Belinda Eloff is
doing her scout, Aimee Nel, extremely proud, especially because she is living
up to her team’s name of the #ATeam. Belinda has been a strong contender from
the beginning and now having reached the Top 3, she is really glad that she
listened to Aimee – who she’s been friends with for a few years – and took the plunge
into the adventure of #ProjectScouted.
Lee Folkard Photography:
So what is Belinda doing currently, other than being one of the beautiful
#ProjectScouted Top 3 ladies?
Belinda: I am currently
working full-time at a laser and graphics company as a graphic and general
designer. I’m doing some really exciting stuff in my life at the moment!
LFP: Do you have any
previous modelling experience that helped you in the Project?
Belinda: I had done a
basic course for fun but I’ve never done any photoshoots or anything close to
what I have experienced in the Project, so basically no. This is all new to me!
LFP: What was the most
memorable phase in the Project for you?
Belinda: Most definitely
Phase 9!
LFP: Which phase did you
find to be the most difficult?
Belinda: The underwater
phase was definitely the most difficult. I'm not a fan of swimming or water (unless
it’s warm or to drink – haha!). I was really out of my comfort zone but I think
the encouragement from everyone who was there along with that warm shower
before definitely got me through it. Also, Roy was incredibly understanding
about the struggles we were experiencing.
LFP: If you could, would
you change anything you did in the Project?
Belinda: Not at all! I
regret nothing from the Project. It's been a beautiful journey.
LFP: If you were to win
#ProjectScouted Cycle 2, what would you attribute it to?
Belinda: I am honestly
just so abstract. I'm a strange kid; the epitome of contrast and versatility. Well,
at least I like to think so!
LFP: If you are not chosen
as the winner, which of the other girls, from all the other phases included,
would you have liked to be the winner?
Belinda: I can’t choose
just one! Genevieve Steenkamp or Michaela Carter, definitely.
LFP: How has being a part
of #ProjectScouted changed your life in the past few months?
Belinda: I have been
extremely busy on weekends firstly, but I have also grown so much as an
individual. I have developed a new sense of gratitude for people and it's not
only a change that has lasted a few months, but it will be a change that will
be with me forever.
LFP: What has the Project
taught you?
Belinda: I am more capable
than I often think. I have learned that there are still so many beautiful souls
in the world and that you can literally do anything if you believe in yourself
strongly enough.
LFP: Having the experience
of the Project now behind your name, where do you see yourself going from here?
Belinda: I am definitely
looking to join an agency as soon as possible. The Project has given me a
hunger for modelling and motivated me even further. I will continue to work hard
and play hard, and shmodellll!
LFP: Do you have any
advice for the girls who would like to be scouted to be a part of the Project
next year?
Belinda: Dooooo it! Never
let an opportunity like this pass you by. Be brave and confident and throw
yourself into it fully.
LFP: Your parting shot?
Belinda: #ProjectScouted
has been the most beautiful experience of my life. Every moment has been
memorable and I have never met such an amazing group of people. It's a family,
and anyone that is presented the opportunity to be a part of it should embrace
it with open arms.
The final
photoshoot, the Top 3 shoot, takes place on Saturday the 30th of
May. Will Belinda be our girl?
