Pleasantness Model: Naomi: | IG: @naomi.vanphotog: Photographer: Michael Knight Fotografia | IG: @michaelknightfotogafia Michael Knight A Master Of The Lense How long have you been a photographer? 8 years What’s the motivation behind your most recent shoots? I think the motivation behind my recent shoots is trying to master capturing my subjects in a voyeuristic manner. I like the idea/concept of it because it forces the viewer to be a witness to private moments of the subject one wouldn’t normally view or experience for that person. I been working with for awhile now and I still dont think Ive quite mastered it yet to the point that Im ready to move on. Growing up did you know you would get into photography? Not at all. Growing up, I was a traditional hand medium artist. Everything was created with paper and a pencil or something closely related. My Dad and Uncle were both photographers but I personally wasnt really exposed to working with a camera. In highlight of that, I took photographs for granted and didnt respect or value the artistry in it. I always, at that time, looked photography as a medium that anybody could do, lol. It wasnt until started exploring work with 3D, making CGI Stills, that I started to view photography totally different. Since I was working with programs like POSER & 3D Studio Max, my renderings were very photo realistic. I started to realize that I would reference alot of photographs for lighting, posing and composition. I started to becoming really intrigued with it to the point that I wanted to try and perhaps re-create some of my works in 3D with real people. Interview continued on page 70 Amy Nicole Moore Shot by Tony Piazza www.tonypiazzaphotography.com Know She Sexy How did you start modeling? I started modeling three years ago.

Instagram : amynicolem82 facebook.com/modelamynicole Twitter @modelamynicole Felicia Ann Is More Than Just A Sexy Face So tell us.. what do you do? I am a nurse. I work night shift on a telemetry unit which is mainly heart monitoring. How did you have the passion to finish nursing school? My father passed away when I was younger so I grew up with a single mother who is a nurse. Being around that strength and compassion made me want to be just like her. It was like no matter what happened, she could never stop spreading her positive energies around. It was powerful to me. Even though I was a huge “nerd” when it came to school work, nursing school was rough! If I didn’t keep my grades up, I would lose my scholarship- so that kept me in check. The anxiety level is crazy and you really have to know your stuff. However, it paid off in so many ways where it was definitely worth it! In what ways was it worth it? Being a nurse changes you a little and puts things into a different perspective. I have seen people at their worst or in their most vulnerable state- and they trust me to take care of them and look out for what is best for them. I have seen the most authentic relationships. I have seen death and loss. I have met people and touched their lives with the smallest actions or the few kind words they needed to hear. People appreciate you and its a great feeling because you walk away with your own feelings of appreciation for the things you may take for granted. There has never been a shift where I haven’t cracked up at something a patient said or did. My coworkers and I have stories that can make us laugh ourselves to tears. If you can look past the gross things you might have to deal with, there’s a deep sense of satisfaction with this job. “I love to help people” sounds so cliché, but it’s very genuine. The money and benefits are your bonus. What is your favorite thing about nursing? Getting to meet new people all the time- different ages, different cultures, different personalities, etc. I love it in the same way why people love traveling. You learn so much about the way people live, the things they have gone through, and the things that are the most important to them. I personally like being the comic relief or ice breaker type of nurse. Everyone loves a comedian and it eases their stressful time. What made you want to get into modeling? I have a creative streak when it comes to putting outfits together, taking pictures, hair and makeup- stuff like that. I am always binging on selfies so why not? As one of my patients once said to me: “You’re never going to be as young, pretty, skinny, and free of responsibilities as you are right now.. SO MILK IT!!” It is just something I am doing for fun and just getting into now. With my nursing, I work 12 hour shifts so it is only 3 nights a week. I have a lot of free time to explore any other interests/ try new things. Who is your favorite model right now? Nazanin Mandi! I have such a crush on her. I mean, looking at one picture of her is just not enough. Did you grow up with a large family? Nope. My father passed away when I was 12- so it was just my mom and my younger brother. We got extremely close. My mom met my step dad and his two kids when I was around 17 and we all have become so close ever since. Our extended family is humongous. There is an endless amount of support. What do you do in your free time? It depends on my mood. I make time for my family and friends. I like going out to museums, zoos, aquariums, art galleries, anywhere scenic and beautiful really. I also admit: I love to party! (I’ll just blame it on me being West Indian.. Caribbean people need to dance to survive.. Hahaha) What’s your most favorite city to visit? New York City. I may be biased here. It is such an eclectic city. I can’t get tired of people watching. And there’s millions of things to do there. What city do you have on your list to go to before you die? I don’t think I have one specifically. All I know is that I want to travel the world and visit all the most beautiful cities at least once. Do you like pets? Do you own any? I have a bearded dragon lizard which sounds badass, but I prefer something I can cuddle with. I will end up getting a puppy eventually. What turns you on about a man? I like guys that are really smart and funny with a really good-looking face! Sounds fairly simple, but shockingly rare to find. Career-driven, loyal, always self-improving, knows how to treat a woman.... Am I asking for too much yet? Hahaha How can we follow you online? My instagram is @feliciafeliciaaa Steffano Morte Knows How To Shoot! Growing up did you know you would get into photography? Growing up I had no artistic abilities or so I thought until my early 20s, Until out of the blue I stopped at a camera Shot bystore @CaleMoss and decided to buy a camera. I had no idea how to use it or what any of the buttons on the camera did and as a guy I was too lazy to read the manual and just started to hit random buttons. From there I fell in love with photography and could not keep my camera down. Did you have a favorite photographer My Grandfather and Xavier Miserachs What’s the biggest city you’ve been to?

