We had the good fortune of connecting with Aniah Paris and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aniah, what are you inspired by?
I am heavily inspired by fashion. Fashion has been my first love ever since I was a child. I love to incorporate fashion into my work as a model.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I have been working as a dedicated and passionate model since early 2018. I model to express who I am as an individual through fashion and creative concepts. I love the entire process leading up to my photoshoots. From deciding my hairstyle to trying different makeup looks to being my own personal stylist for my shoots. Recently I’ve also been more into creating behind the scenes content from my photoshoots. I love to look back at those videos to remind myself everything it took to get the final image. Some obstacles I have faced and still face as a model are rejection, lack of creative motivation, wanting to give up etc. Those moments are not easy but somehow I always get back to a place of wanting to continue and I am proud of myself for not giving up.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
For breakfast we would definitely go to Tupelo honey or Ritual House. My favorite lunch spots are Condado tacos and Nicky’s Thai Kitchen. For dessert, Burgatory has the BEST milkshakes hands down. As for a chill hang out spot, I recommend Frick park . It’s super calming walking on the trails and sitting by the water. Great place to clear your mind, and write.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to give a special shoutout to Camille Cupid! Camiie is a very talented photographer and content creator. We have been working together for almost 6 years now and have grown so much within our crafts together. She has also played a big role in my evolvement as a content creator.
