Daphne Joy - Urban Modeling Is Not The Issue

Pirates_Mermaids_03
There is a persistent idea that being associated with urban modeling will somehow derail an aspiring model or actresses from any legitimate opportunities. In rebuttal to that position I present to you case study number 58: Daphne Joy. Daphne has been on the cover of SHOW, Smooth, and BlackMen magazines. In short, she is an experienced urban model with plenty of sexy, yet tasteful shots (including back shots). This month, Daphne will make her debut in Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Stranger Tides. And she doesn't have some minor part: she plays one of the mermaids, who are critical to the story (see poster below). I'm sure there are thousands of "serious" actors out there who would've loved to have this part, but Daphne got it. Winking Congrats to her.

Candid Shot of Daphne Joy

This is a test shot of Daphne Joy taken at a casting that I attended for a magazine shoot. She was cool enough to let me post it, but it just illustrates how the top girls don't really need Photoshop to look dope. She came in looking all demure, like a college student - clothes came off, and BAM! This what the casting director and I were assualted with, lol. (I normally wouldn't double up on a model this fast, but this photo seemed like it deserved its own blog entry.)

In Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Stranger Tides, coming up in May 2011, Daphne Joy plays one of five mermaids along with French actress Astrid Berges-Frisby. According to a recent article in Entertainment Weekly, the mermaids have a significant role in the upcoming film. She is also on the cover of the most recent issue of Smooth magazine and has a new website coming at daphnejoy.com. Daph and I have plans to shoot in the very near future, so look for her here at Indosplace. Bonus image here. (Click images to enlarge.)
