She’s my favorite French person in the world and her photos are pretty wild. Take caution on this blog, it’s highly addictive.

“When you don’t have many friends and you don’t have a social life you’re kind of left looking at things, not doing things. There’s a weird freedom in not having people treat you like you’re part of society or where you have to fulfill social relationships.”

Monique

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 10:37:00 -0500

I met Monique while I was in Zurich and although we didn’t speak much, I knew there was something unconventional about her. After talking with her for awhile I came to learn about her artwork and I was blown away.

On bad days I like to walk in the forest and scream out loud.

I get angry when I’m hungry.

One if my dreams is to live in a place where life is not so arranged like Switzerland.

I want to live with my paintings, my atelier and my dogs, everything in one big place.

I never think before I paint, I begin with a point or a line and then 8 hours or so later I have a picture painted with my feelings.

I love dogs more than most humans.

I don’t give a fuck that people don’t understand me, it’s my life and I arrange it how I like.

I want to work with people and art from everywhere.

I’m a person who lives now, not in the past, not in the future.

As a child I was very calm and hid my real personality.

I’m very straight forward and I find that most people can’t handle this and think I’m arrogant.

I’m not very ambitious at all and its a thing I hate about myself.

I don’t think everything needs a meaning, it just is what it is.

Sarah Lee

Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:12:00 -0400

Sarah is the most refreshing person I have encountered over the past few weeks - without a doubt! Her ability to capture breathtaking moments in time through her photographs often leaves me speechless. She is an extremely talented photographer, which is why I am so excited she is joining the AQO family. You can check out more her work here!

I like getting stuff done quickly and casually, with the least amount of people required.

Up to this point of sort of ‘discovering’ what I’m most passionate about, I’ve kind of just gone with the flow of letting things happen and have taken opportunities as they’ve come.

I basically grew up in the water.

If I wasn’t into photography I’d probably wanna give culinary school a try, gotta live up to the name, yah know?

Australia is the place where I’ve felt like I belong more than anywhere else.

My dream is to go to Tahiti/French Polynesia, Fiji, more of Indonesia, Thailand, Iceland. Basically anywhere coastal with surf.

I just don’t feel attached to anyone or anything to make me really miss people or places.

I’d never own a house when I’m older, I’d rather just be able to pick up and travel wherever I can.

I’m a pretty predictable person.

Nancy Reyes

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 14:26:00 -0400

There’s much to be said about the essence of Nancy but you’d have to spend hours talking with her in order to begin to start comprehending it all. Living in Chicago, she is most definitely on her way to making a name for herself in that city. Check out her blog and see what I mean.

It’s strange how silly, insignificant things can lead into something else..

I just tried to imagine myself without photography and I don’t think I can be happy without it.

I went to NYC, I was disappointed. I want to give a second chance though. Just for the men! and I guess my career…

I wouldnt date a guy who took a too much of a liking to me shooting nudity.

I just wanna do what I do. I don’t care for what people think about it. I shoot for myself and myself alone.

I LOVE animals. If I grow to be very old, I’d prob end up as a cat lady with lovely nude woman portraits all over my home that I took with my old tattooed lover.

I wanna live a simple life, taking pictures, serving, and getting girls all dolled up.

It bothers me when men are like “omg your so lucky you get to shoot with girls all day.” It’s digusting and to me it’s my passion, and for it to be mistreated like that gets you on my bad side.

I believe things happen for a reason at the same time I don’t really give that much thought either. Just roll with the punches.

I think anyone who says they are complex, isn’t.

I’ve been obsessed with Lolita and thats where a lot of my inspiration and love springs from.

I believe there is someone looking out for me. I call it god out of comfort.

I’m usually the responsible one you see.

Jenah Yamamoto

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:05:00 -0400

I found Jenah all the way out in Honolulu, Hawaii and, let me say, I was impressed immediately. At only 18, this bombshell has her fingers in all types of artistic mediums not to mention her mentality is off the charts. Check out her blog and prepare to be blown away. Travel Buddy and Personal Paparazzi 2012!

I love trouble.

I like to take photos, nothing serious. Smoke weed and do graffiti.

I hate modeling.

Lots of people know me for specific things I do but maybe a handful of people know the real me.

I wanna visit Greece, Italy, Thailand, Bali, Vietnam, Brazil oh and Japan!

When I wanna do something it always happens.

I drink for a living, I don’t sleep, I’m always fucked up and my body hates me.

I know that nothing good comes without work.

I’m an Aries, born leader kinda thing, head bitch!

I’m obsessed with shoes!

I have pretty high expectations and I’m PICKY!

My friends hella use me but I use them too, friendship should be a give and take.

I have goals and dreams and I don’t just expect them to be handed to me

I really wanna make a name for myself in graffiti. I wanna take it further, establish myself.

I’m deff independent. I don’t like having to care/worry/think about another person besides myself.

I’d love to welcome a fresh new artist named Jax to the AQO family. His art pieces are absolutely stunning to say the least!

Hattie Watson

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 17:47:00 -0400

I had the lovely delight of catching up with Hattie while she was in LA doing photoshoots. Be sure to check her out here!

Before modeling I was basically working shitty 8-5 jobs.

I want to design clothes or be a food photographer.

I would like to live in multiple cities throughout my life if possible.

The meaning of life is to just live.

If i could start over I wouldn’t change a single thing.

I love driving, I can do at least 10-13 hours in a day.

I am a strawberry blonde with freckles, fair skin and hazel eyes.

I think all experiences are worth having, even the worst of the worst. They need to happen, you got to have balance.

I’m very quiet and reserved, people usually think I’m hard to approach or not friendly.

I love people watching.

My favorite part of modeling is working with amazing artists and traveling.

I don’t really wear makeup that much and I hardly fix my hair, I’m pretty low maintenance.

I’m a long-term relationship girl usually. I don’t get into anything serious with anyone unless I feel its worth it.
