VOLUME 1 , ISSUE 3
It's mid Summer, and we couldn't be happier at<br />
<strong>teenLook</strong>. Although, here in Alberta it has been 4-5<br />
weeks of rain for our Summer so far! The weather may<br />
be dreary, but the pages of <strong>teenLook</strong> are lit up with all<br />
of the talented teens submitting and that are featured<br />
here! Seriously, the support has been amazing! Every<br />
issue keeps growing and reaching further out into the<br />
world. Especially now that Dara is on the staff list,<br />
helping with marketing and communicating with you<br />
guys on our social media networks. She is terrific and<br />
a truly talented lady in her own right. Our joining<br />
up here to make <strong>teenLook</strong> a better publication was a<br />
move that came naturally as we both have the same<br />
interests at heart. Letting the teen talent out there get<br />
seen and inspired to continue pursuing their dreams.<br />
This issue is aimed in that direction by having a guy<br />
on the cover! It is tough to get teen boys to submit<br />
their photos, and I want to encourage them to be as<br />
much a part of this as the girls. <strong>Ethan</strong> is pretty new to<br />
the industry, but as soon as I saw his submissions, I<br />
knew the direction for our next cover was to include<br />
him on it. In our last issue, Talayna was flawless as<br />
we remembered Audrey Hepburn. I hope you will<br />
agree that <strong>Ethan</strong> radiated the feel and look of Film<br />
Icon, James Dean, for this feature. I contacted John<br />
Oland of Motoparts about using a few of his vintage<br />
bikes from his collection for the cover shoot. He was<br />
immediately supportive and felt honoured to be included<br />
in the work we are doing. The day of the shoot<br />
was mixed with rain and clouds, but we just let it add<br />
to the drama of the shoot. It was a perfect time. I will<br />
be adding a section to the website that will include<br />
more photos for the cover shoots, as only a few can be<br />
included in the features here in the magazine. Lots of<br />
things are being added and changing to bring a better<br />
publication for all of you. Another development is<br />
merch that will be created for purchase to show your<br />
love and support and a way to show your teen spirit!<br />

preview of what we are working on, on page 81.<br />
I hope you will enjoy this fantastic issue of <strong>teenLook</strong><br />
and know I am hard at work getting issue four underway!<br />
September's issue will feature a back to school<br />
theme. So if you have some shoots lined up, feel free<br />
to incorporate your emotions about that! I'm sure it<br />
will be a mixed range of feelings!<br />
All the best, and enjoy the rest of the Summer!<br />
I would love your feedback and ideas of what you<br />