My style varied by my mood: Sometimes I like to throw on a button down , other times a hoodie and some sneakers. For most part I would describe my style as versatile urban wear. I enjoy layering, which is one reason why my favorite season is winter.

I would have to say I really enjoy the sensuality of it all, every photo that is captured tells a story, you connect with the lens and project your feelings; it’s very personal to me because depending on what type of shoot I’m doing I connect myself to the fictitious character I want to become during the shoot and have fun with it.

What is your favorite part of a man’s body? I love 3 things about a guy at first sight. The eyes, lips & back, Yes a guy with a nice butt and wide back is a big yes for me.

It was definitely a culture shock. New York and Texas are practically polar opposites, so it did take some getting used to. Now that I’ve been living here for almost a year, New York has become my home. Even though I reminisce about mama’s cooking ALOT.. Was it your dream to model growing up? Actually, no. Modeling was the LAST thing I thought I’d wind up doing. Back in the day I was the chunky kid in class. I used to be really shy and introverted. I grew up wanting to become either a Pro Football Player or a Pizza Man. But as I got older I started working out and eating right and eventually people started telling me, “you should be a model or something!” So I listened, and now, I get paid to look good, which is pretty sweet. What do you do other than model? Aside from modeling, I’m also a producer, photographer and videographer. I enjoy being behind the lens just as much as being in front. It gives me the freedom to be creative and allows me to have control over the process. I’m a big picture kind of guy. I’m always brainstorming new projects and plotting how I can bring them to life. Each project that I finish leaves me with a feeling of accomplishment that modeling alone just can’t match. “Know yourself and know your standards. There are some shady people in the industry. Don’t fall victim to pressure. Do your research and work on become better every single day. “ Tell us your favorite car.. My 2000 Red Pontiac WS6 Trans Am, hands down. Her name is Kimberly. She’s back home in Texas right now. She was my first car and I’m going to love her until the day I die. What advice would you give to young models trying to break into the industry? Don’t be one of those mannequin models with rocks for a brain. Be confident and charismatic. Be the person that the client want to work with not only because you’re hot, but because you’re a cool person to be around too. Know yourself and know your standards. There are some shady people in the industry. Don’t fall victim to pressure. Do your research and work on become better every single day.

