Interview with Gabriella Tanner
Gabriella Tanner is a 23-year old model residing in Los Angeles, California.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Gabriella Tanner and I was born in Los Angeles, CA. I come from a diverse background. My hobbies include modeling, hula hoop dancing and tattoos. I am currently working as a makeup artist and model.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I first came into the world of modeling before I even knew how to speak. I was a gerber baby and then around age 11 I started doing print and commercial work. Around age 16 is when I became more interested in fashion and started doing fashion shows and edgy shoots. From there on I fell in love with the industry.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
In 5 to 10 years I see myself doing something creative. It’s where I thrive and am most happy. Id like to be styling or maybe having my own line of clothing or jewelry.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
My world is always changing. I’ve been around the industry for a while and have come in contact with all different artists: photographer, makeup artist, stylist. I tend to always have cool exciting things coming my way, which I’m grateful for. Lately I’ve been hula hoop dancing and doing photoshoots for different clothing companies.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
Luckily I’ve had only great experiences and have met some really talented people. One of my favorite experiences was getting to work with nylon japan while I was in NYC.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
I had a shoot a while ago and was wearing a long gown with a black piece of fabric in the back that was getting blown by a fan. Long story short it ended up getting caught in the fan. I thought I was going to get sucked up and chopped to bits.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
I think tattoos and tattooed models should get more love. Although I feel like they are being except more in society the modeling world is still iffy about them.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
The main exercise I get is from hula hoop dancing and practicing. It’s a great core and arm work out. As for my diet I have been vegetarian for almost 6 years. While I do love a good cheese pizza I try to eat as healthy as possible.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
Random fact most people don’t know about me is that I taught myself American Sign Language through a deaf television show.
Would you change anything about yourself (physical or otherwise) if you could?
I wish I was taller, it would really expand my modeling career.
What features do you look for in a partner?
Physically I’m attracted to guys who have scruffy beards, tattoos are a plus, good shape, and it’s game on if he has a man bun! Mentally I like someone who has a sense of humor, romantic, and is goal oriented.