A few words from the assistant<br />
marketing and managing editor<br />
I am beyond excited to officially be a part of<br />
<strong>teenLook</strong>! When I first met James and heard about<br />
the adventure he was about to embark on, I knew I<br />
had to be involved somehow.<br />
Luis "Lou" Alvarez<br />
NYPD - First Responder<br />
"We were told the air was<br />
safe down there and it<br />
wasn't. But you know what,<br />
that doesn't matter. Because<br />
we would have went in anyway.<br />
Because that's what we<br />
do. It's not a job for us. It's a<br />
calling."<br />
With the 18'th anniversary of the<br />
9/11 terror attacks coming up<br />
next month, I want to take a moment<br />
to reflect on the passing of<br />
a fighter and warrior who left us<br />
June 29, <strong>2019</strong>. Luis Alvarez was<br />
one of the many first responders<br />
at ground zero when the twin<br />
towers fell Sept. 11, 2001.<br />
He is one of the 50,000+ people<br />
suffering from 9/11 related cancer<br />
and fought until his death to help<br />
ensure all first responders affected<br />
would be taken care of. Their<br />
work that day and for the many<br />
weeks spent thereafter, searching<br />
for survivors in one of the most<br />
devastating terror attacks,<br />
now taking its toll on them all<br />
these years later.<br />
Cancer knows no borders.<br />
Many of us in every part of this<br />
world, know someone suffering<br />
from this terrible disease. My<br />
step-father, who was diagnosed<br />
with mesothelioma a year and<br />
a half ago, is fighting his battle<br />
against it. Seeing the world he<br />
lives in shrinking around him<br />
and my mom, is heartbreaking.<br />
They loved to camp and were out<br />
several times a year, but earlier<br />
this year, they sold the truck and<br />
RV, knowing it would not be possible<br />
to go out again. Their daily<br />
routines and activities are becoming<br />
less frequent as the pain takes<br />
over. Our recent trip last week<br />
was tough on all of us, as I know<br />
this will be the last time he will<br />
spend with his granddaughters.<br />
Many people put their lives at risk<br />
every day to help others around<br />
them. They are first responders.<br />
My brother is a paramedic and<br />
fights every shift to save lives. My<br />
wife is a nurse and does her part<br />
to improve the quality of life for<br />
others.<br />
You may know some that are<br />
close to you or maybe they are<br />
complete strangers that you see<br />
rushing to an emergency. For<br />
Luis, his fight was to help safeguard<br />
the quality of care to those<br />
that helped alongside him during<br />
the recovery of the 9/11 terror<br />
attacks. He raised his voice to<br />
congress to be heard up to the last<br />
couple of weeks before his death.<br />
Ensuring that the financial aid<br />
would be given to those affected<br />
by 9/11 related cancer.<br />
Our hearts and prayers go<br />
out to all fighting the fight<br />
that is their calling.<br />
It all started with an interview. James wanted to<br />
feature a story about me and my career as a teen<br />
model; my experience of it and how it has now led<br />
me here. We are two creatives on one platform!<br />
Our visions for this magazine align so well! We are<br />
all about showcasing the incredible teen talent<br />
that we have surrounding us! We want all forms of<br />
teen talent to be featured and provide a beautiful<br />
platform to do so. Putting a spotlight on our fantastic<br />
local talent here in Canada is so important to us,<br />
but also it is equally essential for us to showcase<br />
international teens.<br />
We want to show teens<br />
around the world, the<br />
different cultures and<br />
ethnicities that are<br />
doing what we all love<br />
in their own heritage.<br />
Our goal for the<br />
magazine is to continue<br />
to showcase the stars<br />
of our future, provide<br />
inspiration and motivation<br />
on creative teen talent!<br />
We hope you love what<br />
we have done thus far<br />
and we are so excited<br />
to support and connect<br />
with people from all over<br />
the world! Keep the<br />
submissions coming in,<br />
tell your friends and let’s<br />
show off you astounding<br />
teens!<br />

What<br />
LOOKING BACK<br />
to watch this summer!<br />
War Horse (2011)<br />
PG / 2h 26min / Drama, History, War<br />
Released 25 December 2011<br />
Directed by Steven Spielberg<br />
On the outbreak of the First World War, teenaged<br />
Albert's beloved horse 'Joey' is sold to the Cavalry<br />
by his Father. After being sent to France, in a<br />
bid to survive, Joey has an unexpected journey<br />
across war-torn Europe. Albert enlists in the<br />
British Army and is wounded during the Battle<br />
of the Somme. While recovering in hospital, he<br />
learns of a Horse, found in no man's land.<br />
A sweeping tale of faith and endurance, tieing a boy and a horse through everything<br />
war can put in front of them, never giving up nor giving in when all<br />
hope seems lost. Each one travels a path that takes them apart, touching and<br />
making an impact upon the lives they meet. That same path eventually brings<br />
them back together in an unexpected heartwarming climax.<br />
LOOKING FORWARD<br />
Alita: Battle Angel (<strong>2019</strong>)<br />
14A / 2h 2min / Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi<br />
Released 14 February <strong>2019</strong><br />
Directed by Robert Rodriguez<br />
A deactivated cyborg is revived as a teenage<br />
girl, but she cannot remember anything of her<br />
past life and goes on a quest to find out who<br />
she is... and that is where Alita's true significance<br />
comes to bear. She is an angel from<br />
heaven. She is an angel of death.<br />
Ray Kurzweil predicts that<br />
the singularity, the time<br />
when man and machine will<br />
merge, is 2045. Some speculate<br />
it will be even sooner.<br />
Alita: Battle Angel is an<br />
intuitive look at that future<br />
we soon face.<br />
James Cameron's incredible<br />
storytelling and vision we<br />
saw in Avatar, continues<br />
to excite in this latest film.<br />
Wowing with 3D visuals<br />
and flawless cinematography.<br />
Alita is a film that<br />
shows female empowerment,<br />
personal growth,<br />
sacrifice and loss.<br />

