"Bonjour! Je m'appelle Mathilde! I am from Toulouse and was raised in a large family of artists. When my brother moved to Bridgeport in the US, I used that as an opportunity to pursue my art career. Upon moving to the city, I met a young amateur photographer who offered me to move in with him in exchange for my modeling service. I never considered myself beautiful, just a small town girl who enjoys scenic paintings and lovely portraits by the Garonne River in France. Growing up, I was never the most feminine person. I became his muse, and now all I want is to show off this newfound confidence and model. This competition would be great for me to explore this new side of me.
