    Interview with published photographer Russell from North Carolina

    Get to know photographer Russell, who runs Rsellos Photography, his favorite photography accessories, how the experience is like working with all the beautiful models and his 5 favorite photos taken so far.

    Hi Russell, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. Please share with us a little about yourself and where you’re from?

    Hey! I’m a published photographer based in North Carolina, specializing in model and automotive photography, and also experience in product and real estate photography as well. I travel fairly often, so much of my work is in up and down the east coast and in California.

    When did you develop an interest photography and turn it into such a success?

    When I started competing with a show car at car events, I would take event photos with a pocket camera and post on forums. I received a lot of positive feedback on those simple pics, so from then, I decided to pursue becoming a photographer… kept on shooting since 2007 and here I am today!

    How will you describe your style?

    A sort of mix of glamour and lifestyle.

    What are your favorite photography accessories?

    I like using a portable softbox and pocket flashes. I try keep it simple but effective (and fit everything into a backpack lol).

    Can you share with us 5 of your all time favorite photos taken?

    Sure, see attached.

    How is it like working with all the beautiful models you shoot for?

    It is definitely a blessing… fun, though it can be hard work!

    Have there been any funny or embarrassing moments during some of your shoots?

    I fell off a stage at a club one time while snapping a pic… that hurt! Another time, I did a photoshoot after coming from the bar, late night… could hardly concentrate haha but the images were a hit!

    Can you briefly describe to our readers your photographic workflow after a shooting session is completed?

    Typically I would a quick review of the images from the photoshoot, and send the images for the clients to select the ones they need edited. Once I receive their list, I’d would proceed to edit and send to the client but the deadline.

    It’s a great pleasure to feature you on on SimplySxy, Russell. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?

    Something so attractive, and time seems to stop -you forget where you are, and nothing else matters for that brief moment.

    Amanda Toh is photogenic and has a ton of hobbies!

    SimplySxy catches up with Amanda Toh from Singapore as she shares her experience participating in Miss Universe Singapore 2013 and her beauty secret to looking so fantastic.

    Hi Amanda, thank you very much for your time taken to answer our questions on SimplySxy.  Can you share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

    I’m Amanda, 23 years old and am currently an undergraduate in Murdoch University majoring in International Business. Currently working in AXA Insurance as a financial planner and a talent with AnticipatingDiva and Phantom Models. Was a finalist and Miss Photogenic in Miss Universe Singapore 2013.

    How was the experience of participating in Miss Universe Singapore 2013 like for you?

    Miss Universe Singapore was my first pageant and it was a lot to manage as I was only 20 back then. It was not as easy as it seems as it was extremely nerve wreaking – having to catwalk in a bikini and designer gown in front of hundreds of people gave me butterflies. It definitely boosted my confidence in front of the camera and with my stage presence after. I made new friends and even met my best friend in this pageant which was one of the best things that ever happened because it’s never easy finding a genuine friend who take cares of you and watches out for you like a elder sister. Not only that, we had to stay in best shape and prepare ourselves for the pageant. It was one of the best experience I ever had in my life.

    Do you have any hobbies?

    Tons of them! I love traveling and exploring new things in life. Meeting people along the way and understanding different culture and history. I love sports and especially yoga, swimming, hiking and running. Movies, reading and cooking too! I used to play the piano, violin and the Chinese instrument Pipa for 7 years.

    As an avid traveller, which is one city/country you will love to visit but have yet to do so?

    Well, I would have to say Egypt and South Africa!

    What is your beauty secret to looking so good? 

    Working out and having a balance in what you eat. I indulge in desserts, especially dark chocolates but I believe everything has to have a balance. I visit my facial place once a month and I use a whole range of organic products from Australia.

    Are you more of a lingerie or bikini girl?  

    This is a tough one but it depends on how I feel, and if I have to choose one.. I would say I’m a bikini girl. I love the sun and the beach! But I love my lingerie too!

    What is the naughtiest thing you have ever done?

    Haha it’s a secret and it’s only meant for my boyfriend to know.

    It’s been a great pleasure to have you on SimplySxy, Amanda. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Confidence, intelligence and a good personality is sexy.
