EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
How has your body changed since you wanted to be a model ?
I wanted to become a model when I discovered my body! What I mean by that is that I went through a rather drastic transformation when I arrived in Paris two years ago. I lost a lot of weight to find work and feel better about myself. After losing 20 kilos, then 40 kilos, I realized that something was unfolding, something different. And arriving at 50 kilos less after many physical efforts was not easy ! Yet this is who I am today.
Your muses?
I really like Cara Delevingne, some will say that it's a cliché as an answer but I really like what she gives off, and especially among all her Instagram photos which look really like a 15-year-old kid ! But when I see that, I see more of someone who really has fun in the modeling world and who knew how to make sense of things ! And in male type, I like Lucky Blue Smith.
Your relationship to the nude?
I didn't think it would be so easy to have to strip naked, especially in the face of several objectives riveted on oneself. But in reality it's only physical and mental preparation, and people present play a lot, through their work and their passion. Being originally a very complexed person, I still always have questions or anxieties_cc781905-5cde -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_!
What are you doing outside the picture ?
Apart from the photo, I am a Colorist Technician in two Toni & Guy hair salons in Paris. A passion that arose very early and which for 5 years has been making me eat and allowing me to have a roof over my head.
What type of photography do you like to do?
I really like fashion photos but also photos that have a real project with a real story, where everyone sees what they want to see and interprets the final photo in their own way, like a painting...
The ultimate bad taste?
The invention of ballerinas for girls! (Laughs)
What are the qualities of a good model?
A good model must necessarily have a certain size and a certain body to be able to make people want them. But above all, a real model, in my opinion, you can see it in her presence, her look, her way of dressing in value regardless of the situation.
What do you plan to do in the next ten years?
In ten years from now I would like to go through several agencies, travel, then retrain in the fashion world. Life allows us everything, you just have to give yourself the means.
Your greatest ambition as a model ?
Make the covers of major magazines, travel, learn languages, meet unexpected people, create a name for myself in this merciless environment !
