As the calendar pages turn, promising new beginnings and breath-taking opportunities, the world of modelling welcomes the stunning Janneke Engels, selected as the face of Unplug Magazine for 2024. This remarkable young talent, hailing from Upington in the Northern Cape, is making waves in the industry with her poise, ambition, and an impressive repertoire of achievements at such a tender age.
Janneke’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Just this past year, she dazzled audiences by clinching first place in both formal and casual modelling at the prestigious "Show Your Talent" competition in New York. With such credentials, it is no wonder that Unplug Magazine’s judge chose her to embody the spirit of upliftment and motivation that defines our platform.
In the weekend of July 26, 2024, Janneke embarked on a remarkable adventure—one that would showcase her extraordinary potential through a stunning portfolio photoshoot. Her stay was graciously powered by the enchanting Manor On The Hill, nestled in the heart of Krugersdorp, Kenmare. This guest house, with its tranquil ambiance and magnificent views reminiscent of the Magaliesberg views, perfectly set the stage for a weekend filled with inspiration and creativity.
To keep her energized and hydrated, The Moody Chef ensured that Janneke's culinary needs were expertly met. With a focus on nutrition, this chef provided snacks that fuelled her confidence and creativity. With every bite, Janneke was prepared for the exciting day ahead, feeling rejuvenated and ready to conquer the camera.
Pampering is essential for any rising star, and Janneke’s experience was no exception. Bella Donna Beauty and Wellness stepped in to elevate her confidence with a stunning set of nails that added a pop of glamour to her sophisticated look. But that wasn't all—an indulgent facial treatment further enhanced her natural beauty, ensuring she was radiant and camera-ready for the photoshoot.
Adding to the magic of her portfolio shoot, Janneke was dressed in an exquisite piece from Dream Bride Boutique. Their dedicated team went above and beyond to make this moment truly special, providing her with a stunning outfit that showcased her elegance and style. The perfect attire complemented her radiant personality and set the stage for an unforgettable day.
As the day of her portfolio shoot arrived, Janneke was styled to perfection. Salon Rejuvic worked their magic, crafting a glamorous hairstyle that complemented her striking features and left her feeling like a goddess.
The talented Stephan Venter, a renowned makeup artist, meticulously applied her makeup, focusing on every detail to highlight her unique beauty. His expertise ensured that Janneke's glowing complexion and mesmerizing eyes would shine brightly in every shot, while his artistic flair brought out a captivating look that felt both fresh and timeless. With his impeccable touch, Stephan instilled the confidence every woman needs to shine in front of the lens.
Documenting her transformation was the brilliant photographer Carel Van Vuuren. With an eye for artistry and years of experience, Carel not only captured Janneke’s stunning visuals but also set the mood that brought out her best. His ability to guide and connect with Janneke allowed for an organic and effortless representation of her personality through every shot taken.
The culmination of this glamorous weekend was a portfolio photoshoot powered by Van Vuuren Photography, which took place in a stunning studio setting. Each click of the camera encapsulated Janneke’s journey, her aspirations, and the essence of a young star on the rise.
