my own models and fashion magazine called EYE CATCHER. Caribbean women are very inspiring to me.

What is your opinion on modeling education?

I didn't attend any modelling courses either photography courses. I'm a self-taught photographer.

What person has been your inspiration in life? Who is your hero?

My parents are both my inspiration and my heroes for many reasons. Africa is a source of inspiration as well..

Do you feel like you've met your goals?

I've met the most important of my goals which is to showcase the talented and beautiful Caribbean models through my photos. My other important goal was to have my own models and fashion magazine that I've met too.But each photo shoot is a new adventure, a new challenge and I love the idea of being better. Each photo shoot is a living lesson. I'm not working for personal success. I'm not into fame at all. I am just a lover of life.

What is your most memorable experience so far?

I really enjoy every time I work with the model named Nathyrelle. She is so creative, she is a positive woman with a beautiful soul. I'm amazed by her creativity every time we shoot together.

If you had to do it over again, what would you change?

Nothing at all.

Do you have any tips?

Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams, make them come true, work hard, never stop practicing, do what you love with all your heart. And be positive and happy.

How do you stay inspired?

The colors of life and the beautiful models keep me inspired

What photography related things do you recommend?

I don't really have tips. Feeling the vibes is my main photography tip

What's your favourite camera?

Nikon d7200.

Natalija Ugrina

Tell us about yourself: Why do you want to work as a model? Why are you interested in modelling as a career?

I've been modeling since I was 15. I was already very tall at that age so it was my natural path.

How important is modelling education: Have you attended modelling courses? What related courses or studies have you taken?

I attended Midiken Model Academy in Croatia at the age of 14 and learned to rock the runway!!

What do you think makes someone “fit” to be a model?

Be fierce, stand out and shine from the inside.

What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progressing in this field?

My goal is to work as much as possible. I lived in Italy and did most of the big runways around Europe.. I want to do more commercial and print work at the moment.

What do you know about advertising psychology and photography?

I think it's crucial in times when social media is so important. You have to see yourself as a brand.

How do you communicate with people? Are you patient? Are you friendly?

How open are you to clients’ requirements?

I am Gemini, therefore very communicative and social. I learned that being nice and friendly is a very important skill in life to move forward.

Do you eat nutritiously? How often do you exercise or go to the gym?

I am a Pesceterian and I eat very healthy. I never liked Sodas, Chips or candies so it was pretty easy for me. My only sin is that I am dedicated to cheese which is very bad for you if you eat it too much :). I am not very fond of the gym, but I love to swim, walk, run and play tennis.

What is your dream role as a model?

I'd love to be the face of a big brand.

Do you have any limitations? How do you define your boundaries when choosing to accept a modelling request?

I generally don't do nude, but I would do it if it's something that I see very artistic. I love playful photoshoots, shoots that are different then everything we see regular.

State your availability: Would you travel? Work full-time, part time? Any hours?

I am a full time model and actress, therefore I am free to travel and work all the time.

How did you get to where you are now in your career?

My first bigger earned money I spent for my first camera. Since 2013 I am freelancer and work as a project manager, web- and graphic designer and photographer. In 2014, I founded the photography and art portal www.mersicon.com, art collaboration MerisCon Art "Color your live", photo agency www.photoart-by-hari.com and now operates a gallery and photo studio in Germany and also in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

What is your opinion on modeling education?

For technology, I had always interests. As engineer electronic, computer scientist and as a multi-faceted creative; photography are unavoidable connection between the set worlds. When I combine art, web and graphic design, photos are the highest peaks of spiritual "ME" and my imaginary world.

What person has been your inspiration in life? Who is your hero?

My son, friends, profession, my parents and sister, my home, my models and my life.

Do you feel like you've met your goals?

My son Meris died three years ago. All what I do, I do for him. Today I am glad that I have managed that my son with MerisCon someho lives again.

Some photos are available on my PhotoART Shop as different products (stock-art, posters, stretched canvas, etc.).

So far, I have had three photo exhibitions. In planning is photo calendar, photo books and other printed products.

In any case, photography is my passion.
