“I’ve always felt that photography provides an opportunity for
staging, for telling a story through images. - I give myself a
literary frame, I tell a story. It’s the only springboard I have
found for taking a leap.” - Sarah Moon I’m the daughter of an
artist, as a child I would crawl around on the studio floor and play
around with paints, stencils, pastels anything that could produce a
tangible piece of art. To this day you’ll find me drawing, and
writing on anything I can get my hands on even a newspaper isn’t
safe with me. I believe that being a model is like being a silent film
actress. I always think of Theda Bara who produced well drawn out
emotions without saying a word. That’s what modeling is to me. I’m
a silent actress standing in front of your lens. You make me immortal
and I’ll draw out pieces of my soul that you can keep with you. I
believe that the relationship between model and photographer is
sacred, intimate and deeply romantic. If you are to take a photograph
of me I want us to communicate for you will take a piece of my soul
and it is only fair I have a little of yours. I will not work with
photographers who do not appreciate their subjects as I will become
frustrated and bored. I want to create and be created. If you respect
me I will always respect you. Take a picture and you’re in my heart
forever. I am someone who knows that life is short and precious and I
like to live in the moment opposed to living in the future or the
past. I love working with people who inspire and move me. I love to
dance to Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles but occasionally I
like a change and to get into the mood Etta James soothes me, Billy
Holiday moves me and Frank Sinatra well he’s just a classic and if
Ava loved him I have to. Based in New York, Paris, and Venice, Italy.
