Karin K
GMM Senior Editor Sal W. Hanna had the opportunity to interview Karin and Jessie about their shoot. When talking with Karin we found her to be very friendly, kind, a tad crazy on the fun side, but very responsible and honest. This curvy girl from the Czech Republic says that her Astrological sign of being a Pisces fits her well. “I am very friendly, kind person. Who is trying to help and understand other people and try to help them without hoping to get anything back. I am very intuitive and have an artistic talent.” She is a very strong and independent person that has a dream in mind and works to making it a reality. People find her honesty and openness her best quality. I would have to add that Karin has amazing eyes as being part of her best assets.

GMM: As a model, what would you say has been your biggest obstacle?
My biggest obstacle was that i don’t believe in myself, i didn’t think that i am good at it or that i can be. And also my big hips. I’m 36/26/39 and wear a dress size 4. GMM: That’s a great curvy shape for a glamour model!

Meet the Photographer Hoa Jessie Cao
Everyone’s a photographer and everyone’s a model. You have to do something different to set yourself apart from everyone else. – HJC
Jessie is humorous and brings his quirky personality to the set. On location he doesn’t mind jumping into the ocean wearing full jeans just to get the right shot. On set, he’s quite, but offers great insights to the model. He’s straight forward and tells you exactly what he’s thinking. As part of his regular employment Jessie is a Licensed Massage Therapist and enjoys making people happy. Whether it’s through his creative arts or his healing hands, Jessie is a people person.
GMM: Jessie, how did you get into photography and what are some of your accomplishments?
I never really planned on becoming a photographer but my ex bought me a camera for my birthday and my friend talked me into taking it to a club so I did. A girl walked up to me and asked if I did photo shoots and I said yes. Then I had 3 days to learn everything and that’s how it all started and I ended up falling in love with it. I am different than others because until recently, everything I knew was all learned on my own, I do my edits differently and I don’t want everything I do to look like everyone else.
The models I tend to shoot with are usually new to the industry such as Rubylee Riot and Amanda Panda, and model turned porn star Necro Nikki but now they’re considered famous. Other models who I guess are considered famous are Suicides Girls, Blair Vicous, Import Cars Model Elizabeth Tran, Alt Scene Model Genevieve Burnesse, Ex-pornstar Rylie Richmond, Bass player Franccesca Alexandra (aka Franccesca De Struct) and RubberNecro.
When people talk about photographers, you tend to hear the same names over and over again. I wanna be the guy that after all those photographers are named off, I wanna hear “But then there’s Hoa Jessie Cao.” I wanna be set apart from other photographers. I want to be one of a kind. I want to be known for my work.
GMM: Tell us a bit about who has shaped or influenced your work.
I have a lot of favorite styles, a lot of pictures but I never pay attention to who took the picture so no favorite photographers to name; However there are a couple photographers that I’m thankful for who have helped me when I needed it. Most recently has been Sal Hanna. And in the past was the late, great, Steven Stiles of Numatrix Photography who past away earlier this year.
