Vanesa Sonea

She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Georgia State University. I'm not sure when she migrated to the United States, but her English doesn't have a noticeable non-Anglophone accent.

From her GDrive portfolio, bar the Heics and 1 photo of her hands (some are HQ; more models should make their work available in higher resolution - well done Vanesa):

Heics from her GDrive portfolio converted to jpeg level 95 encoded with the JpegLi codec using the program XL Converter (I had to use another program to convert to Tiff first since hardly anything on Windows PC supports heic encoded images; heics are essentially H.265 keyframes I believe):

Her GDrive is linked to in her Backstage portfolio if you want the un-reencoded heics.

My 4k lossless edit of Vanesa's walk plus her in the finale of the Golden Rose show in Atlanta from 2025:

Since Vanesa is from Romanian, I added some old music by a Romanian that I had in my music edits directory. It's very angry for classical music, but people apparently like 'high energy' music accompanying runway footage.

Raw vid caps from the key frames, this time saved as Jpeg quality 95 (a bit better than the crappy webp codec):

Youtube embeds. The first is Vanesa being interviewed at Atlanta shows in October 2024:

Posing Backstage at Atlanta, 2024:

Possibly the first time she was interviewed at a fashion show; she is initially distracted by the backstage chaos but recovers quickly.

A model agency video of her walking in the usual agency style black bikini, but usual for being filmed outdoors somewhere in suburbia.

I find her quite easy to recognize; there aren't too many models with Romanian ethnicity working in the United States. The piercing in her left nostril is sometimes occupied, but it isn't necessary to make her stand out from the other models.

Watermarked images of Vanesa's walk, plus one of the finale lineup:

I must confess, when I first saw a lower res from the show, which was the finale image, my eyes immediately focused on Vanesa, then leapt across to the other Romanian Andreea Dragoi, then slide to the model next to Andreea (update - Shawn Jewel), and finally I noticed Taylor Laffey half hidden in the second row. Where's Wally for models - I had been looking for images of Taylor earlier to bulk up the thread I commenced.

Vanesa walking with her comp card at a casting from 2024 (I discovered this looking through my unsorted videos collection):

I replaced the audio with some old Latin music (it was almost exactly the right length too).