journey just one year ago, entering<br />

walked a few runways since.<br />

few years and hopefully model<br />

Coleton<br />
Chromik<br />
Meet Coleton, a model from<br />
Camrose, Alberta.<br />
I'm going into Grade 11, and<br />
Basketball is my sport of choice. I<br />
started Modelling/Acting when I was<br />
13 and have been in roughly 7 USA<br />
model magazines.<br />
I have done some runway work,<br />
and photo shoots for promotional<br />
purposes as well. So far, my most<br />
significant opportunity was when I<br />
received an invitation to an Acting<br />
program for CGTV last summer in<br />
Hollywood. That was cool! I learned<br />
a lot and made a great vacation<br />
out of the time while I was there. I<br />
had Hollywood actors and several<br />
agents come in and audition me for<br />
a sitcom. I was called back by three<br />
Agencies right in Los Angeles.<br />
Right now, I am prepping as I<br />
have been chosen to be a part<br />
of Vancouver fashion week. I am<br />
hoping to model internationally<br />
within the year.<br />
I am trying to get as many jobs as I<br />
can so I have enough tear offs to go<br />
down to the States for work in both<br />
Modelling and Acting. To get a work<br />
Visa in acting/modelling for the US,<br />
Canadians need a specific # of jobs<br />
(tear-offs)<br />
I have BIG dreams, and I hope to<br />
someday be a big part of the Acting/<br />
Modelling world!<br />

& dance!<br />
Andrea and Gavin met in 2018 at<br />
Canadian Dance Unit, where they<br />
trained together for a year, Andrea's<br />
first and Gavin's last year with the<br />
studio. Through many dance classes,<br />
late rehearsals and hectic local and<br />
travelling competition weekends,<br />
the two managed to build a strong<br />
bond. Even being at different studios<br />
now, Andrea and Gavin maintain<br />
their friendship online and in real<br />
life, supporting each other's growth<br />
and cheering for one another when<br />
competing or attending conventions<br />
together.<br />

teenlook.ca | issue <strong>#3</strong> 29
Andrea is a hardworking, ambitious and<br />
talented 9 year-old girl, a competitive<br />
dancer with Canadian Dance Unit in Bolton,<br />
Ontario, an aspiring actress and model. She fell in<br />
love with dance from her very first ballet class at<br />
just under three years of age. She has been actively<br />
pursuing her passion ever since, having changed<br />
several studios in the process. Aside from numerous<br />
regional and national competitions under her belt,<br />
Andrea has also competed at the World Dance<br />
Championship as part of National Team Canada<br />
Dance 2018. She took the world stage in Warsaw,<br />
Poland, amongst so many talented dancers<br />
from around the world, and helped<br />
bring home 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1<br />
Bronze medals in the Children’s<br />
Division. During the summer<br />
months, Andrea is<br />
Working on her technique and strength, attending<br />
several reputable workshops and intensives, while<br />
also giving back to the community by performing<br />
at the Toronto International Dance Festival and the<br />
Toronto International Youth Dance Festival. Through<br />
the fall, outside of the regular studio hours, Andrea<br />
will be training with the Toronto International Ballet<br />
Theatre to perform in “The Nutcracker” at the Meridian<br />
Hall in Toronto (ex Sony center) in December <strong>2019</strong>.<br />
Aside from Dance, Andrea is also exploring her<br />
potential in acting and modelling, having just recently<br />
signed with Max Talent Agency in Toronto and Dent<br />
Model Magazine online. Her publication debut<br />
was almost immediate with the first feature in<br />
CanKids Magazine. This was followed up<br />
by Dreamy Magazine, Ivy Magazine<br />
and Wild Child Magazine, where<br />
she landed VIP Model status.<br />

