Sophie Collins used to be shy as a kid that’s why the thought of entering the modeling industry never even entered her mind. She had offers in the past to get into the industry but she declined to pursue modeling because she lacked confidence back then. It wasn’t until she started getting modeling jobs from Instagram when she began gaining more confidence within herself – that’s when she felt she was ready to embrace the industry. Fast forward to today, she’s now 24 and she’s currently under the management of one of the top modeling agencies in Australia – Royalle Modelling. She also recently appeared in Maxim Australia which is a big accomplishment for her career.

StarCentral Magazine recently caught up with Sophie to discuss her career in modeling and here’s what went down:

Could you please provide background about yourself and how were you actually ‘discovered’?

I was actually discovered when I was 12. However, growing up, I was very shy so I declined any request to pursue modeling. It wasn’t until I was 19 when I started to gain more confidence in myself – that’s when I slowly started picking up modeling jobs on Instagram. Now I’m 24, I’m with one of the top modeling agencies in Australia – Royalle Modelling and I was recently in Maxim Australia which was a huge accomplishment!

What does it mean to you to be a model?

Confidence and embracing yourself 100%! I’m not perfect, I have my imperfections – all women do. To me, it’s being confident in your own skin and inspiring other women to be body-confident and to love themselves. It’s about being unapologetically true and authentic to yourself.

What sort of person usually follows you? Who’s your main audience?

Aside from modeling I also own a florist business in Sydney so I have a mix of followers from artists, floral designers, fashion bloggers, models, etc..

What’s the biggest challenge to modeling?

My biggest challenge was my confidence. It’s very confronting when you’re in front of the camera.

Have you always wanted to be in the modeling industry?

Yes! I was just always so shy.

What’s your personal mission in life?

To create a life I love and inspire other women globally.

What has been the most memorable experience of your career so far?

Definitely my recent trip with Maxim Australia to Samoa. It was so much fun and Samoa is such a beautiful country! I made great memories and friends. Stay tuned to Maxim Australia’s Instagram to see when they release the photos for travel destination Samoa.

Who have been the most interesting people you’ve met so far?

The Maxim team! Bella, the producer of Maxim is super helpful and hands-on with helping you grow. Also, Rocky Bachelor, he is an amazing photographer and I admire his portfolio. After Maxim, I hired him to shoot for my business.

How active are you on social media?

Very active! I could use a detox from social media, however, I have to promote my business and myself.

To be true to yourself. Also to keep in mind that the world can be a cruel place – it can be, especially in the modeling industry.

What are your future plans? Inside your career or out of it.

I’m very traditional. I really want a big family (like 6 kids lol). I also want to promote my business more.

4. Complete this sentence: “If I had no fear, I’d…” Bungee jump!
