My path to
Model
Some paths begin quietly—with a feeling that never goes away. Too narrow, too loud, too much. Something had to change.
It all started in 2013: trade fairs, hostess jobs, promotional assignments – professional, friendly, reliable. But something was missing.
Two years later: Moving to Munich. New place, new pace, no plan. Working at Club P1, everything at once, everything too much.
Then this moment: "Playboy Night." A woman places a business card on the counter—Vogue. Her gaze, her words: "You look like a model. Ever done that?" Answer: "Sure."
→ The truth: never.
Shortly thereafter, the first photo shoot – in a tiny attic room. Bathtub. Flowers. Colored water.
A nude shoot. A leap into the deep end. Not a big job.
But the first real look at yourself.
No modeling school. No agency that said yes. Too little emotion, too much baby fat, too direct. And those who speak up too early are often ignored. Rejections became routine—but no reason to stop. The development came from freelance work. From trust, from trying things out.
Collaborating with artists, photographers, and small brands, learning about light, posture, impact—and about one's own personality in front of the camera.
Catwalks, fittings, campaigns, and brand faces followed. But it quickly became clear: presence is more important than perfection.
Then life intervened. A relationship that took up space. Years in which much was lost—and slowly returned. The pandemic brought silence. And afterward, depth came.
2023: A fresh start. This time without masks. Direct, authentic, self-determined.
Travel, photo shoots, new contacts. Doors opened – because someone had learned to open them themselves.
2024: The breakthrough. The liberation from everything that held me back. And that's when the magic began—in life, in work, in my paintings.
Today there is a woman in front of the camera who knows who she is.
Experience meets intuition. Expression meets attitude.
It's not about poses. It's about presence.
Real. Tangible. Unpretentious.
This isn't a career plan—it's a path that has been lived. And continues.

The communication beforehand was very pleasant and uncomplicated.
Vanessa is a fantastic model who arrived at the shoot in a great mood. She was always highly motivated to fulfill the photographer's wishes and also excels in free poses.
We also laughed a lot, which made working with Vanessa a pleasure. After reviewing the initial results, I'm very impressed; we've captured some truly stunning work. I highly recommend this strong model to other photographers!
Thank you very much, dear Vanessa, for your great effort and the good atmosphere.
I hope we will work together again.
Portfolio expansion - Cremer
Vanessa is a very friendly, professional model.
She is 100% reliable and also spontaneous as long as her schedule allows it.
Working with her is a lot of fun because she can switch between small talk and photo sessions in a flash, and her positive attitude also makes working in a relaxed manner possible.
She implemented the ideas I briefly described perfectly and with confidence, and brought her own ideas to the table, which led to many unique results.
I'm already looking forward to our next shoot.
Composing - Marco Drachenfund
First of all, thank you again for this amazing shoot!!!
From the very first contact, it was clear: Vanessa is a professional. Her communication was clear and direct, yet also friendly and very personable; I immediately felt in good hands. Everything was discussed and agreed upon quickly.
On the day of the shoot itself, the positive impression was confirmed. Likeable, funny, charming. And the term "uncomplicated" truly applies to her.
The shoot was a pure joy. She was able to immediately adapt to the different roles and moods, was focused, committed, and brought the projects to success with confident posing and her own ideas. This allowed us to work on the individual sets with real focus, yet in a relaxed atmosphere.
And so I'm looking forward to our next shoot together with great anticipation.
Let's work

TESTIMONIALS
True & direct
During our third collaboration, Vanessa was once again able to showcase her extensive repertoire of poses and expressions. She did it all: romantic, erotic, daring, crazy, even screaming freak. And all at the touch of a button, without ever seeming artificial – quite the opposite, in fact. With great ingenuity, she was able to get the most out of every pose we gave her. And with her courteous, humorous and creative manner, the individual projects were easy to implement. So we were very successful and had a lot of fun. And I also hope that we can implement many more projects. Because together with her, we developed lots of other image ideas.
So once again: Thank you very much, Vanessa, for your tireless efforts.

Vanessa is a fantastic model who, in addition to a stunning body, has a beautiful face and gorgeous eyes. She also has a wonderful, very positive aura. Despite the difficult journey, Vanessa brought tremendous energy and power to the entire six hours. She is also extremely nice and was excellent with all the participants. They were thrilled and have already asked when the next workshop with Vanessa will be.
