"Joanna took my instructions and made them her own, she was absolutely brilliant. She wasn't at all like other models I had met - she asked out loud what I wanted and had ideas. It must have been the quickest shoot I ever did. After I felt like I never wanted to work again unless my model was an actor" |
Joanna has walked for various runway/make up shows at LA/NYC fashion week events, as well as fashion videos for Berlin and Paris fashion week 2012, and rock and roll music videos.
Joanna is often asked to appear in music videos and has been photographed for four rock and roll album covers and EP sleeves (Spectorbullets with Russell Burn ex-Fire Engines, Robert King/The Scars, Motopony, The Band of Holy Joy) with worldwide distribution/outlets (Mojo, Uncut, Q magazine, MTV).
Joanna will work closely with top photographers in developing their artistic body of work, and is often chosen as their feature model - including, among many others, award winning photographers David Katzenstein and Sherrie Nickol for projects in New York City, and Kat McDonald conceptual photographer.
Joanna is one of the world's genuinely beautiful women. She has a rare, overwhelming star-presence, an energy that shines brightly. It's what makes her a muse to all those around her - photographers, writers, directors, musicians, painters. It is a mesmerising beauty - inside and out, charming yet fierce. The camera will always adore her."

"It gives me endless enjoyment to be featured as 2014/15 face for Cecilia Lundqvist hand crafted vintage animal masks. I love the allure and attraction of being photographed in masquerade - to be exposed and hidden. My biggest inspiration in my own art - for photography, acting, modelling (as the art of self portrait), and my writing - is Claude Cahun: the endless reinvention of self, often by masquerade, or role play, or pseudonym. I am my own canvas. I have more than one life."
