Miss PsychoTerror, who is she really

This week I welcome Miss PsychoTerror. A brilliant interview with this awesome model.

She put a lot of time and effort into this interview and I’m sure everyone who reads it will

learn a lot.

Miss PsychoTerror consider herself an artist, then a model and last a performer (dancing, videos,

stage, etc). Her priorities are university, family, friends and modeling. How many years she will do modeling? Like 4-5 years for the moment. She really like this! She wishes to have more time to do more

stuff!

X-centic- To start this interview off, please tell me, how

would you describe yourself? Tell me about yourself.

Miss PsychoTerror- Well let’s start with my real name,

I’m Sofía Salazar but I prefer to use Sophia for working

themes. I try always to be myself everywhere, my real

friends really know how crazy I can be sometimes, I like

being with people who are not going to judge or criticize

me, they need to be as crazy as me. I’m a huge fan of high

heel boots and platform too, I adore corsets (I own like 8

for the moment). Also i’m a very huge fan of Hocico and

many alt models I admire. I find awesome to be in contact

with people far away from me too.

X-centic- Where did you grow up and what kind of kid

were you?

Miss PsychoTerror- I was born in Costa Rica 21 years ago and I’m still here. I grew up

at a very beautiful town. Well I was a bit “freak” as a child, I preferred to have guys as

friends than girls, I enjoyed a lot the literature, tv shows like Beetlejuice, Adams Family,

etc…also I loved to watch commercials haha.

X-centic- Does your family and friends support your modeling?

Miss PsychoTerror- My family is complicated. My mom sometimes support me other

times no, my dad doesn’t know what I do, my sister helps me to choose my clothes for

photo shoots sometimes haha she likes how clothes look on me.

My friends are really supportive! I adore them a lot <3 Theay always help me or give me

new ideas to make reality.

X-centic- Let's look back at how you started modeling, tell me when and how you

began?

Miss PsychoTerror- I began in…2009 year as a experiment with one of my best friends

at high school. Then things started to turn much better and the top of my amateur career I

worked with one of the best photographers of my country. Then I got into a very deep

fall…but again I made a big step and put a lot of effort of my career…and well now i’m

here doing an amazing interview.

X-centic- How was the reaction of your parents and friends when you decided to do these

photo shootings?

Miss PsychoTerror- My parents were like “what the fuck is going with her?” they really

disliked goth subculture and similar tendencies. When I decided to became more cyber

gothic they were like…”we can’t stop her now”. With the years they accepted that this

wasn’t just a phase, it’s how i’m.

In the other side, my friends push me many times to make those photo shootings, they

said to me “Why not?, Just do it if you like that idea or concept”. They don’t know how

glad i’m now.

X-centic- Do you want to do modeling as a career? Or just do it as a hobby?

Miss PsychoTerror- I started it as a hobby, but now I can’t choose into continue as a

hobby or became a professional…the works I have done and I do aren’t a hobby, I work

with designers, magazines, pages, bands…I think I grew up and I can say i’m getting

more professional with the days.

X-centic- What attracts you in the modeling industry?

Miss PsychoTerror- The creative atmosphere mainly, each day you can more fantastic

works from many models, photographers, designers, etc…the opportunity to show that art

can be shown in a photography it’s something that I really enjoy to do.

X-centic- What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progress in this

field?

Miss PsychoTerror- Become the most important

alternative model from Latin America (my special

genres or themes are gothic and industrial, but I like to

experiment new concepts). To show that being a

tanned model isn’t a trouble to became important. I

would like to travel very soon to work with more

people at the industry (this year I will travel to

Mexico).

My progress in this fields is very good I think, many

people told me they knew me before I add them at my

profile, someone told them about me, they saw me at

a CD or dancing video, or at a page…I like the

exposure I have today. I know a few alt models from

Latin America, but the problem here is that we don’t

have a Latin based model agency or maybe more support from people here and from

other countries. I want to do something about this problem.

X-centic- What kind of modeling are you the most interested in and why?