Julia Skyba<br />
Photographer<br />
Spotlight<br />
Julia's journey into photography<br />
started by accident. Little did she<br />
know that one day she would become a<br />
professional photographer.<br />
From a young age, Julia was always<br />
fond of beautiful images and could<br />
spent hours gazing at pictures. She<br />
could visualize stills within the<br />
motion of life and could hold the<br />
images of moments already gone, but<br />
becoming a photographer was not<br />
something she aspired to, given her<br />
first experience with the camera was<br />
not very successful. Imagine a black<br />
and white Olympus in the hands of a<br />
9 year old, the all black, bright white<br />
or blurry images and the frustration<br />
and confusion that accompanied them.<br />
Julia was positive she would never<br />
touch a camera again, but life proved<br />
her wrong.<br />
When the new era of digital cameras<br />
emerged Julia saw an opportunity to<br />
try the camera again and bought her<br />
first Nikon. Julia shared her excitement<br />
over her new toy with her friend, who<br />
also became her first client. Julia's first<br />
paid job was a kids birthday party and<br />
within those two hours she managed<br />
to take over a thousand images. Later<br />
Julia had to spend many long hours<br />
selecting and editing those photos<br />
before she could deliver them to her<br />
friend. It took her years to simplify the<br />
process and become as efficient as she<br />
is today.<br />
Over the last five years Julia has<br />
taken numerous courses and training<br />
to sharpen those natural skills,<br />
participated in workshops, and had<br />
hundreds of photo shoots.<br />
Every photo session would bring both<br />
excitement and challenges. Every new<br />
client requires new and interesting<br />
ideas and a unique approach.<br />
Creativity and patience are a big part<br />
of who Julia is and why her clients love<br />
working with her.<br />
For the love of photography, Julia<br />
transformed her living room into a<br />
studio, while the rest of the house<br />
stores a variety of props for any<br />
occasion. From maternity and<br />
newborn, to business and modeling<br />
portfolios, Julia does it all. Whether<br />
it's a smash cake session or a wedding,<br />
Julia has you covered. She will often<br />
conduct a meet & greet session in<br />
advanced, to get an understanding of<br />
each client's desires and expectations,<br />
as well as consult them on the best<br />
approach or offer suggestions and<br />
wardrobe advice. When weather<br />
cooperates Julia also loves shooting<br />
outside to capture her clients and the<br />
beauty of some natural settings.<br />
Though Julia does all kinds of photo<br />
services and works with people of all<br />
ages, her favorite age group is older<br />
kids and teenagers. There is something<br />
about them that makes them free<br />
spirited and natural, but also easy to<br />
manage and coordinate. They have joy<br />
of youth with a flavor of maturity, they<br />
are fresh and open to ideas and even to<br />
try something crazy at times.<br />
Being a very shy person Julia never<br />
thought she'd be able to work with<br />
people she doesn't know, however<br />
when she is behind the camera she<br />
becomes invisible and focuses only on<br />
what she wants to achieve as a result.<br />
Julia can lay on the ground, climb the<br />
fence, show her models how to pose<br />
and sometimes even entertain them<br />
using a clown nose. One time Julia<br />
Julia<br />
Skyba<br />
had to actually hide between pews and<br />
really blend with the guests to capture<br />
a baptism in a Catholic church where<br />
photography was not permitted. But<br />
she later realized she was spotted when<br />
the minister said in his final speech,<br />
“Anything is possible when you set<br />
your mind to it. Even photography in<br />
the ceremony that is not allowed.”<br />
Julia believes that photography makes<br />
her a better person, helps her grow in<br />
every aspect, helps understand life and<br />
makes time stop with every click of the<br />
camera, giving her clients the gift of<br />
time, those immortalized moments,<br />
whether a smile, or a look or a simple<br />
gesture. Photography is what shapes<br />
Julia's dreams, her plans for future and<br />
her life.<br />

Andrew MacLeod<br />
I<br />
have been a photographer for<br />
many years and have enjoyed<br />
every minute. I have enjoyed<br />
volunteering my time to give back<br />
to others when I can. I have been<br />
happily involved with NILMDTS,<br />
Help Portrait, BEautiful Me and the<br />
International Children’s Festival. I<br />
enjoy all types of photography, but<br />
I would call myself a portrait and<br />
fashion photographer. These are the<br />
areas I enjoy capturing the most.<br />
I think the bottom line is I love<br />
working with people and doing my<br />
best to capture the emotion in any<br />
type of photo shoot I might be doing.<br />
For me photography is a passion and<br />
by keeping it part-time I have been<br />
able to keep that passion alive.<br />
The last few years I have become very<br />
involved in the model scene here in<br />
the Edmonton area and I have been<br />
blessed to have been able to work<br />
with so many amazing models,<br />
Make-up artists, Hair Stylists,<br />
designers, other photographers and<br />
of course moms who have given their<br />
children unconditional love and<br />
support which has helped their sons<br />
& daughters reach for their dreams.<br />
I enjoy trying to make all my shoots<br />
fun and helping models see the<br />
amazing potential they all have. As<br />
long as I continue to learn and grow<br />
as a photographer, I hope to do this<br />
for many years to come. teenLOOK<br />

