Brit Bliss – OMP Model #199586 | by Elias of All Star Photography - OMP Member #10270



Brit Bliss – OMP Model #199586

Blessed with one of the coolest model names ever, Brit Bliss ( OMP Model #199586) has been modeling for 3 1/2 years, and her hard work and dedication have paid off. She describes herself as
"really laid-back and a very easy model with whom anyone can work. I love humor, and I like to have fun on the job. But I am also a very focused person and am always set towards the goal."


Brit is getting positive response and job offers everywhere she turns these days. But it wasn't always that way. The brunette beauty humorously recalls her humble beginnings as a model.
"I got started on One Model Place by putting up some really terrible shots of myself. Luckily, I quickly got offers from OMP photographers for shoots. From there, I built my portfolio and started getting work."


Some of that modeling work that Brit has done was for "One Model Place On Location," an exclusive series of videos produced by the world's largest modeling website. Brit and five other competition winners were flown to Panama City Beach, FL in early 2007 for Spring Break.

She relates,
"Spring Break was absolutely fantastic! I got to work with the awesome OMP crew. They were so easy to get along with, and they were all about having a good time along with the rest of us. Not only did I get a great vacation out of it, but I got some of the most amazing images that I've ever had done. It was fantastic to get to work with the masterminds behind OMP."


Brit was also featured on Maxim Magazine's online site for her birthday in late March. She made such a great impression, Maxim is bringing her back for more. Brit will be flown to NYC to do a photoshoot with Maxim photographers.

"I'm really excited about that. They're shooting me in an ‘Urban Hip-Hop' style shoot. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm about ready to whip out a brand new side of me. I love new things, and this is definitely one of them, working with one of the greatest magazines in the country. I'm leaving this week to do the shoot. It's come up so fast, and I'm nervous, but my game face will be on."


The Ohio-based model was also contacted by the World Wrestling Entertainment company for a potential assignment.
"I heard from the person that does the Diva Search for the WWE. She got my submitted content either from an agent or from a contact I made through a fellow model. I couldn't believe the e-mail when I saw it, and I gave the lady a call instantly. She said that they really wanted to work with me, put me in a couple shows, submit me to their Diva Search, and maybe if things go well they may pull a contract for me. That would be so great!"


Her favorite photo shoot recently was in a rather unique location – a putt-putt miniature golf course photo shoot that took place on the OMP Spring Break trip.
"I got to pull out a different side of my artsiness during that shoot. I already had learned so much from the photographers and fellow models there, and I put it to the test. The kicker was pulling out the coconut bikini top that I bought as a souvenir for my mom -- I ended up wearing it for the shoot! I couldn't believe the images that it came out with. They were incredible. It just goes to show you that possibilities lie in anything."


Brit credits One Model Place with helping her career.
"OMP is what made my career even exist. Without it, I wouldn't be where I am today. I probably wouldn't have even started. But because of the jump and the exposure that OMP provides, I've been able to pursue a passion, an endeavor that most people have to stop with at a dream. I live my dreams, and OMP has enabled me to do it. They're wonderful -- they are such a great resource in the modeling world today. When I am contacted by people that I know and they want to get started in modeling, that's where I direct them. I direct them to where I started, OMP!"


In addition to her One Model Place profile, Brit also runs her own website, BritBliss.com.
"Having my own website has helped put my name on the map a bit. I looked into the statistics, and I even have people looking for me by name on search engines. It's helped me connect to the people that appreciate me and my work. I can see what they like, and they are free to contact me at any given time."


Brit gives some advice for aspiring models.
"I don't care what images you have, if you show your face and body well (or the part of you that you are trying to sell to the public), join OMP and post those images. You will be seen by people who want to work with you. Be polite and easy to get along with. No one will want to work with you if you are a flake, or you make it difficult. I also suggest studying other models' work that you enjoy. Notice how they move themselves -- videos are a great tool for this! Recognize what makes that model who they are. Create your own unique version, and before long, you'll get the hang of it."


In addition to her killer good looks and down-to-earth personality, Brit's laid-back attitude is sure to take her on a direct path to a successful career.
"I really do think a laidback attitude helps as a model. I'm not uptight, I'm not afraid to work hard or help photographers carry their equipment. I feel that it leaves a good impression with individuals or companies that will lead to future work – it really makes a huge impact."
