I am grateful to have the opportunity to push for a diverse group of people, including models. It&#8217;s gratifying to see the final product and the beautiful imagery created by a team consisting of all multicultural backgrounds. I&#8217;m huge on representation because I feel the industry used to lack so much of it. I think we still have some improvements to make. However, I slowly see the progression. I also enjoy having the ability to travel for work. It&#8217;s allowed me to meet people from all around the world and has allowed me to experience and witness things that I otherwise would not be privy to. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What has been one of your favorite projects to work on? <\/strong><br \/>\nI would have to say photographing real people is the most fulfilling. I was given the opportunity to shoot in the islands of Tahiti for an iD.com article. In this specific article, they were paying homage to the island&#8217;s rich culture. We photographed NONAHERE Tahitian dance group on a holy land they call The Marae Arahurahu. The dancers were so incredibly talented and photographed so godly. It was one of the most epic shoots I have ever experienced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has your heritage played into\/inspired your work?<\/strong><br \/>\nI feel so grateful to have been raised by two Colombian parents. They&#8217;ve exposed me to so much art and dance. Dance is an element that I&#8217;ve always explored on my shoots. Also, being raised in Miami, where it&#8217;s so multicultural, made me understand how important that is to showcase that in my work. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there any Latinx talents to watch out for? <\/strong><br \/>\nI am obsessed with Colombian beauty <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/elaine-palacio\">Elaine Lorelin<\/a> @ Women, Puerto Rican <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/alexis-chaparro\">Alexis Chaparro<\/a> @ Next Models, and Mexican beauty <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/magdaleno-delgado\">Magdaleno<\/a> @ Heroes Models.<\/p>\n<h3>Selected Work<\/h3>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_140401\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-140401\" style=\"width: 481px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2021\/10\/i-D_Magazine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1235\" height=\"1579\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-140415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2021\/10\/i-D_Magazine.jpg 1235w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2021\/10\/i-D_Magazine-501x640.jpg 501w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2021\/10\/i-D_Magazine-1001x1280.jpg 1001w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1235px) 100vw, 1235px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-140401\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">image courtesy Emmanuel Sanchez Monsalve<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<strong>Mannat &#038; Sirat Kaur for i-D Magazine, Fall 2021<\/strong><br \/>\n[I shot] Mannat &#038; Sirat Kaur for my first 6-page story for i-D Magazine.
