Interview: Model Heidi Zulechner (Austria)

Can you tell us a little about you?

I was born and raised in the country, one hour away from Vienna. I think I have the typical girl next door aditude. I love to do long walks with my dog and just be in the nature.

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

I think I would change my impatience and in this industry you need a lot of it .

How did you start modelling?

I got scouted at the age of 14 in a shopping Mall from a photograper. He asks if i wanted to do a shooting. But I did not take it serious at that time. Some years later I applied to agencies by myself. Really professional I do it since 6 years.

What do you think of the work as a model?

I have found something that I enjoy doing. I feel like a lot of people don’t realize what an insight models have into a creative world. You learn so much.

How much work goes into a perfect picture and a woman looking the way she looks on a magazine cover. That’s a lot of work. Constant touch ups, perfect lighting, retouching, styling, a whole team that is there to make a woman as beautiful as possible.

What is your beauty regimen?

I don´t think I have a beauty regimen. I coud tell you that I drink a lot of water and go to bed before midnight but this is what the most of the models would say. So no, I dont think I have a regimen.

What are your plans for the future?

Doing this kind of job as long as possible and after that I would like to shoot kids fashion. Besides modelling I have started shooting kids and i like it very much. I love working with kids, that’s why I have also studied teaching for elementary school 5 years ago.

What are some of your favorite experiences so far?

Seeing myself on billboards and covers. For example I always take photos of it when I see myself hanging around in stores

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?

Never compare yourself to others. What is meant to happen, will happen. Be out there, be active, work hard on yourself. Be kind and professional. I it makes you uncomfortable or unhappy it might not be right.

What do you think of the magazine?

I like Modellenland for their great content. It always shows great Models and Photographers. Thanks for having me.
