MODEL spotlight

LISA COUNTERMAN is an emerging model, actress, and mezzo-soprano singer with a strong foundation in musical theater. Her performance credits include Bye Bye Birdie, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Footloose: The Musical, alongside an expanding presence in film. Lisa has appeared in multiple local projects and has four feature films slated for release in 2026.

Relatively new to the modeling world, Lisa has already made her mark, walking in Cheyenne Fashion Week, the Red Ball for AIDS/HIV Awareness with the Colorado Health Network, and the OFFSEAM Fashion Show sponsored

by The Phoenix. A travel model with a passion for representing real women in fashion, she thrives in outdoor settings—shooting throughout Colorado and in the striking Utah salt flats—often drawn to Western and Southwestern-inspired aesthetics. Lisa views fashion as a vehicle for confidence and self-expression, championing the belief that age is just a number and that it’s never too late to chase bold dreams.

--LOOKBOOK: Your creative life spans musical theater, film, and now fashion—how does stepping in front of the camera as a model challenge or deepen the performer you’ve already spent years becoming?

LISA COUNTERMAN: Stepping in front of the camera in a different role as a model has challenged how I see myself and given me a new perspective on how I appear on camera. In film and theater, I am often in constant motion, but modeling has taught me to be intentional with stillness—focusing on subtle expressions, posture, and small body movements. Studying these details through still photography has strengthened my self-awareness and presence, ultimately preparing me even more for portraying characters on film and on stage.

LOOKBOOK: You’re drawn to expansive landscapes like Colorado and the Utah salt flats, often within Western and Southwestern aesthetics. What do those environments unlock emotionally or artistically when you’re shooting, and how do they mirror where you are in life right now?

LISA COUNTERMAN: I am drawn to expansive landscapes like Colorado and the Utah salt flats because they feel full of endless possibility. While the beauty of these places is undeniable, nothing about them feels prescribed.

The openness and raw beauty allows for a wide range of artistic expression— from rugged, western-inspired aesthetics to minimalist, nature-connected concepts. These landscapes invite creativity, and in this stage of life, it is important to me that there is depth in my storytelling through my modeling. I want my pictures to reflect a mature model who has not just lived, but thrived through adversity and gained a beautiful wisdom from those lived experiences.

LOOKBOOK: For mature women who feel the pull toward modeling but worry they’ve “missed the window,” what advice would you give about starting later, showing up confidently, and honoring their dreams without apology?

LISA COUNTERMAN: Starting my modeling journey later in life, I hope to show that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. As women, we often spend years prioritizing others and can lose sight of ourselves along the way. Reconnecting with what makes you unique—and choosing something just for you—is incredibly powerful.

With age comes not only wisdom, but a quiet confidence and freedom to begin again. That lived experience brings depth, resilience, and authenticity to every photograph—a beauty shaped by growth, courage, and embracing who you truly are.

INTERVIEW & PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID R. NAVARRO @_designprint

LOUD&CLEAR MAGAZINE + LOOKBOOK // 19

VOID BLEU exists in the space where curiosity meets creativity. With one foot grounded in science—studying brain waves and the architecture of the mind— and the other immersed in art, cosplay, and visual expression, Bleu challenges the idea that intelligence and playfulness must live separately. Known for her cutesy, joy-forward energy and sharp academic focus, she brings a multidimensional presence in front of the camera and beyond it. Whether in clinicals or creative spaces, Void Bleu proves that the most compelling identities are built at the intersection of logic, imagination, and unapologetic self-expression.

--LOOKBOOK: You exist at the intersection of science and art—two worlds often seen as opposites. How do you personally define the moment where logic ends and creativity begins, or do you believe they’re inseparable?

VOID BLEU: I honestly believe they are inseparable! There is so much creativity within the scientific community. Aspects of conducting research and analyzing results personally requires not only thinking critically but thinking beyond the box and on the forefront of what humans are capable of. I also feel the same with art. I am inspired by so much of the observable world around me and feel that without the amalgamation of the science and history that got us so far, that the art and inspiration would not have encouraged me to pursue the inner self.

Studying brain waves while expressing yourself through modeling and art is a unique balance. How has your understanding of the human mind influenced the way you present emotion, energy, or character in front of the camera?

First and foremost, understanding your own mind is so important before getting in front of a camera. In front of the camera is where I feel like I am truly myself. The camera doesn’t lie and it will show everything. Yes it can be an intimate relationship and sometimes I am hypercritical of my presentation, but I often feel like if you

get too in your head about things you can’t enjoy yourself and be the best you can be!

It’s better to have fun, have a smile on your face, and show who you really are.

LOOKBOOK: Your personality is described as cutesy, positive, and fun—yet your academic pursuits are deeply technical. Do you ever feel pressure to “choose a side,” or is embracing both part of your power?

VOID BLEU: My personality never turns off to be honest. I am always cutesy, positive, and fun no matter what! It is how I can get through the deeply technical aspects of my studies.

Going into my neuro clinical skills lab, I find that embracing my personality is how my peers can relax when I’m performing an EEG on them. My professor deeply respects how I am consistent, eager to learn, and can deal with the type of pressure required during clinical rotations. I think it’s not so much embracing both aspects, but more about bringing my personality to everything I do in my academic pursuits.

LOOKBOOK: Cosplay allows you to become someone else, while psychology focuses on understanding who we truly are. What has cosplay taught you about identity, self-expression, or escapism?

VOID BLEU: I often cosplay as my favorite characters that I really relate with! I feel like others do the same. Cosplay can be a great representation of your own self identity and expression. I don’t think it’s about escapism per say. Maybe more about how you’re feeling, what you have always wanted to be, or how you truly feel inside.

LOOKBOOK: In clinical settings, precision and structure are essential. In art, freedom reigns. How do you mentally shift between these spaces, and what does each world teach you about the other?

VOID BLEU: Clinical settings and performing EEG on patients does require a lot of precision and structure. More often than not, I feel that art is the same to me. I strive for perfection. I rely on creativity but am carefully precise in my execution. I am the type of person to really get into both aspects of these worlds. The perfectionism, the structure, and the pressure - it doesn’t leave whether I am between clinical’s and or digitally drawing in my spare time.

LOUD&CLEAR MAGAZINE + LOOKBOOK // 21

LOOKBOOK: Anime and visual storytelling often explore complex psychological themes beneath vibrant aesthetics. Are there characters or stories that resonate with you on a deeper, scientific or emotional level?

VOID BLEU: Anime and the representations of complex psychological themes is the main reason why I love it so much and watch it so heavily in my spare time. I could talk all day about characters and or stories that inspire and resonate with me. Oftentimes, I am tied to anime that are psychological thrillers that make you think. I think one aspect that speaks to me on a scientific level is the understanding that animators or writers have of the real world - and its representation in their own stories. For example, the theory of island biogeography is very representative in the anime “Attack on Titan”, whether biologists and or Hajime Isayama’s were intentionally aware.

Isolation by island limits diversity, but creates unique species and with evolution and extinction shaping the Paradise “island” in AOT, it represents perfectly the real theory of island biodiversity seen paralleling the real world.

LOOKBOOK: As someone who studies the brain, how do you interpret joy, creativity, and positivity—are they skills, traits, or conscious choices?

VOID BLEU: When we study brain waves and perform EEG’s in the clinical setting, we have what are called “activations” to provide a baseline and establish the “normal” from the “abnormal”. Many find it fascinating that just by brain scans we can interpret whether someone is stressed, had too much caffeine, blinking, or is drowsy - but joy, creativity, and positivity, although can’t be seen on a screen, to me are skills, traits, and very much are conscious choices that can shine through. Often we deal with individuals who have had traumatic brain injuries that affect their ability to feel these most important emotions, or many may feel depressed dealing with epileptic episodes and seek treatment. Whether it’s cognitive restructuring or finding an AED for a better quality of life, it is so important in my field to not understand the underlying “neuroscience” but the emotional journey behind every scan and what people truly need to obtain what they want out of life.

LOOKBOOK: You bring lightness and fun into serious spaces and depth into playful ones. How do you think this duality challenges traditional expectations of what intelligence or professionalism looks like?

VOID BLEU: Many people are very surprised in the neuroscience and neurodiagnostic technology space I chose for myself. Before, I was working in a more psychological space providing therapy to children with Autism. I loved it so much. I found I had a lot of patience, kindness, and strong moral ethics to help any children succeed. The most important thing I had learned in that experience, is that I can bring fun, playfulness, and excitability in the professional world. Albeit annoying, having the same lightness and fun into serious spaces and depth and knowledge into playful ones is really appreciated in all aspects of what I do. Patients feel at ease speaking with me and bosses respect me for standing up for myself.

The best of both worlds.

LOOKBOOK: Digital and physical art require different kinds of patience and intention. Which medium feels closer to how your mind works—and why?

