Photography by Markét Bártová photography[/caption]Tell us about your career as model. How did you get started? I never thought anything like "I would like to be a model… what should I do?“ I was always surrounded by talented people. I also knew a few photographers and they asked me to model for them. Since then it has snowballed. My first photo shoot was in 2008, but I started to take modeling more seriously in 2014.Do you love any one genre of modelling more than another? It is hard to say because it varies. One shoot I could prefer elegant photos and then the next time I want to be a "hardcore hottie." :D Currently, I love dark conceptual photography although it is not the style I have in my portfolio. I would really like to do more work like that in the future.Tell us about your style! That separates you from other models? I try to combine elements of elegant and hardcore/metal style. I like to look sexy; I like short skirts and high heels. I am known for my crimson red hair and black-red tattoos. Those aspects are also contained in my model name – Michelle Crimson.What was your first shoot as a model like? It was in 2008. My friend was studying photography and asked me if I would pose for him. The shoot was taken in a cemetery with Gothic styling.Who are some of your biggest modelling inspirations? I like the work of Miss Overdose, Červena Fox, Sister Sinister, Brittanya Razavi, Jessica Seamons and Starfucked. I follow their pages and they inspire me, but I would never copy anyone.Let’s talk tattoos for a moment! What first drew you to tattoos? It may sound like a cliché but I always wanted a tattoo. When I was a child, my mother bought me an amazing toy – a tattoo set for children which consisted of a few stencils and 4 marker pens. When I was 22, I finally got a real one.Do you have a favourite tattoo experience/tattooist/tattoo? I have 5 tattoos. My favorite tattoo is the "metalheart“ writing on my chest. It is personal because it depicts me the most and it is placed in an important location – it is near the heart and not so easily concealable. All my tattoos are done at Inkoust Tattoo (Prague, Czech Republic).Are you planning any more for the future? Of course! I think tattoos are a real addiction I am planning to continue in building my collection but presently, I have other priorities so unfortunately I can´t afford to spend money on tattoos right now. But I would like to get a sleeve tattoo.You do everything thing from catwalks, music videos and hostessing! Which have you found to be the most difficult so far?I am not good at pretending so I am not a good actress. This is why I found acting in music videos as the most difficult. On the other side when you are in a catwalk, everyone is gazing at you and you have only one attempt to do it well. I have the most experience with hostessing.

I have always been a huge fan of piercings and tattoos, but of course stuff like that is not cheap and I’m a broke student at the moment. I’m currently saving up for my first tattoo and have discussed the concept I want with a very talented artist already, so hopefully it won’t take too long anymore.You’re also studying game design! Wow, that’s a lot of hard work. Do you think your fantastical photo shoots will ever inspire your game work, or vice versa?Yeah it’s quite a lot of work haha! But I really love it. I think I will have an advantage when we start designing characters and studying anatomy because of my experience with posing.What do you consider your career highlights so far? Since I’m not super experienced yet, I haven’t done that many incredibly exciting things, but the one big highlight has just been being able to work with photographers whose work I’ve been admiring for years. And of course getting interviewed for an awesome website such as yours is a really cool experience.If you could shoot with or for anyone, who would you choose and why?I’m a really big Ellen Von Unwerth fan, so modelling for her would be a dream come true. I know that’s never going to happen, but a girl can dream haha!Before we go, do you have any tips for new models that find you inspiring?Don’t be afraid to contact photographers, even if you think you’re not on a high enough level yet. Some rejection is unavoidable, but you’ll be amazed at how many photographers will actually say yes. Just be friendly, be humble, be well prepared and, above all, be safe!To find more of Siobhan’s work you can find her on her official modelling Facebook page or on ModelMayhem.
