Shell Peterson is a great model and a blogger from Mexico, lives in Washington. I hope you’ll enjoy the interview;
How did you fall in love with modeling?
I started modeling through blogging. I had no idea blogging could lead to modeling but blogging has opened up so many opportunities for me and I love that modeling fell into my lap during the journey.
How were you discovered?
Through my blog and Instagram. Blog: acourageousbeauty.com
What’s one of the most interesting shoots that you’ve done?
Laying in the middle of the street in the heart of Washington D.C. during rush hour is definitely one I’ll definitely remember.
How would you define your personal style?
Feminine, classic, modest, and refined – I believe that style is all about truly knowing and loving yourself. Style is an expression of who you are and your sense of self.
Where did you grow up? How have your roots influenced your sense of style?
I grew up in Cali and New Mexico and now living in DC. I had a very strict mother who wouldn’t let me dress myself so after I moved out, it took sometime to figure out my personal style and I that the city of DC brought out the best of it.
Who is your style icon and why?
Lauren Conrad. Kate Middleton. And Jade Scott from A Spoon Full Of Style
Who is your favorite photographer and why?
I wouldn’t be able to narrow that down to just one person. I have so many. DC has a strong blogging, model, and photography community that is filled with so many genuine, kind, and talented people and I feel truly honored to have worked with so many of then.
What advice would you give to aspiring models out there?
Stay true to yourself. Don’t fall into the pressure of others to do something that you don’t feel comfortable doing or just it if just isn’t simply your style. Stay true and only do what furthers your own work and leads you to your overall goal.
Do you edit your own photos? If yes, which programs do you use?
Yes! I keep my editing to a minimum and use Lightroom.
