Demii-Leigh Heffron is an internationally published great model and the owner of @bearinksociety . I hope you’ll enjoy the interview;
How did you fall in love with modeling?
I was actually approached by numerous tattoo magazines and photographers at the same time, so it all came together nicely having shoots done and then published in magazines and it kind of went from there!
How were you discovered?
Tattoo magazines contacted me through my Instagram, whilst photographers were contacting me through Facebook, so I have social media to thank for my modelling career!
What’s one of the most interesting shoots that you’ve done?
They’re all interesting in one way or another, but I do love creative shoots. Face paints, body paints, out of the ordinary shoots, those are the best.
How would you define your personal style?
I have my own style, but if you were to put a stereotypical label on it, I’d probably be classed as a rock chick.
Where did you grow up? How have your roots influenced your sense of style?
I grew up in a poor town, which is what has always driven me and motivated me to succeed, proving that your roots do not determine your future. I wouldn’t say my roots influenced my style at all, but definitely my desire to succeed.
Who is your style icon and why?
I don’t actually have a style icon, simply because I don’t want to be like anybody else.
Who is your favorite photographer and why?
If I answered this question, I would offend a lot of great photographers by only choosing one! Therefore I’ll skip this question haha.
What advice would you give to aspiring models out there?
Never give up. Ignore the people who only have negative things to say about you and your life, and just keep pushing on. Nobody is going to give you your career except yourself.
Do you edit your own photos? If yes, which programs do you use?
I don’t edit my pictures, occasionally I’ll stick an instagram filter on my selfies but I rarely post those. It’s mainly modelling photos that are edited by photographers, not myself.
