Photographer : Tripodski
Welcome Hope , how are you ? Heya ! I ’ m really good thank you .
Seriously though , we ’ re so thrilled to have you in Elite again Hope . Did you have fun shooting for us ? I had the best time . It was such a fun 2 days just laughing and joking while making some of my favourite photos ever .
What is like to grace our cover for the first time ? It still hasn ’ t sunk in that I ’ m on the cover of Elite . It ’ s amazing and I feel so privileged to be on the same cover that my inspiration Alysha Nett has been on so many times ! It ’ s a really special day for me .
What was it like to shoot with Tripodski ? He is the loveliest person , so funny and welcoming . Comfortable to be around and so bloody good at photography .
You always seem so effortless on camera , is it hard reinventing yourself for new features ? I wouldn ’ t say it ’ s hard , but sometimes you have to make sure you aren ’ t always throwing the same pose or doing the same sort of thing . Making it interesting is always fun , so that ’ s what I try to do .
So you seem to be traveling everywhere these days … where has been your favourite place ? I love travelling , my life is one big adventure right now and I ’ m having the best time . Recently I came back from California and Vegas , which were incredible . I think Florida and New York hold special places in my heart though . I also loved Italy !
You ’ re a big wrestling fan ! What has been your favourite wrestling experience ? Oh god , I have so many as I ’ m always at events . I think the obvious one was being at Wrestlemania 30 , as that was my dream since I was a child . I also loved being at the WWE UK tournament in Blackpool and watching some of my friends wrestle for WWE , it was pretty special .