Miss PsychoTerror- I’m pretty interested into gothic, industrial, cyber, fetish, fantasy,

steampunk, dieselpunk, a mix between deathrock and victorian maybe…I like to improve

my style, not to stay only in one thing. My taste is very wide today ^^

X-centic- Please describe your favorite experience as a model so far and what made it so

special?

Miss PsychoTerror- Favorite one? When people feedback my work, a simple comment

can made my day, turn a grey week into a colorful one. People sending love and the best

wishes to me is really incredible. I prefer that instead getting a lot of likes or whatever

else. I like good people behind my works. Another awesome experience and so recent is

that I became so near of a very talented musician, he’s so kind and so nice person. I’m so

glad this this “small” things. He’s not the first.

X-centic- Do you remember the first time you were behind a camera for a shooting? How

was it?

Miss PsychoTerror- My Goddess haha I still remember that first official time. I go to the

capital city to meet a guy I never saw before, then we went to the location (it was a big

house) and we decorate four different stages there. Then the magic began! That shoot was

really great and creative. I’m too proud of that first time.

X-centic- Describe the atmosphere when you're on a shoot. Do you play music? Do you

talk with the photographer between shots?

Miss PsychoTerror- Depends of the photographer and where we are. If we are on a

house or a location with electricity we turn on the music loud and let the imagination

work. We also talk about random things or just troll us. Maybe we drink something too.

X-centic- What shooting are you most proud of? why?

Miss PsychoTerror- The last ones I made…isn’t gothic, cyber or etc else themed…was

just me characterizing a very deep concept the photographer and I know (we are great

friends and that shoot have an interesting history behind). I can say that this is my most

proud work.

X-centic- Do you have a hair stylist and a make up

artist when you have a photo shooting?

Miss PsychoTerror- Not really, many of the shoots

the MUA and hair stylist are me, or someone help me,

usually is my best friend who helps me. I also

collaborate with other beginners models.

X-centic- On the fashion industry: who are the people

that you really loved to work with so far?

Miss PsychoTerror- Frika!!! She’s the number one

on my list of people I love to work. She is amazing,

her designs are so awesome and classy, she designs

many of my clothes for shoots we have a very

awesome relationship. In second place

BARBAROSSA (also from my country) he’s a new

fashion designer, I made one catalogue shoot for him this year…his clothes are prety

awesome and he’s a crazy friend of mine too. And at third, not but less important,

SykoMindz Entertainment. They are a very united family I wish to be near them.

X-centic- what do you think made you stand out among other models?

Miss PsychoTerror- It’s complicated to say what I have outstanding, I can tell you what

people, friends and fans told to me, they say that is my personality, my own style, my big

heart, the support I give to many people…I think is a mix of all.

X-centic- Who do you think is most proud of you and your success as model?

Miss PsychoTerror- Myself and a few friends like Kay, Minna, Angie, Kev and

others…I’m so proud of the things I have done and I can do in the future. Nobody was

near me during all my career working so hard to be a successful model.

X-centic- How do you market yourself as a model?

Miss PsychoTerror- I prefer to say i’m an artist, I enjoy to represent ideas, concepts,

themes, etc by posing and thinking what I need to do. Modeling is more complicated than

just pose in front of a camera.

X-centic- What according to you is the biggest problem a future model will have to face?

Miss PsychoTerror- The technology, digital era can erase human models and turn them

digital models, no more shootings, no more locations, etc.

Also the hate between models and people that wants to talk bad of us everywhere.

X-centic- Name 3 types of photos you think every model should have in his/her portfolio.

(could be poses, themes, etc.)

Miss PsychoTerror- Nudes, surrealism and portraits.

X-centic- And to finish this interview, something funny,

What's the worst pick up line you've heard from a guy?

Miss PsychoTerror- The worst one? Let’s think…”I love

you so much my lady, let’s make dirty things soon cause

you’re so hot and I love you”

Who the hell says that to a girl at the first date? xD

X-centic- Would you like to add something more?

Miss PsychoTerror- Keep watching my page for the updates ;D I love unicorns!
