Where are you from? Where are you based now and do you travel for shoots?

I’m from London England. I’m living in the Tampa Bay, FL, area now.  My modeling career has taken me from Tampa to Aruba, Jamaica, Miami, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Toronto, Vancouver, San Diego, Paris and, London.

Who or what inspired you to become a model?

I was discovered on Facebook by a modeling agency and now I’m an internationally published model.

How and when did you start modeling?

I created a Model Mayhem account and almost immediately got an opportunity to shoot with a Playboy photographer, Steven Ruegnitz.

I have appeared on the covers of Playboy International 9 times, plus two pictorial features. I am honored and proud that I was selected for Playboy Playmate of the Year for Sweden 2019. I have also graced two FHM covers. Along with this, I have appeared on approximately 40 covers in the last year, including glamour, fashion, fitness, and swimwear.

What type of modeling do you enjoy the most?

I’ve been very successful shooting glamour, fashion, fitness, boudoir, and swimwear. I like glamour the most.

What do you look for when deciding to work with a photographer?

I look at their work and their portfolio. What magazines have they been published in? If their work meets my quality standards then we talk to see if we have good communication and share a common vision.

Which models or other artists currently inspire you?

I’m constantly looking at the work of other models and artists. I may find something that inspires me to do something new or better. I don’t want to be like anyone else.

What would be your dream shoot?

The swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated or Maxim Australia.

How important is social media in your success?

Model Mayhem has given me most of my publishing opportunities.  Instagram has fallen on a sword since they got bought by Facebook.

What else do you like to do outside of modeling?

Working out, beach days, exploring new cities and restaurants. I also enjoy track days, spa days, and fashion.

What’s the best career advice you can give to new models?

Be brave and go for it. You can do anything you want. At the same time, check out the photographer and trust your instincts. Just because they want to shoot with you, it doesn’t mean they are professional. Bring your own agreement to the shoot that spells out what you expect of the photographer and what he can expect of you. Many “guys with a camera” will say this is a “standard photographer agreement.” What they mean is that this is an agreement they found on the internet that gives the photographer all of the rights to the photos.
