My name is Amy-lee and 19 years of age. I am from South Africa, Cape Town, born and raised here. I am my mother's second eldest daughter.
So, when I describe myself, I'd like to say that I am different from most girls my age. I am very outspoken and talkative type of girl. I like meeting new people and interacting. I love exploring and try new things. Mainly I love family time because I get to bond with them. Also, when I have alone time, I'd choose to just stay in bed to read or watch movies. I love reading, cooking and bonding with children. I believe what makes me different to some others is I don't do clubbing or parties. I don't have many friends because I have this fear of trusting people. I am good at communicating with people and very active listener. Apart from being adventurous or bring indoors I also love dancing and singing. I use to be a Latin ballroom dancer.
So, I've recently joined GlamStyleModel Agency and as far as working with them it’s been amazing. With my 1st ever photoshoot it's been the best experience. At first, I thought that I wouldn't meet their standards / requirements and that I would make mistakes. I thought that I wouldn't be confident or comfortable. It turned out that for being the first time in front of a camera. I was so confident and comfortable with doing what was required or expected from me. I felt even more comfortable in my own skin. My photographer's name is Chad and since day 1 he has been the most supportive and amazing person. He isn't only there for me as my photographer but also there to guide and teach me things. Some of the new skills my photographer is teaching me is photography, assistant and managing new models, networking with clients and setting up meetings and shoots.
Reasons as to why I'd like to be a successful model it's because I love fashion and new trends. I always dreamt about being a fashion model, modelling for clothing stores or makeup brands. My strengths are that I don't give up easily; when I put my mind to something I continue and show determination. My weaknesses are that I hate arguing. I tend to go silent when one breaks out. What I fear the most is being judge very ugly from a next person. I tend to let what people say affect me mentally. But I'm still in the process of learning to not care what others have to say. Leaving then to judge me and show them in the end.
