Don’t rely on other people for your work. You will shine through best by being your true unique self. There will always be the original and why would you want to be a replica of someone who already does it better? Be yourself means have your own style and act like yourself. Copying or ripping off someone else’s style or look will never get you anywhere. You never know who will network you into something big based on your performance and ability.īeing yourself is probably the best advice to give overall next to being professional. If you want to be a model, you need to show your abilities at its best at all times. I have been surprised by certain models as to how they acted and how little they cared at the shoot. Its typical advice but its also the best advice I could give. Mosh: Be professional, be yourself, and give everything one hundred percent. Jeff Cohn: Do you have any advice for models just starting out? It ended with a gun being pointed at my head by the police but thats a long story. I did have an interesting experience at an abandoned hospital with my photographer friend Lynxkarma and her photographer friend. Mosh: I have been pretty lucky with my photo shoot experiences, so none that were horrific in terms of the photographer or people at a shoot. Jeff Cohn: Do you have any funny or horrific photo shoot experiences you’d like to share? I never thought my work would lead that way, but its an incredible feeling and it makes me want to work that much harder when producing new images. Mosh: I am beyond flattered to hear from models and fans that they are inspired by me. Jeff Cohn: How does it feel to know you inspire so many new models and fans? It probably drew in a lot of people to my MM page haha! It was pretty cool seeing my face at the top of my favorite modeling networking site. Jeff Cohn: How much impact did having the header image on Model Mayhem have on your career? Since the first time I slipped into a latex dress, a corset, stockings, heels…I instantly fell in love. The fabrics and materials that tie into fetish also drew me in. They can certainly be beautiful but they’re not for me. I personally cant stand ordinary fashion and typical all-American-beauty images. Due to this intriguing mystery element, I was naturally drawn to fetish and alternative modeling. There was something more to these images beyond just the obvious, and all of these images usually fit into the alternative of fetish category. Mosh: Through the works of certain artists, I found something more than just erotic or interesting. Jeff Cohn: What drew you towards Alternative and Fetish modeling? I’m not at all complaining, I enjoy every minute of my career as a model, from the beginning to the end of a process. Mosh: Probably studying design or business and focusing more on designing cosmetics and heels. Jeff Cohn: If you weren’t a model, what would you be doing? I didn’t think it would grow to what it is now, or that I would get to work with such great artists, but I did and I’m so glad I joined mm that one fine day in September. I randomly came across in my senior year of high school, so I decided to join and see what I could do with my portfolio.

Mosh: Nobody really inspired me, but the idea of a fetish image definitely did inspire me. Jeff Cohn: What/Who inspired you to get involved in modeling? Mosh recently relocated to Los Angeles and is about to launch her own members site for the legions of fans to have yet another way of connecting with this Alt-superstar. She was born August 21st in the Soviet Union, now Russia, and moved at a young age to the States, raised mostly on the upper east coast (DC area).

While I am not sure her name has anything to do with an actual concert mosh-pitt, she shares the same frenetic pace, unpredictable power and a steady determined focus that one would find there. When she was 2 years old she was given the moniker Mosh, it suits her. She’s one of the most in demand models by designers, magazines, photographers and events, even gracing the header image of the most popular Modeling site on the internet earlier this year. She’s been a model for only a few years now but has already risen to the top echelon of the world of Alternative Modeling.
