Monica VDM - B-Authentique Magazine

How would you describe yourself in a few words?
I´m pretty silly and open for every fun, humorous, hard-working, open-minded and I never give up. I love to learn new things

How long have you been a model?
I’m a model for 4 years now and the last 2 years I’m doing it on a professional level

How did you get into modelling?
in the beginning, I did a lot of modeling competitions, it was more for fun, and I did not think I wanted to do this really professionally.
People asked me one day ‘why do not you handle this professionally ??’
And ion that moment I thought why not ?? That’s how my adventure began

How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
My first shoot was after I won my first modelling competition, I was so thrilled because it was my first shoot !!
It was with two other girls who also won the competition. And they finally made a calender with every month a winner so total there were 14 winners.
I was month August with the theme The Dolly Dots , that shoot went so well and from that moment I knew for sure, I wanted to be a model.

What does modelling mean to you?
Literally, everything I can be myself in different ways one moment I may be the bitch, next time a princess I just love it to bring my emotions over to a picture that feeling it brings with it.
Anything that bothers me will be gone when I model. It’s like a wall that drops down and all the sorrow or happiness is going to be in that picture, that one result. It’s hard to explain, I think that many models know what I mean, it’s like some people are going to boxing or some other sport. I’ll have my modelling, that is enough for me and it makes me happy.

A model you particularly admire?
Doutzen Kroes she is beautiful and she never brags about it, I love it when people have some humility in themselves.

If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I would like to shoot in Portugal.

What is your dressing style in everyday life?
That’s very different it depends on what kind of mood I’m, if I like to dress up then everything has to match perfectly.
But if I’m in my relaxing mood then I take a pair of jeans and any kind of sweater because I don’t care.

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Definitely in a mansion in Spain or Portugal with a fitness room in it.

What is happiness?
Being happy with you as a person because you have to live with yourself every single day!

Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Mostly in the weekend i plan all my projects and shoots, so probably you would find me shooting.
If I’m not shooting I’m watching movies or dining in a fancy restaurant.

What’s your next goal?
Traveling around the world with great photographers and of course meeting great new people and learning from them, enjoying my adventure as a model.
