Meet our featured beauty with brains Jasmin Shojai, a model based in Sydney, Australia. She is an internationally published model, entrepreneur as well as an aspiring actress.
Here is her story.
“My dream to become a ‘supermodel’ began when I was a young girl. I was inspired by many models and TV shows such as ‘The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’, and ‘Next Top Model’. My journey in modelling all began in 2015. I have since taken the industry by storm, competing in the National finals of pageants in Australia, including Maxim’s Australian Swimwear Model of the Year, while also appearing in Playboy and Maxim magazines internationally, and appearing on National TV, most recently Channel Ten’s The Sunday Project.
One of my biggest achievement so far has been winning the National title of ‘Australia’s Top Glamour Model of 2017’, which has since given me a lot of local and international exposure.
Modelling and acting has been my passion since the beginning. I am striving to achieve many more inspiring goals that I have set up for myself, within the modelling, business and screen acting industry.
When I am not working I love going to the beach and keeping up with my fitness regime. I love animals and am a big believer in justice. I want to do more charity work and hope to make a difference in society.”
Here is an interview with her.
1. Who or what inspired you to become a model?
As I was growing up I was always inspired by the models I saw on TV and in magazines, for example ‘The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’, ‘Next Top Model’ and Vogue. They were really amazing to see. I did my very first photoshoot 2 and a half years ago and I remember having so much fun. It was such a wonderful experience, I wanted to be there all day. Since then I have never looked back.
2. What is your advice to girls who want to be successful models when they grow up?
Definitely be persistent and most importantly be yourself. The industry undoubtedly is a competitive industry, for everyone. Invest time and also money into developing yourself, and your career. Things like one on one posing lessons, catwalk training and short/long term courses make a massive difference. Especially for beginners, you need to know what you are doing and have a foundation of knowledge, and training.
3. Which part of your job do you find most exciting?
Every second of my career is always exciting. Being on set and working for the camera is what I love most.
4. What are your future goals?
I have many future goals. I look to progress with my career as a model and do covers for major magazines. Being featured in Playboy, Maxim and FHM has been so phenomenal. I would love to be on their covers one day. With my developing career as an actress I look to act in a Television series and in Films one day. At the moment I am doing acting classes and I am enjoying it so much. There are a lot of amazing things to look forward to in the future.
