Thanks for a fantastic week. Our team got wonderful pictures, and it was great experience for me when it was the first time shooting models for me. We had time to find many new friends during the week in Sitges. Johan and I didn't know each other so well before the trip, but now we know and I'm for sure that we will meet again.

Perfectly covers the right curves…That’s Ujena Swimwear!
As a busty lady I set out to find my 2-3 suits for the season and came across UjENA and decided to try them out. Well, when I opened the package and felt the material I thought I was in heaven and in the back of my head was thinking, “I hope this fits!” Perfect fit!! Now that was odd since I’m a natural DDD and it’s rare for everything to fit so perfectly. So, I decided to research UjENA and see about opening a small store in little Hill Country, Texas. Justin was super helpful and easy to work with so we jumped onboard. Thus far EVERY customer that comes in contact with UjENA in my store falls in love with the fit, quality and fun styles. Thank you UjENA for taking care of all our Curves…
Smiles,
Penny

Being new to UjENA, I have a lot to experience! So far, it seems to a company not only focused on selling swimwear, but focused on bringing people together. Sure, they bring together models, photographers, make-up artists, hairdressers, agents, and the like, but they do more than that. Through their events, they're helping people form lifelong friendships, all while having a great time! Everyone who is fortunate enough to go to one of the Jams is making memories that will last a lifetime! To me, that's priceless, and you really can't put a pricetag on it.

Spain was another great event. I want to give special thanks to Robert Hammar and Johan Rosen. Two of the most talented photographers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I learned a lot from both of you. I really had a great time. Nothing like having parties in your room with our favorite models! I look forward to doing it again soon, this time in your country!
Karen, thanks for all the great hair time! There is nothing I like better! You are such a GREAT model. I love you so much! My life just wouldn't be the same without you!
Skye, I'm so glad to have you in my life! You are a wonderful friend. Without you and Karen, my trip would have been less memorable.
Rabecca, I'm glad I FINALLY made up for all that lack of attention I gave to you last year in PV! LOL!!
Erika, my sweet little little buddy! As usual, you always bring out the BEST in my work. I totally forgive you for photographing my off moments! LOL! Like me trying to park that huge rental van in that tight spot BACKWARDS! LOL!! Thanks for being a good friend. Looks like you got your wish, I'll be in Puerto Vallarta again this year and I'll be ready to make more great photos with you.
Isela, thanks for making my work look so good. You are a truly talented model. I hope to work with you again in the future.
Melanie, it was nice to work and hang out with you! I loved our photos! Special thanks to your sister Olivia for being my reflector assistant!
Evan, thank for the BEST Red Bull promotional shot I ever took! LOL! Oh, and are other work is good too! LOL!
Elizabeth, we finally got a chance to work together and I couldn't have been happier with the results!
Jennifer, after two jams, we finally got a chance to work together. I just wish we didn't get kicked out of the park before we got great photos.
To the Telemundo staff, thanks for filming me, Johan and Robert on our all day excursion to Barcelona! I hope we gave you something to use for your television special. Special thanks to your sexy co worker Leti. Too bad she's not a model, but she still gave me great bikini photos!
To all the staff models I shot, thanks for lending my your expertise in making great photos with me.
To American Model.com, thanks so much for the $500 scholarship. I promise to give you great photos for the event in Puerto Vallarta. See you there.
And to all the others whose names I have not mentioned, thanks for making Spain a great trip. See you all in PV!!

I am in love with Ujena swimwear!
They make your body look absolutely fabulous. With the shopping assistant on the site, it helps you pick the perfect suit for your body type so you feel really confident to sit on the beach witth all the attention you'll get.
I enjoy going to the Ujena Jams. It is so amazing to get great photography done in exotic places. You will feel so special to even be there and get picked to be in the catalog. I met so many wonderful people and look forward to coming to PV again this year!
Ladies, this is the place to get your hot, sexy bikinis for anytime during the year!

