Give us a quick introduction to Hannah?
I was born in the UK but am currently living in Cape Town. If I could spend my time anywhere it would be on the beach. I spend most of my time surrounded by pets, family and friends.

What does a day in your life usually consist of?
My day normally consists of waking up (after snoozing my alarm a few times), making a good breakfast, attempting to study and probably giving in to go out exploring with some friends.

Tell us something that most people don’t know about you?
Although I try to hide it, I’m actually incredibly shy and use modelling as a way of getting out my shell.

With the holiday season around the corner, what are you looking forward to most?
Beach days, summer festivals as well as my birthday.

What are you top five holiday destinations and why?
Spain, for the beach.
England, for family.
Italy, for the food.
Paris, for romance.
Greece, for a party and a views.

If you could drop what you’re doing right now to do anything spontaneous, what would it be?
I’d love to go on a spontaneous or last minute trip to a different country with my friends.

What is one of the most adventurous things you have ever done?
Road tripping around the Garden Route of South Africa. It was awesome and so eye opening to how beautiful our country is – highly recommend.

How would you best some up your experience of shooting with Epix Shoots for this feature?
Shaun is one of the coolest people I’ve met, shooting with him always includes lots of laughing (even when he tells me to be serious), exploring places of Clifton you didn’t know existed and some interesting poses that I didn’t know my body could do. His photography has honestly made my self-confidence rocket!

How does posing in front of the camera make you feel?
It makes me feel like a different person, I feel like a completely different version of myself – a good one too.

What is your idea of sex appeal?
To be drawn to someone because of the energy they give off.

Where do you see yourself in five years time?
I see myself living a healthier lifestyle, hopefully finished studying and moving onto my first career.

Leave us with some words of inspiration?
Life doesn’t slow down for anyone, so do cool shit while you can!
