Shelley

I really wanted to shoot at The Last Bookstore in LA for quite sometime now, I was looking for a model to bring with me and found Shelley's page I asked her immediately and she said yes to do the collab shoot. I learned that she works for a studio company and basically helps run shows that we watch on TV or something like that. I also learned that she started modeling at some car shows and does modeling for stock photography, I mean that's cool right?

Check out the interview and photo gallery below and make sure to follow her as well!

Q: How do you describe yourself in three words?

A: Three words to describe me are responsible, passionate, and caring.

Q: How and when did you started modeling?

A: I started modeling for fun in 2015, after a photographer friend of mine asked if I was available to shoot with some cars. So, my start to modeling was actually import modeling!

Q: What is the best thing about modeling/ collabing with other creatives?

A: I think the best thing about modeling and collaborating with new people is getting different perspectives. I have my point of view, but often photographers have a completely different idea in mind, It challenges me and keeps thing creative.

Q: What is your biggest achievement as a model or in general?

A: I do a lot of stock photography modeling, and have had my photos purchased by different people and brands. My biggest achievement as a model is when LinkedIn purchased my photo for one of their online advertisements.

Q: Who are your modeling inspo and creatives you wanna work with in the future?

A: I look up to Gina Rodriguez and Mindy Kaling. Not only are they powerful and successful women, but they're a great inspiration to minorities and prove that anything can be accomplished with hard work. They are both passionate about representation and that is something I really admire. It would be a dream to work with them somehow!

Q: Any future plans or goals with your modeling career?​

A: In the future I would love to do more commercial and catalog modeling. My dream would be to do online or print catalog ads for clothing brands.