a film icon<br />
remembering<br />
James<br />
Dean<br />
60 PHOTO teenlook.ca CREDIT | issue / HULTON <strong>#3</strong> ARCHIVE/GETTY IMAGES
James Byron Dean<br />
When it comes to iconic film stars<br />
and celebrities, usually three<br />
names will come to mind. Marylin<br />
Monroe, Elvis Presley, and<br />
James Dean.<br />
The film industry of the 50s was<br />
mostly filled with Biblical epics and<br />
Historical Masterpieces. Life on screen<br />
was portrayed as idyllic and perfect.<br />
But there was an restless group of the<br />
viewing audience that wanted to see<br />
life the way it really was for them.<br />
America's restless youth.<br />
These teenagers instantly identified<br />
with James' onscreen performance of<br />
Cal Trask in East of Eden, a role that<br />
mirrored James' own life. His role of a<br />
despondent son, without a mother and<br />
unable to please his father, came to life<br />
easily and honestly on screen. So real<br />
in fact that this relatively unknown<br />
actor sat down to watch the screening<br />
of the film, completely unrecognized,<br />
but by the end, he walked out a star. It<br />
happened that fast.<br />
Up to this point, James had always<br />
been pursuing his acting career.<br />
Appearing in some commercials, and<br />
on film and stage, but it wasn't until<br />
1951 when he moved to New York to<br />
pursue acting seriously. He wanted<br />
nothing else than to become a star.<br />
Life was hard, and he was often broke<br />
and unable to pay his rent; sometimes<br />
going days between meals. Never<br />
giving up on his dreams, he was always<br />
searching for the next gig to propel<br />
him to stardom.<br />
He was a difficult actor to work with<br />
for both fellow actors and directors<br />
alike. He would continuously do his<br />
own thing during rehearsals. Making<br />
life difficult for everyone on set, but<br />
when it came time to perform, then his<br />
true grit and honesty would shine, and<br />
that's what caught peoples attention.<br />
words by Mr. G<br />
Off the set, he was reticent and moody.<br />
If you came up to him as a fan or<br />
showing him your appreciation for his<br />
work and gushing over him, he wasn't<br />
interested. He wanted the honest<br />
opinion of people who saw him and<br />
his work for what it was.<br />
Genuine.<br />
At first glance, many people didn't<br />
think much of the young actor. He<br />
never carried himself as a star or acted<br />
that way. Most often, the complete<br />
opposite. Remaining quiet and aloof at<br />
events, preferring to be on his own.<br />
The most significant danger in James'<br />
life was his lack of fear. He loved speed<br />
and was becoming an exceptional race<br />
car driver in between filming. He loved<br />
motorcycles and fast cars.<br />
His acting career was brief, with only<br />
just a little over a year's worth of film<br />
work, making three films in total. East<br />
of Eden, Rebel without a cause, and<br />
Giant.<br />
Even in that short period, James<br />
Dean has become one of the most<br />
recognizable household names. His<br />
portrayal and personification of the<br />
American teenager through his life<br />
and films has made him unforgettable.<br />
Sadly, his career and life were cut short<br />
while on route to a race. September 30,<br />
1955, James' Porsche 550 Spyder was<br />
involved in an accident, and he was<br />
killed at the age of 24.<br />
The two latter films were released after<br />
his death, and he was nominated for<br />
two academy awards.<br />
A hollywood legend and icon.<br />
His life cut short, but he lives on in his<br />
persona and influence. teenLOOK<br />

“There is no simple explanation for why he has come to mean so much to so<br />
many people today. Perhaps it is because, in his acting, he had the intuitive<br />
talent for expressing the hopes and fears that are a part of all young people…<br />
In some movie magic way, he managed to dramatize brilliantly the questions<br />
every young person in every generation must resolve.”<br />

