Interview: Model Louise Signoret (France)

Can you tell us a little about you?

My name is Louise, I am 22 years old. I live near to Paris. I am finishing a Master specialised in real estate and my passion, as I think you would have guessed, is model photography.

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

I don’t really know. Continue to grow, evolve. Be appreciated for who you are. I try to accept myself the way I am. But it’s true, some days you wake up and you don’t like what you see : physically or mentaly (inside or out).

How did you start modelling?

I was young, shy and I lack self-confidence. Someone offered me a photo shoot, I loved it, it made me grow up and move on. A photographer contacted me for a collaboration, and that’s where I began. Social medias helped me to get in touch with photographs.

What do you think of the work as a model?

Each session is unique. It’s an act, sometimes you have to over do it, exaggerate, try things, but also abstract yourself from the glare of passers-by when you shoot outside. It’s the opportunity to meet new people and continue to learn.

What is your beauty regimen?

In photo shoots, beauty will never be just the model face, but the work of a whole team. The beauty of the picture is composed of the staging, light, make-up, hair, face expression, shot post-processing and also the spectator’s eye.

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?

I think friendliness. I love to work in an uplifting surrounding, in good vibes with the team. It is essential to me, and this allows for the best photographic shots, I think.

What are your plans for the future?

Devote myself full-time to photo shoots, take all the opportunities and really try my luck in this business. Do what i love.

What are some of your favorite experiences so far?

I think that was a photo shoot in a castle/hotel with a full team, the designer, makeup artist, photograph, assistant, castle owners, an unforgettable atmosphere.

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?

Believe in yourself. Mentalities are changing, « standards » too. It’s a world where you passion but also hard work.

What do you think of the magazine?

A really good concept, it spotlights differents profils and can sparkle beautiful discoveries.