VOID BLEU: Digital art has been an amazingly different pursuit of mediums that I feel is more intentional and precise than what I was expecting. With physical art, I have more fun and feel closer to how my mind’s creativity can be allowed to thrive and grow. Digital art is very representative of my technical and precision based structure that I find within my studies.

LOOKBOOK: Looking ahead, how do you envision merging your scientific training and artistic passions into a future that feels authentic to who Void Bleu is becoming?

VOID BLEU: Both parts of these worlds, my scientific training and artistic passions, are the basis of who Void Bleu is and what I want out of my life. Whether it’s professionalism in front of the camera, or playfulness when meeting with patients, I feel both aspects are essential to who I am as a person. They blend, they mingle, and some may not like how I do things, but it is the truest to my identity and myself. It is how I get up in the morning ready for another day and it’s how I keep going in life. Bringing my true self to the table and holding nothing back!

LOOKBOOK: Fashion is another form of communication. How would you describe your personal style, and what does your creative process look like when you’re planning a photoshoot—from concept and wardrobe to the energy you bring in front of the camera?

VOID BLEU: I have always been a very fun, playful, and “cutesy” type person. I feel like it’s very representative in my personal style and creative process in planning a photoshoot.

From the way I always keep my smile while in photoshoots, to working with the space around me but adding my own little “kawaii” flare - It is where I feel like I shine the most. I know who I am as a person, and although I like trying new things and styles, I always want to stay true to myself.

LOOKBOOK: For creatives who feel pressured to “pick a lane” between passion and practicality, art and science, joy and intellect—what would you tell them about building a life that honors all sides of who they are?

VOID BLEU: As someone who struggled a long time with conforming and following the status quo, I say you do not have to choose between passion and practicality! The most sustainable and fulfilling lives are built by integration.

When you allow creativity and intellect to inform one another, you create work that is both meaningful and viable—and a life that reflects yourself fully rather than a single, imposed identity.

With her distinctive look and strong online presence, Marion has become the face of notable brands such as Cocoburry and Hidden Hills Watches. Her dedication to fitness and consistent training has also established her as a sought-after fit model, appealing to both lifestyle and athletic audiences.

Expanding her influence even further, Marion is now preparing to launch a new journey into podcasting on her YouTube channel: youtube.com/marionriveratv, where she will share insights on fitness, fashion, and life.

--LOOKBOOK: You’ve lived between New Jersey and Puerto Rico during formative years—how has that dual upbringing shaped the way you show up today in fashion, fitness, and your overall sense of self?

MARION RIVERA: Growing up between New Jersey and Puerto Rico shaped me into someone who’s both grounded and expressive. New Jersey taught me grit, structure, and how to show up prepared. Puerto Rico gave me rhythm, warmth, and pride in who I am. Today, that balance shows up in everything I do—my fashion has edge but heart, my fitness is disciplined but joyful, and my sense of self is rooted in resilience and culture. I move through the world knowing I can adapt anywhere without losing myself.

LOOKBOOK: As both a fit model and a brand ambassador, you balance discipline with visibility in a very public space. How do fitness and fashion intersect for you when it comes to confidence, consistency, and personal branding?

MARION RIVERA: For me, fitness and fashion intersect at confidence and consistency. Fitness builds the discipline, mental strength, and self-trust; fashion becomes the expression of that work. When I’m consistent in my training, I carry myself differently—and clothes look better because confidence is the real accessory. As a fit model and brand ambassador, my personal brand is about showing what it looks like to live the lifestyle, not just wear the look. Authentic visibility comes from aligning how you move, train, and present yourself every day.

MODEL spotlight

MARION RIVERA is a model and social media influencer who has made her mark in both the fashion and fitness industries. Born on September 21st in New Jersey, she proudly embraces her Puerto Rican heritage. She spent her early years in Puerto Rico — first in Ponce from 1982 to 1984, then in Bayamón until 1992 — experiences that continue to shape her identity and outlook.

LOOKBOOK: For women—especially Latinas—who want to break into modeling or fitness influencing but feel intimidated by the industry or social media pressure, what advice would you give about staying authentic while building a strong presence?

MARION RIVERA: My advice is to stop waiting to feel “ready” and start showing up as you are. The industry can feel intimidating, but authenticity is your power—especially as a Latina. Don’t chase trends that don’t feel like you; build consistency instead. Protect your mental health, take breaks from comparison, and remember that your story, body, and voice are already enough. When you stay true to yourself, the right opportunities find you—and they last longer.