Jenny, the older of the two, pursued<br />

worked in retail and restaurant management<br />
for nearly a decade. Ready to<br />
start on her journey and spread her<br />
creative wings, she decided to start a<br />
new venture with her sister.<br />
Chelsea, younger by three years, is an<br />

education for real-world experience,<br />
she rose through the ranks of<br />
retail management positions in various<br />

Sofia<br />
Filzi<br />
Meet Sofia, a 12 year-old<br />
model from Calgary, Aberta.<br />
Sofia is a typical 12-year old girl who<br />
loves to play sports and made every<br />
team in her first year eligible in Junior<br />
High (Grade 7). Some of her favourite<br />
sports are volleyball, badminton, flag<br />
football and soccer. Coming from a<br />
home with a brother with disabilities,<br />
Sofia has a good head on her<br />
shoulders. She is empathetic, kind and<br />
outgoing. She would love to pursue a<br />
career in modelling or acting, but she<br />
also understands that she is still young,<br />
and there is lots of life to be had before<br />
her time comes.<br />
As they say,<br />
"this is a marathon; not a sprint."<br />
Some of Sofia's accomplishments:<br />
• Runner up at Jr Miss Calgary in<br />
February 2018<br />
• Faces West International/<br />
Vancouver – Sofia received 11 call<br />
backs from modelling agents from<br />
around the globe, but as expected<br />
most asked to follow her progress<br />
as she was still young. One from<br />
Paris asked for 6-month updates.<br />
• Sofia was chosen to model in the<br />
<strong>2019</strong> look book of Faun Studios<br />
(Marissa Clark Designer) who was<br />
featured at NYFW this past winter.<br />

Count what you love about yourself.<br />
This can sometimes be tricky… you may think the<br />
idea of sitting down and writing up what you love<br />
about yourself strange, but it will help you so much<br />
in low moments. In difficult times, when you really<br />
aren't feeling your best, looking back at what you are<br />
proud about or even some of your accomplishments<br />
can make a huge difference in how you think. Just<br />
remember this- we have low moments so we can<br />
appreciate the high, and everything will work itself out.<br />

have not always been as healthy as it is today. Just<br />
like everyone else, I've struggled with feeling bad<br />
about myself, doubting every action. It's normal,<br />
and it's not something we can avoid. However,<br />
this is something we can learn to deal with and<br />
learn to make it better. Over the last few years, I've<br />
realized a few things we can do to help how we<br />
feel about ourselves. These suggestions aren't<br />
things that are going to make you wake up and<br />
never have doubts about yourself again, but they<br />
are aspects that count! Last month I spoke about<br />
taking care of our outside, now let's talk about the<br />
inside. Mental Health is an essential idea to me,<br />
which is why I am honoured to share my thoughts<br />
on the subject here in Teen Look Magazine.<br />
Don't forget the fact that you are your most<br />
judgmental critic.<br />
Sometimes we think that others will notice the "huge"<br />
zit on your face or even the tiniest imperfection. In fact,<br />
you are the one that will notice it the most. We can't let<br />
the small imperfections decide how we feel, or how<br />
much confidence we carry. In reality, good people and<br />
good friends won't like you based on your looks, but<br />
instead your inside- your personality. A friend who is not<br />
there for you when you aren't looking your best is most<br />
likely a friend you don't want to have. You want to find<br />
people who only care about the true you.<br />
Know who you are and what you want.<br />
An unbearable amount of stress and disappointment is<br />
caused by comparing yourself to others. Everyone has<br />
their own unique purpose, goals, and vision. If we waste<br />
time looking at who is better, who is prettier, etc., we will<br />
feel the lowest about ourselves. It's crucial to find your<br />
goal, and then work towards it.<br />
Be appreciative and count your blessings.<br />
I like to take a few moments at the end of each day to<br />
reflect on the good in my life. I find staying positive, and<br />
looking at the glass half full helps me realize the bright<br />
side. Some examples of areas I express gratitude<br />
towards include friends and family. Never forget who is<br />
always there to support you when you fall.<br />
Surround yourself with people that make you feel<br />
amazing.<br />
The first step to healthy self-esteem and confidence<br />
is spending time with the people who care about you<br />
most. If you surround yourself with people who insult<br />
you and make you feel low about yourself, it can hurt<br />
the way you view yourself. I challenge you right now<br />
to express your gratitude towards one person who is<br />
always in your corner. The person who makes you feel<br />
fantastic about yourself.<br />

