Underwater Model

As someone who’s spent a lot of time underwater as a model and stuntwoman, I’ve developed a deep love for aquatic settings, whether it’s in pools, tanks, or the ocean. One of the things I find most fascinating about my work is being able to hold my breath for a pretty long time while posing or performing.

But it’s not just about me – I genuinely enjoy sharing my skills with others. That’s why I also offer coaching for underwater modeling and mermaid classes. Through workshops and training sessions, I aim to help others explore this wonderful world beneath the surface. I’d love for you to join me! You’re welcome to be a part of my international mermaid retreats. It’s more than just learning the basics – it’s a whole week packed with training, hands-on experiences, creative photoshoots, and, most importantly, a chance to find new friendships and have a blast.

Training & Experience

I’m a scuba and freediving instructor with a lifelong love for the ocean and all its challenges. Over the years, I’ve danced with strong currents, faced rolling waves, and learned to stay calm in cold, murky waters. My path has taken me from being Miss Germany International to discovering my true passion — the art of underwater modeling. With a background that blends fashion modeling, scuba instruction, and freediving, I’ve spent countless hours training my body and mind to move with grace beneath the surface. Breath-hold practice, underwater stress tests, and real-world experience have all shaped me into the underwater artist I am today.

One of the things that truly defines my work is my ability to model underwater without any visual aids — no mask, goggles, or contact lenses. Even though I can barely see a thing down there, I stay composed, aware of every movement of my hair, fabric, and expression. It’s a unique challenge, but it allows me to connect with the water on a deeper, almost instinctive level. Every dive is a dance, every shoot a chance to tell a story without words.

Underwater Modelling Photos

I’m not your average underwater model — I’m also an experienced underwater stuntwoman who loves pushing limits beneath the surface. I’ve free-dived to depths of around 25 meters (80 feet) for exciting underwater productions, and my deepest shoot so far took place an incredible 42 meters (138 feet) below the surface. For that one, I worked with a safety diver, sharing air through buddy breathing at depth — an experience I’ll never forget. From gliding through shipwrecks to moving with the rhythm of vibrant coral reefs, I bring a mix of strength, creativity, and flow to every shoot.

But it’s not just about creating beautiful images. The ocean means everything to me, and I’m deeply committed to protecting it. I use my platform to raise awareness about the devastating impact of shark finning — one of the many reasons I often find myself swimming side by side with wild great hammerheads and tiger sharks. And yes, I’ve even taken part in heart-pounding shoots alongside wild saltwater crocodiles. For me, it’s about connection, respect, and showing the world the magic and power that lies beneath the waves.

Underwater Model Publications

It’s been a joy to see my work as an underwater model featured in publications like “LE’COEUR Magazine,” “Genzo Magazine,” and “Vigour Magazine,” just to name a few. I’ve also had the pleasure of gracing the covers of “Asian Bridal Magazine,” “Andaman 360,” and many more!

But it doesn’t stop there. You might have spotted me on CD covers, rocking out in music videos, or even starring in TV commercials for awesome brands like PHILIPS and LEXWARE. I’ve also had the honor of stepping into the world of cinema, doing stunt work for actresses and appearing in films and TV series, including the thrilling German crime drama “Soko Wismar.”

I’m all about embracing versatility and bringing a touch of magic to everything I do.
