Rare Finds: Dara Bascara


Photo grabbed from Dara's FB account.
Are you familiar with the Iceberg Model? Wherein the surface is just a manifestation and/or materialization of the submerge part of the iceberg. With Dara Bascara, her surface is really amazing, a stunning beauty, appreciated from the both east and west hemispheres of this globe. But beyond what is seen from her, is much more complex yet still attractive and exquisite. Modelling is her productive hobby, but her life is more focus on her activism and studying Philosophy. Busy as ever, this fine young woman gave me a chance to interview her.
 

Q&A:
Modelling:

Q: Which do you prefer for a photoshoot, a good concept or a good pay? And why is that? 
A: I don't think modeling is the best way to introduce good concepts into society. As much as I enjoy modeling, my main motivation for doing it is its efficient financial lucrativeness. I can make in a day what it'll take others months to make. And because, if you subtract my traveling, I deliberately cultivate a (relatively) low maintenance lifestyle, the money I make from modeling is what gives me the freedom to devote my time and energy on things that matter.
