 Model: Kathleen Thuli110, 34-24-34, born in Rome, NY 23, 5"4,




Shanghai: When did you decide you wanted to be a model?
There was never really a defining moment for me. It was something I kind of fell into at a young age but have always been passionate about. By 17 I was published, and by 18 I was doing several shoots a week. When I hit 20, I decided I needed a little break from the industry and have recently gotten back into beauty and fashion.
Shanghai: What has been you best model experience?
My best experiences have come through the relationships I've built. I feel very blessed to have worked with some amazing photographers, several of whom have become close friends.
Shanghai: Single? Married?
Happily married! It was strange at first, but only because the industry was new to my husband. He has been very supportive and loves to see the results of the creative process. One thing that helps with modeling while in a relationship is being picky. I have learned to be very careful with whom I choose to work and, as a result, have never had a shoot I was uncomfortable with. Quality over quantity - even if its a paid job!
Shanghai: Is modeling your only job?
Modeling is not my only job, though it should always be taken seriously. Currently, my full-time job is under the title of 'pregnant wife'!
Shanghai: What is your favorite asset?
My eyes, though my husband would disagree and say that it should be my smile.
Shanghai: Where can everyone follow you?

Shanghai: Can you describe your photography style?
   BNP: My photography style, I would say, is fashion with a touch of fantasy. I try to make all of my imagery dreamlike.

Shanghai: What is your least fav thing to shoot?
BNP: 
Well, I don't really shoot anything if I greatly dislike it. The "least fun" work that I do is probably product photography - but I also feel immensely lucky and grateful to have steady work with corporations.

Shanghai:Is there a photographer that inspires you?

 BNP: There are a so many photographers who inspire me in different ways. I absolutely love Kirsty Mitchell's art.

Shanghai: What inspires your work?

 BNP: My conceptual work is often influenced by mythology, fairy tales, fashion eras/icons.

Shanghai: Where can we follow your work?

Shanghai: What has been you best model experience?
Johannie:  Being scouted to be in Inked Magazine and Inked Girls Magazine

Shanghai:  What is your favorite asset?
Johannie: I really think my face is my best asset. Everything else I have to work extra hard on... haha

Shanghai: What do most ppl assume about you that isn't true?

 Johannie: That I'm in porn. That I'm a escort, stripper, etc. At first, it was annoying but now I just laugh about it and remind myself that people will say and do just about anything to upset you and make themselves feel better.


Shanghai: What advice would you give an aspiring model?

Johannie: First, acknowledge if your look is something that is marketable. Turn yourself into a business and not just a pretty face and last but not least, stay motivated and don't get anyone take advantage of you.






Makesure to follow Johannie:
