I was scouting new locations in the streets of Soho for an upcoming photo session, when I chanced on Ephrata having a coffee at one of the trendy places that make Soho a magnet for a smattering of beautiful humans.
Putting my best foot forwards, I asked for the chance of photographing her right there, she agreed. In between taking her photographs, we exchanged Instagram profiles, and it turned out she's originally Ethiopian. Naturally, I shared that I traveled to her country of origin; Addis Ababa, Omo Valley and Lalibela; the latter being her family's town...proving once again it's indeed a small world.
Ephrata is a successful NYC model with thousands of Instagram followers.