Instagram: michaelknightfotografia Snapchat: mknightfotoTwitter: mknightphotog Facebook: Michael Knight Fotografia Website: www.michaelknightfotografia.com Danae Vasiliadou @coffeeandmodels #coffeeandmodels So tell us.. what do you do? I moved to New York 3 years ago. I was a professional swimmer my whole life. The past 10 years I have been working as a swimming instructor. Water was all I loved in my life. Unfortunately when I moved here things changed. I was forced to work with something different to make a living. I always had a passion for coffee as well. I remember myself growing up always holding a cup of coffee between my practices. I accidentally tried to work as a barista in New York. My job and my guy made me fall in love a bit more with caffeine. I got to learn many interesting things from them and I have to admit that going to work in the morning feels finally good! How did you have the passion to to be a trainer? Well, most of my time growing up I spent it in the water so it was the next thing to come. I started teaching kids how to swim while I was an athlete. Working with kids and actually seeing the results of my job being applied to them kept me satisfied enough through all these years. In New York I had to study to learn how to train somebody out of the water as well. That is something new for me but I enjoy learning new things that will help me become better each day. So, your life is between coffee and gym? At the moment, yes. I never thought there is a whole science behind coffee. I only knew how to drink it. It’s actually exciting that each day there is something new to learn about it. I learn how to love it more the past two years in my life. I am lucky enough to have a great person in my life, with a great passion for coffee that teaches me whatever he knows! and I traveled with him in coffee farms in Ecuador and Puerto Rico and had amazing experiences! What made you want to get into modeling? I have been in a private college in Greece for journalism. one of the people that worked in one of the biggest TV channel in my country asked me to be a part of a sportive photo shooting for a magazine. I accepted the challenge because I like to try different things. They were satisfied with the results and since then I have done a couple of projects with a few photographers. even though I like to test myself I also know my limits, too. @CoffeeandModels @danae_swim Shot by Cynthia Ciccone @in_plain_sight_27 How long have you been in New York.. how do you like it? I have been in New York 3 years now. it was a lifetime dream for me and I sure haven’t regret my choice. Though, I miss my swimming life, too much. New York is the place that has everything, or almost everything! Swimming is not an easy thing to do in this city since there are not so many pools. oh, the only thing I will never be able to get used to is the weather! its too cold for me out here!!!! Who is your favorite model right now? mmm, I would have to choose either Adriana lima or Alessandra ambrosio. I don’’t know. there are so many pretty girls out there but I love this exotic looks they have! Did you grow up with a large family? Not really. My lovely parents, sister and grandparents mostly. You could tell that my family is pretty small. What do you do in your free time? Free time?? haha!! in this city time is never enough!!! Though if I find some, besides working out I love to hang out with friends and visit different places in the city. I feel New York has so many hidden spots that can keep your interest for a long time! What’s the biggest city you’ve been to? Travelling is one of my biggest loves! Any chance I have in my life to get away I do it without second thought! While growing up in Greece I traveled all Europe and now in New York I try to do the same. I think Los Angeles was the biggest one in the States so far. What’s your most favorite city to visit? I would love to visit San Diego! From the ones I already have I would chose a city in Italy and that would be Rome and Florence. Magical cities! What city do you have on your list to go to before you die? I can definitely tell you that my dream place to visit is Hawaii. I think exotic places like it can keep me there forever. But I have much more on my to-do list! Bali, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Jamaica are just some of them! What things would be on your list to do before you die? Travel! I want to try to travel in as many places as possible!! I want to stay with the residents everywhere I go and get to actually see their lifestyle! I need to dive with sharks, learn how to surf good and get to play with a lion! Hopefully, I’m too close in fulfilling the first two! Do you like pets? Do you own any? I absolutely love them! I grew up with dogs! I have three of them at the moment back home in Greece with my family. I really want to get a dog here as well but only when I move in a bigger apartment! Its is a big responsibility. A dog is family so you need to be ready to give him everything! What are guilty pleasures food-wise? Chocolate! I can’t imagine my life without it! haha! What turns you on about a man? The sense of humor. I think is one of the most important characteristics. If a man can make you smile he can make you do anything! And I think there is nothing sexier than a man that shows you in every chance he has that he wants only you. What instantly gets you off? Lies. I hate lies. I hate people that I cannot trust. Do you like men that work out? Who doesn’t? I mean it’s always nice for a man as well to take care of his body and I believe it’s always a plus to find things you admire on him. What advice would you give someone looking to get into training? People need to be more careful with their training. Do not trust everybody. Results take time and effort. Give time to yourself and your body to adjust and grow stronger. Choose carefully the person that you want to train with and make sure that he knows his job. Make training a part of your life and enjoy all the benefits. How can we follow you online? My Instagram account and twitter is danae_swim. Thank you so much AlwayzTherro!

