>>> to put me down by insulting my work. It's a special kind of ignorance they have.
Tell us about a favourite shoot you've done.
If I had to pick, it would be the shoot I did with Twiggy Ramone and GT3 photography "Leave a scar".
I was working with amazing people and just having a great time, there are shots were I had to whip Twiggy and they told me to go soft and slow...I kept hitting her full on, she just turned to me and said, in a thick German accent,"Ya, you'll get your turn" and quite frankly, I did.
How has modelling changed other aspects of your life?
It hasn't really changed much, honestly, I’ve lost a few friends along the way but my true friends are still here cheering me on.
The concepts of your work - Is it a team effort between you and the photographer or do you choose a photographer whose work fits an idea you have?
Sometimes it's a team effort other times it's all me, but no matter whose concept it is there are always ideas being thrown around.
If you could shoot with any photographer who would it be and why?
I'd really like to work with Kyle Thompson, I really just love his work.
Are there any kind of modelling you won't want to do and why?
I tend not to do nude, just out of personal preference. Other models are ok with it and I don't judge them at all, it's just not me.
Who or what inspires you?
I get inspiration from a whole bunch of different places, I can't really pin it down to one.
How would you describe the clothes you wear in daily life?
Black. Haha.
I tend to wear my PJs when I can which include some not very alternative guy pants but that’s all down to the fact I have eczema and loose cotton clothes feel nicer on my skin.
Any upcoming projects we should look out for?
At the moment I’m taking a bit of a break, I've just finished paying off a new camera and I’m going to be playing on the other side for a while.
I might feature some of that on my page though.
What advice to you have for aspiring models?
Just have fun and be yourself, because at the end of the day it’s about enjoying what you do.
