We caught up with Samantha to talk about all things modeling!

Q1. Swanky Mag: Hello Samantha, Can you introduce yourself to Swanky Magazine's readers?

Hey everyone, I'm sam I'm 33 from Dorset and I've been modelling now for coming up 12 years ❤

Q2. How did you get involved with modelling, and what do you love most about being a model?

I got started in modelling by applying for a casting call looking for bridal models for a wedding show, from these shows I was lucky enough to build up some great working relationships with various wedding photographers who I have gone on to work with on various projects on a regular basis, I was then able to branch out into more fashion and lifestyle modelling. What I love most about modelling is being able to meet and work with such an amazing range of people which some of having gone on to be lifelong friends.

Q3. What fuels your imagination and provides you with inspiration.

I think what fuels my imagination and gives me inspiration in my dance and performing arts background. I love being able to create a character and become someone else for a shoot

Q4. Let us into a secret, What is a beauty trick you do before a photoshoot?

, I'm not sure a trick as such but I will always make sure I'm wearing a soft non-underwired bra so that if a dress I'm wearing is backless I don't have marks on my skin.

Q5. What projects are you working on next, and what are your goals for the future?

I've got lots of exciting projects in the pipeline and various shoots. I'm super excited to be walking at London fashion week in September and hopefully covid allowing an exciting trip to shoot with a designer in Iceland in the autumn.
