Photography by Seth Kane In a few words, tell us a little bit about yourself? I’m a car enthusiast. I love cars all makes and models and I love racing. I’ve owned my track car for 8 years now and it wasn’t a running car when I purchased it. I learned patience, dedication and having confidence in myself through the entire process which really changed me for the better. To this day nothing makes me happier than driving my car and tweaking it. I love art and the only 2 types I find enjoyment in involves being behind the camera or in my garage. How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience. This shoot was actually my first one I’ve ever done. Seth reached out to me in hopes for something less commercial and more artistic which was exactly what I had in mind. Being a bit adventurous I wanted to find a grungy place to shoot and we got more than we bargained for with the Milshire hotel in chicago. Walking through the halls of the Milshire you will see 1960s wall paper melting from the walls, ripped up carpet, roaches scurrying, and doors wide open with someone shooting up heroine. Most people would be very turned off in this place but I was excited and I can’t explain why. The emotion you see in my face through these photos was real. It was me submersing myself into this atmosphere and embracing the art within it. All in all a really memorable experience. A model you particularly admire? I’d have to say Cindy Crawford. She’s created a brand for herself that timeless. Beauty goes beyond youth and she really shows that today. If you could choose, where would you like to shoot? The Abandoned Uptown Theater in Chicago. It’s a true piece of Chicago’s history and inside you’ll find gorgeous detailed painting on every wall and pillar, marble floors, and a grand double staircase draped with red carpet. It really looks like something out of a fairy tale and hardly anyone knows about it. What is your dressing style in everyday life? I work everyday in an office environment so it would be pencil skirt, sweater, some funky high heels (i just love shoes) and stockings. If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Japan hands down. I’m obsessed with their culture and food (I’m not just talking about sushi either). The race tracks, the city, the lights, the mountains and touges. It’s impossible to be bored in a place like Japan. What is happiness? I’ve come back to this question a bunch of times and my answer is finding someone who you can call your partner in crime and experiencing everything life has to offer with that person. What’s your next goal? Creating my brand in modeling. I really want to challenge myself in my shoots and create something different.