Edited by Neil Shaw & JMR PR Graffiti Vogue with Model Ruby shot by Brandon Caffey The project is titled “ Graffiti Vogue” Are you an Artist or into Art? I believe we are all born artist’s, people just express their artistic skills in different ways. I express mine through modeling with other photographers. How do you feel about Graffiti and Spray Paint Art? I absolutely love graffiti art, but at the same time it depends on the style and placing of graffiti. For example, I can’t stand young immature people that graffiti stores, public places, or street signs. Although Banksy, a very well know artist that did spray paint on public places started the modern day graffiti movement into something we can call art. It can go both ways….. Have you ever worked with paint in your modeling sessions? Not yet, but I do have my eye on a few locate body painters. Do you have a favorite behind the scenes story from a Photoshoot? I think that would have to be with Brandon Caffey on our first shoot. He had a closet full of ideas just like his mind and the project was published on VOGUE. IT ( Photovogue). The outcome was just as great as this shoot which was only our second collaboration. Do you Skate or hangout at skate parks? When I was younger that was the only place I would hang out at, I actually grew up around my older siblings while they skateboarded, it becomes a lifestyle. But me on a skateboard? NO, I would fall You have a Tony Hawk Skateboard in this Photoshoot. What is your favorite part about Skateboarding as a sport or culture? Like I said it’s a lifestyle that is very easy to get consumed by... Free minded individuals that aren’t afraid to have a little fun even if it may break the law. What is your favorite episode of Southpark? Well, I haven’t seen the newest seasons and I do have more than one favorite episode. I would have to say its Casa Bonita. It explains why children act the way they do, and the things they will do to get what they want. When you are not Modeling what are you focused on? I went to school for massage therapy, so mostly I focus on bettering other people as well as myself. If you have never had a professional massage I highly recommend it, it will change you. Name 2 things that make you unique? My background, coming from a very different family has made me realize family is what you make it. Also, i’m secretly very crafty its my real passion to make things for people that make them say, “Wow, you made this!” What would surprise readers about you? I went to foster care for 2 years when I was much younger. Ages 7-9 and it completely changed me… my family is much bigger than blood. People always stereotype me as some blonde bimbo with a well off family, but it’s completely opposite. One thing that attracts you to someone? If you can make me laugh I want you around me What is your idea of a perfect date? Honestly, good food and good company. Just make me laugh and you get the second date ;) One thing on your bucket list you would like to do soon? Skydiving, which I have a date set coming in 2016. Favorite band of all time?

I had bad posture because I was too timid to stand up straight and look forward. I didn’t like taking pictures. I didn’t have any friends because I didn’t speak to anyone in my dance class. I didn’t and still don’t speak unless I am spoken too. I did however, appear on the show Kids Say The Darnest things. I did runway fashion shows until I got older and became too short. I also continued to dance. One day I attended what I thought was a dance audition but was actually an audition for the flashmob scenes in Friends With Benefits. I got casted and from there the rest was history. That same year I became Union and whenever a role came along I took it. It was never something I pursued though. Tell us what are you into besides acting? Acting isn’t my passion. It is something I do because I can and the opportunities always just come to me. Ultimately I want to be a life coach and philanthropist. I believe that is why God placed me on this earth. Therefore, it is a duty I am going to fulfill according to His will. I want to host my own talk show (something like lyanla Vanzant). I am in the process of building a non profit organization called TooReal’s Tea Party. I just had my 1st workshop which was a tea party based on Health And Wellness. The organization is for young ladies in group homes, foster care, and government programs. It is to prepare them for rights of passage by teaching them, building their confidence, and providing them with necessary resources. Do you have any short term goals? To be honored at the Black Girls Rock Awards What are your long term goals? To be the president of a huge organization dedicated to help making our youth better and to own several other different business including my own franchise. Who is your favorite artist? Top10 Tupac, Nas, JayZ, Kendrick, Jada Kiss, Biggie, Kanye (I had 6 copies of College Drop Out), J Cole, Wale, and Drake. Did you grow up with a large family? My family is huge. My grandmother has 10 kids. We’re very divided though. I wish my family was more oriented. At a point we were but people grow apart. Even family in this case. Do you have a family of you own? Maybe in the next 6 years I will. What do you do in your free time? I am a loner. On a day off I’d probably stay home, read, drink a lot of wine, listen to 90s music, and dance. I enjoy my solace. I like to go out but I’m not crazy about clubbing unless I’m getting paid to be there or it’s a fete. I’m Trini and I love to fete. A fete? I’m there lol. What’s your most favorite place to visit? My favorite place to visit is Florida because thats where my mom and most of my family lives. What city do you have on your list to go to before you die? One city I’d like to visit is Paris. I’d like to live there for 2 months to learn the language and how to speak with the accent. Do you like pets? I had a doghter. She recently passed. She was my everything. Her death was the most devastating tragedy I’ve ever experienced. I actually cried this morning thinking about her. I lost my first dependent, my first kid. Are you single? I am Why? I am too busy building my career and creating my future. I do not have time to give to someone else. Because of my devotion one would take away time from the other. I rather not take away anything from what I have going on right now. When I am comfortable and I settle, I’ll start dating. Right now I have tunnel vision. What was your longest relationship? 4 years. I was also once engaged. What turns you on about a man? I’m a sapiosexual. Before a man can turn me on, he has to stimulate my mind first. Then I check for everything else. How can we follow you online? My personal IG is @TooReal Then there’s @TooRealTV and @ TooRealsTeaParty On FB I am TooReal Peters FRESH FACE >>> Red I started seriously considering modeling and acting after taking an interest to psychology and the workings of the human mind. I enjoy questioning the unknown and expanding my beliefs with ideas and experiences. Im an explorer, an artist, and a writer. I spend my time reading a wide variety of subjects. From powerful and influential leaders and thinkers of the past, to an assortment of belief systems, theories, and mythological tales spread all over the globe still practiced and taught today, I am interested in learning what others felt necessary to leave behind for us. I have a deep love for music, art, animals, and nature. In my free time I like to play guitar, meditate, and practice yoga. Enthralled with the darkness, consciousness, and dreaming, I consider myself endlessly curious. Follow me on instagram @anundeadred Quick One One One With Markeshia How did you start modeling?

