Model to Watch For…

 Armed
 with
 beauty,
 intelligence,
 and

height,
  Saskia
  Egdmann
  credits
  a
  friend
  for

starAng
  her
  modeling
  career
  as
  a
  teen
  in

Germany.

  “When
  I
  was
  a
  teenager,
  my
  good

friend
  at
  the
  Ame
  was
  really
  into

photography,”
 she
 explained.
 “One
 day
 she

asked
  me
  if
  I
  could
  pose
  for
  her
  for
  some

pictures.
 We
 dressed
 up,
 I
 did
 my
 own
 hair

and
 make
 up
 and
 we
 looked
 up
 a
 great
 sight

for
 our
 photo
 shoot.
 I
 had
 the
 best
 Ame.
 “

  It
  was
  so
  much
  fun
  geong
  into

di?erent
  characters,
  poses
  and
  emoAons

that
  could
  be
  captured
  in
  pictures,
  that

Saskia
 decided
 to
 dive
 into
 modeling.

  “A[er
  I
  shot
  twice
  with
  her,
  I

submi]ed
 my
 pictures
 to
 a
 model
 agency
 in

Germany.
  They
  loved
  my
  look
  and
  booked

me
 for
 a
 couple
 of
 casAngs
 within
 a
 week.

  States,

Saskia
  uploaded
  pictures
  to
  social
  network

pages,

agencies,

  “A
  photographer
  I
  worked
  with
  in

Germany

 have
 had
 so
 many
 great

 great
 people,”
