Abby is a professional model with whom I've worked several times, and she's also an accomplished violinist playing across the US and Europe. We talk about her music career so far and take a deep dive into the fashion and modeling world as we've both seen it, including a look at female objectification and how our work impacts people who see it. Abby also shares about a special organization she supports in this episode's Non-Profit Spotlight. We end our conversation with an elevating celebration of femininity plus the mention of another playlist related to our conversation. &amp;nbsp; After it's over check out that playlist and see photos and videos of Abby in the show notes at https:\/\/collectedclan.com\/abbystahlschmidt Topics Covered:   0:01:26 Introduction  0:01:44 Abby the Violinist 0:02:19 Abby describes her music 0:03:29 Electric violin vs Acoustic violin 0:08:14 Musical career highlights 0:11:54 &quot;Purple Rain&quot; tribute cover 0:16:22 Designing a custom tuxedo 0:19:09 Non-Profit Spotlight: Camp Penuel 0:20:42 Modeling segment introduction 0:22:25 Photographing pageantland 0:25:47 How Abby started modeling career 0:28:56 Early along in modeling career 0:30:26 Parental guidance for modeling career 0:34:29 How Abby felt about her first photo shoot experience as a 12-year-old 0:36:49 A shady experience with another photographer and how her agency responded 0:39:27 Models are independent contractors 0:43:05 Modeling and female objectification 0:51:34 On retouching and superficiality 0:55:10 Intimate portraits and intent 0:58:31 Pre-sunrise photoshoot 1:01:48 Celebrating feminity 1:04:35 Songs that celebrate women 1:08:15 Closing remarks  Follow Along:  Follow Collected Clan at these online destinations to never miss an episode.
