Ebonie’s
natural
talent
helps
her
stand
out
as
a
model,
Mangano
said.
“The
best
thing
about
working
with
Ebonie
is
that
she's
naturally
creaJve.
As
a
photographer
it's
refreshing
to
not
have
to
direct
the
model
at
all.
Her
poses
are
great,
she
shows
fantasJc
emoJon,
and
she
comes
up
with
fun
shoot
ideas...
Sort
of
like
a
muse!”
During
their
first
shoot,
however,
Dino
said
Ebonie
met
with
him,
and
then
drove
away!
“Funny
story:
the
first
shoot
we
did
was
in
an
open
field,”
Dino
explained.
“She
got
in
her
car
with
her
stylist,
and
they
were
going
to
follow
me
to
the
locaJon.
However,
as
I
began
pulling
out
of
the
parking
space,
I
saw
that
she
started
following
a
different
black
car
that
happened
to
be
leaving
the
parking
lot.’
Dino
did
his
best
to
stop
her.
”I
called
her
phone
but
it
wasn't
on
her.
So
I
just
sat
in
my
car
unJl
she
got
a
couple
miles
down
the
road
and
realized
she
was
following
the
wrong
car.
Oops!”
For
models
who
are
just
starJng
out,
Ebonie
said
that
although
she
is
fairly
new
to
the
industry,
she
would
offer
a
few
words
of
advice.
“Do
your
research
–
this
is
very
important
so
that
you
don’t
find
yourself
in
situaJons
you
don’t
want
to
be
in,”
she
said.
“Whether
it’s
a
company
trying
to
scam
you
or
a
photographer
who
is
in
it
for
the
wrong
reason.
I
also
do
research
to
prepare
for
photoshoots,
and
to
keep
up
with
new
styles
of
walks
for
runway
shows.”
Ebonie
also
advises
models
to
stay
sharp
and
network
during
event.
Gaining
an
appreciaJon
of
art
and
fashion
through
her
modeling
efforts,
Ebonie
said
she
likes
to
sew,
and
cut
and
Je
shirts
to
create
different
designs
with
them.
“I’m
also
very CH0
