OMP Hot Model of the Week!

One Model Place Official Blog

The best place to find the hottest models on the Internet, along with news, reviews, and interviews with top people in the modeling and photography industry.

Ashley (OMP Model #371407) describes herself as open-minded, determined, and full of personality -- all great traits that make her a top working model in the industry.

She has modeled for the past 11 years, originally getting her start as a teenager in Chicago. "When I was 14, I had an agent who was helping me establish my career with photo shoots and acting demo reels. But when I graduated high school I decided it was more important for me to get my education, so I enlisted in the military."

Toward the last year of her military enlistment, she realized that she wanted to give modeling another try. "I became serious about modeling as a career. I signed with an agency in St. Louis -- Toni's International Models -- and very soon found myself having to take leave days (I only got 30 days a year) to do paying modeling assignments."

She discovered One Model Place through her good photographer friend Reginald. "He got me re-interested in modeling after he told me about One Model Place. Since then, OMP has helped me career in so many ways... It's a place where I can showcase all of my work without worry about people judging my style. I've got great jobs castings, signed with multiple agencies, and it's introduced me to outstanding photographers and models. If it wasn't for OMP, I never would have received the job casting that led me to work for a great casino in Mississippi where I met my fiance Ian Nathaniel (OMP Member #36124). This site has done more for me then just help my career -- it's brought me the man I've been waiting for and my own personal live-in photographer!"

Some of Ashley's favorite experiences have been modeling for fine art nude figure classes at local colleges. "I can't remember how I originally was recommended for the booking. But it's helped me tremendously as an artist, by teaching me to concentrate on the 360-view concept of posing in the round, since the modeling platform is usually in the middle of the classroom and you are surrounded by students.

Even though she had done nude shoots in the past, Ashley remembers being nervous her first day because she had never been naked in front of that many people at one time. "Once that first class began and I dropped my robe, the students started working with their paint brushes and pencils, and all that nervousness just faded away. On the class break, I would walk around the room and look at all the students' work. It was very interesting to me to see how each student had a different perspective of my body and how the angle of my body/pose had translated onto paper. Doing this taught me many new poses and new ways to get emotions across." Just re-hired for another semester, Ashley highly recommends that every model tries posing for an art class at least once in their career.

She recalls some of her other favorite shoots. "I had a great time shooting my first print campaign and billboard for 'Rent & Roll.' I honestly had no idea that I was going to have a billboard for this job. The day I found out was when I drove into St. Louis for a meeting with a client. I was driving on the highway past the Cardinals stadium and BAM! there I was. I almost crashed my car. I was still in the military when this happened, and it was really cool."

Ashley lists some of the other rewards and challenges of modeling. "The rewards would be seeing myself grow as a model over the years that I have been doing this. It's helped me more with my confidence as a woman, and taught me that no one can promote you better then yourself. The friends I've made along the way have been some of the best. Challenges for me have included the ups and downs when it comes to castings that I was very excited about but never got picked for, and dealing with photographers that tried to take advantage of me when I was first starting out ."

Nude modeling for the camera also has its specific benefits and drawbacks. "I never really did much nude modeling on camera until I met my fiance. I had only done a few test shoots and, out of those images, very few are in my portfolio today. As we started working together Ian nurtured something inside of me that made me completely uninhibited as an artist. I have learned so much from him as his muse, not just in modeling but in all aspects of photography since I started shooting photos last May. The connection we have on camera is unlike anything I've ever experienced or thought possible. Nude modeling has helped me love all of my body and push my limits.

"One of the biggest challenges in nude modeling for me is actually finding places to shoot where I don't have to worry or be distracted about people interfering or causing disruption to my shoots. It's sad that we were all born naked in this world, but when people see a woman naked in public they automatically want to judge that person and make them feel like they're doing something wrong. I wish I could shoot anywhere, anytime I wanted to, naked."

Ashley has the following advice for models just starting out. "Find good quality photographers that take the time to edit your pictures and really concentrate on getting good headshots. Don't be afraid to limit yourself to one style of modeling based upon what the industry says you should do or be. Remember that for every ten no's to a job there is a yes, and keep faith in yourself if this is what you really want to do. Network like you breath air -- the more genuine people you meet, the more chances you have of being successful.

"I also suggest that you shared copyrights on any shoots that you do that are TFP, and with that being said don't be pushed into shooting any type of shots you are not comfortable with. Practice poses by picking up magazines and make yourself go through each pose in front of a mirror dressed first , and then naked. Learn how your body looks from all angles, and see what works and doesn't work for you. In the end, find the best support you can and be true to those people. You never know when you may need votes for contests, a last-minute makeup artist, or even an image to send to magazines on a two-day deadline."

Disabled AGAIN from FACEBOOK :(

Well it seems that once AGAIN my facebook profile has been disabled.

Seems that trying to succeed in the St. Louis entertainment industry is all about facebook wars nowadays, trying to ban you for either being good at promoting or for having a body, and listing you on the dirty.

In defense I quote from Maino & Tpain on this one

'All the Above"
-

Here is the Ashley Salazar version:

It's easy to hate,
It's harder to love me
Ya'll don't understand,
Ya'll quickly to judge me
Put your foot in my heels and combat boots,
Picture you livin' my life,
Picture you stuck in a broken family,
The oldest of five,
Mother to all, child to none
Picture you wasting your life,
Thought I married for love,
Only to be abused and used
Picture you facing that child,
Trying to make it work for her
Picture you beating the odds,
Now taking it out in the cage
Military Veteran
Yes, I carried those caskets
Helped countless discover and beat Breast Cancer
Picture you willing to bleed,
Always red roses when that bastard was sorry
Picture you wearing the scar
I have them to prove it
I found my way out of that pain in my writing,
the etching on my own back
Thank you for making me struggle,
Thank you for making me grind
I perfected my hustle,
when you disable and list me on the dirty
call me a whore, say I don't love my child
Tell me the world ain't mine
My daughter is my # 1 fan
as I am hers
You've been seein' me lately,
I'm a miracle baby
Getting those Magazine Tare Sheets and Cover offers now everyday,
Being the female lead in that movie,
Making that money for my baby girl,
Running this town in promotions
One day that little girl will be the next top fashion designer in the world
I refuse to lose
This what the world hate has done made me
I'd put that on my father's
Except they aren't there
Being that mother mine never was to me,
Tryna hope for tomorrow
When I think that I can't,
I envision a life with out pain,
I envision the of joy,
I envision being at peace
If the world was perfect,
All lose who love me behind me
Ain't you happy I makin it?
That I'm making a statement?
Take a look and you can tell
That I'm destined for greatness

Time to come clean!

Ashley is coming clean about her desires to be published in Maxim, FHM and Playboy. These are exclusive picture's from a Playboy style submission test shoot. Wish her luck!