I believe that when meeting someone for the first time, subconsciously we’ve already decided on what kind of relationship it’s going to be. What turns you on about a man? There are few things that are a turn on about a man however, the biggest thing would be a man who is ambitious. I need to have a man who has goals and the drive to accomplish those goals.

Tell us what are you into besides modeling? I was a typical horse crazy little girl and that hasn’t changed as I’ve grown up. I’m working to make a career in the horse industry and loving every second of it! Who is your favorite artist? Far too indecisive to pick specific artists; all about an open mind! What are 3 of your top hobbies? Horseback riding, dancing, fishing...

Never Try To Fit In.. Marko Penn Interview by @noritabango Was super excited to catch up with artist/songwriter Marko Penn for an exclusive Alwayz Therro interview. 2016 is going to be amazing for music especially with talents like him in it! What artists have you worked with throughout your music career? I’ve worked with Usher, JLo, Nelly, Florida Georgia Line, B.o.b., Jason Derulo and Sevyn Streeter to name a few. What inspires you to make music? Who inspires you? Life inspires me to make music. All the ups and all the downs, every single thing that goes on in this world. People who aren’t afraid to be themselves inspire me as well. What are some of your greatest accomplishments so far? Working with the artists that I’ve worked with so far, I never thought I’d even come this far. Being able to do what I love is a great accomplishment to me. And I’m just getting started… Do you write your own material? Yes, nobody can tell my story better than I can tell it. I’ve noticed that your style of music is very unique, where does the uniqueness come from? How do you come up with it? My uniqueness comes from doing the opposite of what people expect me to do. I want to bridge the gaps between cultures that are different from each other. My process of creating music is very organic, I try to keep it as real as possible, and I don’t put a ceiling over my creativity just to fit in. Do you have new music coming out any time soon? Forsure, I’m always dropping new music. Just be on the look out. What separates you from other artists? What separates me from every other artist is that I tell my story from my own eyes. Everybody has a different story, you just got to tell it. What message do you want to get across to the younger generation? Always be yourself no matter what situation you’re in. Fitting in is boring. Twitter: @treehousemarko Instagram: @markopenn When you talk about someone working hard to get what they want.. what do you think about? Someone who goes to work comes home and makes something happen for their family. What about someone what with a dream and against all odds makes it happen regardless of what’s going on. No matter what the odds you keep pushing and you aim for where you want to go. Never take no for an answer. You’re looking at Bryan Martin. A man in his own right who has created his own brand and continues to push forward since the day he started. Everyone talks about making their dreams come true, but few have what it takes to keep going year after year. Success does not come over night and he knows how to keep his composure in ever situation. The universe has sent everything you need to get to where you want to go you just have to be bold enough to look for the clues. Follow Bryan @cashhugoent Allison Saenz Knows What She Wants!
