Let's Get To Know: Nikki Diazconti

First off whats your name for our readers if they do not already know and do you go by any alias?

-Nikki, that is my alias. Sorry, government name stays confidential. ♥
Location? And Age?...

-From the 805, however I am LA based now. Just turned 24 years young in June.

So how did u get started in modeling?

-I originally got my start with John Robert Powers (JRP) when I was 5, wasn't what I wanted at the time so I stopped. It's always been something I'm passionate about, so it drew me back in about 3 years ago or so. I honestly started by networking my little booty off! "Its all about who you know" that is so true in this industry. I made friends left and right and just started working my way up from the bottom.

What has been your biggest achievement to date?

-Well, I'd like to think I haven't reached it yet. There's still so much farther to go. But if I'd have to pick something, I'd have to say working on all the different videos. Biggest personal achievement is probably "Project Nikki" - my aspiring model project.

What kind of modeling do like to do? Style wise?

-Runway has my heart, but we all know Im a tad vertically challenged lol. I really enjoy it all to be honest. Representing clothing lines, music videos. I love highfashion, glamour, lingerie, bikini. I'm not picky, Im blessed to be doing anything.

Is this a hobby for you or fulltime and where do you you see yourself taking your carreer in the next year or two?

-I wouldn't call it a hobby for the fact that I take it so seriously, and it really does take up most of my time, but unfortunately, no. At this point it's not full time, I do also work and go to school. Since I've started on this path, it's done nothing but go upwards, I can only hope to be as blessed with opportunities in the next year or two ♥
Any brands your following or really feeling there vibe?

-Raw Caviar Self Made (shoprawcaviar.com) I absolutely love their style and what they stand for. They really hit home for me. I adore Guess, would be a dream to work with them one day, and I have an addiction to Foreign Exchange.

Off the record, what do you like to do for fun when your not working the lens?

-Okay, are you ready for a secret? I am a bit of a tom-boy =x

I love sports, basketball mostly. I love to watch the Lakers play, paintballing, quading, jet skiing, hiking ^_^ I love all the adrenaline kinda things. Buuuuut, what woman doesnt like to shop!? You can never have too many shoes / clothes.

What other aspects of the modeling business do you get involved in besides being in front of the lens?

-I've also ring-girl'd, walked in fashion shows, ect. But I'd have to say my biggest aspect of the business aside from shooting is "Project Nikki."
This is an aspiring models project that I created a little over a year ago. What I do is I cast, I have aspiring models (male and female) send me an email with 2 photos, age, contact number, and why they want to start modeling. Each cycle we select up to 4 people to come in and get 'packaged.' This means I give them a quick run down on the industry, what to do, where to start, what not to do, and how to brand yourself. For the length of the project they have access to the studio or location we are shooting at, my team of professionals (all of them went to school for what they do) including photographer, hair and makeup artists, assistants and stylists. They are allowed up to 4 wardrobe changes, and within about 3 weeks to a month I provide them with business cards, a bound portfolio, prints, and 'know-how'. Now I can't stress enough that I am not an agency. This project doesnt guarantee that I will get you any work. This project is set up to teach you how to get your own work, and to give to the tools to do it. However, IF I have any castings that fit your description and you have the right attitude and are easy to work with, by all means, I will submit you.