Madi is the perfect mix of creative<br />

only to go home and get creative with her<br />
make-up for an afternoon photo-shoot.<br />
Summer afternoons usually include<br />
swimming laps of the local pool, Madi<br />
especially loves the butterfly, and has<br />
the medals to show for her dedication.<br />
Madison is looking forward to a strong<br />
modelling career, which she would<br />
love to balance with a career as a<br />
make-up artist. Her absolute favourite<br />
part of modelling has been meeting<br />
with other creative souls who aren’t<br />
afraid to try something new… and<br />
always have fun! “Same, same…. Is<br />
boring”.<br />

USA<br />
Starting out<br />
Alyssa Lynn is a 17<br />
year-old Country<br />
music artist based out<br />
of Nashville, TN. She<br />
started out singing<br />
karaoke when she<br />
was four years old,<br />
going every single<br />
weekend, and eventually<br />
singing in front<br />
of large crowds and<br />
loving every moment<br />
of it!<br />
In her words<br />
I started playing<br />
guitar when I was<br />
10 years old. I come<br />
from a musical<br />
family so it’s in my<br />
blood. When I was<br />
14 I knew that this is<br />
what I wanted to do.<br />
My goal is to travel<br />
around and share my<br />
story and music with<br />
others. That’s where<br />
I see myself in the<br />
future, connecting<br />
with people all over<br />
through music.<br />

of modern country music. The singer-songwriter-guitarist<br />

Jadia<br />
Owen<br />
Meet Jadia, a 15 year-old<br />
model from Edmonton, AB.<br />
Jadia comes from a family of 4 and has one younger<br />
sister (Chloe) who is also considering modelling!<br />
Although I am pretty shy and quiet among my peers,<br />
I have always loved posing and having my picture<br />
taken since I was very young. I do my hair and makeup<br />
for the majority of my Instagram photos as I have a<br />
real passion for makeup, especially.<br />
Just over the last six months, I have focused on<br />
building up my followers on Instagram (11k) and<br />
promoting myself as a model. I have recently just<br />
finished my professional portfolio and plan to pursue<br />
more jobs and possibly sign with an agency soon.<br />
I have been a dancer of all genres since I was four<br />
years of age and enjoy cheer and art.<br />
I love to listen to modern music while sketching<br />
and painting as those are my ways to escape.<br />
Architecture fascinates me, so travel is a huge<br />
passion of mine. I have always loved looking at new<br />
architecture style, and I hope to one day become an<br />
architect alongside modelling on a professional level.<br />
I have always been a natural in front of the camera and<br />
spend any free time I have scouting out photoshoot<br />
locations and posing for my Instagram account.<br />
My new-found confidence and the support of my<br />
family, especially my mother, who has been by my side<br />
for everything, has brought me to where I am today.<br />
Although I plan to move away to work, travel and<br />
model, I will always keep my family close. I love<br />
how the camera brings out my true self and can<br />
also allow me to take on a new persona. Everyone<br />
assumes I am much older, and I guess I can say I am<br />
in a hurry to grow up while still enjoying the fun that<br />
comes along with being young.<br />

Kaye<br />
Dalalo<br />
Meet Kaye, a 17 year-old<br />
model from Edmonton, AB.<br />
Kaye moved from Philippines 4 years<br />
ago to reunite with relatives and is the<br />
middle child in her family.<br />
My hobbies are singing, and playing<br />
my favourite sport, badminton. I also<br />
workout at least three days a week, no<br />
matter how busy I am for me to get fit<br />
and to stay healthy. Since I was a kid,<br />
I’ve always wanted to do modelling,<br />
and right now I want to pursue it, even<br />
more, looking for more opportunities.<br />
I took the 'Walk the talk' course because<br />
I wasn’t sure how to get started and<br />
wasn't really that confident in myself.<br />
After the course, my confidence level<br />
was totally boosted and it was a great<br />
experience. I learned so much! All<br />
thanks to Ms. Dara & Christine, Ernest,<br />
EDSNA & to everyone involved.<br />
