Bryanna Taylor

Head of Model Development

Bry has been a member of VDR for two years. And has expressed that the experience in itself has been unimaginable. Her first year was inexplainable and unable to be described in words. This year 2025, Bry was Head of Model Coordination where she had the opportunity to assist in posing, comfortability, and overall confidence in each of the models. Being someone who hopes to pursue modeling as a career, Bry understands the nerves attached to just starting. It was important for her to create a safe space for each member of VDR and to help them identify their beauty and capability in its purest form. Bry worked as a creative coordinator/posing assistant during the photoshoots, with our incredibly gifted onsight photographer and media team, in order to provide a valley of opportunity for models to grow and become comfortable within themselves. Bry would like to thank the media team, music team, designers, models, and other admin for making this experience one I will never forget. She looks forward to continuing to share "VDR World" with as many creatives as possible.
