I love the process - collaborating with the PHOTOGRAPHERS, traveling, and seeing different cultures. My MOTHER always said I WOULD REGRET it if I didn't do it. And I think she was right.
It's not my FAVORITE THING, PHOTOGRAPHERS on the street, they are not always very NICE to you. But, you just keep on walking.
I THINK the whole movement of #MeToo is not just calling out the sexual harassers, which is really important, but also crying out that we want EQUAL pay, equal REPRESENTATION, equal OPPORTUNITIES, and that we want to see more FEMALE directors and photographers.
'Instagram' doesn't exist in a VACUUM. We're not a bunch of siloed INDIVIDUALS. It's a bunch of people COMING together on topics, fashion, you KNOW, youthful teens, creatives, PHOTOGRAPHERS, foodies, everyone coming together and building a community around the things they love, communicating visually.
While in Paris, I got into MODELING - PHOTOGRAPHERS would LITERALLY stop me on the STREET.
For me, being able to say that my first-ever photo shoot was with one of the most well-known and iconic fashion PHOTOGRAPHERS in the WORLD is UNBELIEVABLE.