Any time one tries to find answers in the fashion world, roadblocks are at every turn.

I’ve made more personal contacts with legitimate opportunities to work with other professionals than with all other online venues combined – all within only a couple of months.

I can’t believe you are giving me the opportunity to write what I felt about Ujena the first time I went to a Bikini Jam with my daughter. I had heard a lot about the Ujena Bikini Jams from several photographers and thought it would be a great opportunity for my daughter to give it a shot. We totally underestimated the experience of “Ujena” THE COMPANY.
My daughter ordered several swimsuits from Ujena and there quality was top notched. My daughter and I signed up to go to the Puerto Vallarta Bikini Jam 23 and we were totally amazed at how we were treated, we were not just another name on a page. We had several other people who decided to go with us and coordinating rooms and everything else that went along with the trip felt so personalized. Cassandra with Ujena new who I was. When ever I needed help she new about everyone in my party and what we still needed to do. When we arrived in Puerto Vallarta we were treated like part of the family. I was overwhelmed by how much Ujena covered expenses at the Jam, from food, drinks and all the parties. Our trip was better than most vacations I have ever taken. I was able to meet some unbelievable friendly people at the jam, from the staff, to photographs, to models, to their families. And not just a one time meets, but friendships that we still keep in touch with. Competing in the Ujena competition for their top model was an experience my daughter tells everyone about. She never expected to make it to the top 20 and then found herself in the top 10. But it wasn’t just the Ujena top Model competition that drew her interest but the fact that she could talk to over 20 other companies about possible working for them as well. When we came back from Puerto Vallarta we couldn’t stop talking about the outstanding event Ujena had put on. So my daughter and I will be taking 10 new models and photographers with us to Puerto Vallarta this year.
One of the other things I love about Ujena is their web site Ujenatalent.com I love the fact that their site is divided up into categories and that you are not limited on how many photos you can put on your site. The fact that I can also respond back right away to someone who left me a message is great. The web site just has so many things of interest going on from contests to forums to who’s site is viewed the most.
Ujena gives people a chance to experience their dreams. From wearing their swimsuits and clothing, to being photographed by an photographer from a different country , to traveling to exotic locations with out having to pay outrageous prices. To meeting a friend on your site that lives on the other side of the world when you never imagined meeting them. It happened to us.

I found Ujena by a Photographer friend in my country, Puerto Rico. I wish very much to be a model with a lot of work. I started 2-3 years ago to study to be a model, but because of situations in my life I have been far away from the modeling industry. When I found Ujena and there was a rebirth in me of that love that I have for art of modeling. I love Ujena. It fills me with new hope again for that dream that I had since I was a little girl of being a model. I know that only need a strong will to to make your goals come true and Ujena is my great door to make it true. Thank you for giving me back that excitment about my dream. I love ujena. Thanks a lot.
Original Spanish version:
Encontre Ujena por un amigo fotografo en mi país Puerto Rico. Deseo grandemente ser una modelo con muchos trabajos, comence hace dos o tres años a estudiar para ser modelo, mas sin embargo por situaciones de la vida eh estado bastante alejada del ambiente del modelaje, mas encontre a Ujena y me renacio ese amor que estaba guardado por el arte del modelaje. Me encanta Ujena ya que me llene nuevamente de esperanzas por relizar ese gran sueño que tuve desde niña, el ser una modelos con muchos trabajos. Se que solo se necesita muchas ganas para lograr las metas marcadas y se también que Ujena es mi gran puerta para realizarlos. Gracias Ujena por devolverme la emción de este sueño. Me encanta Ujena.

I love Ujena simply because it is a door to many places, friends, cities
models, and people, not only a brand but a door to another dimension, to
another world of photographers and models and friends, businesses and
oprtunities as well. Ujena simply is all that you need thats why I love
it, Ujena is the same as love

I discovered UjENA from a new friend, Jessica Lauren, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at a music video shoot that we both were in this past weekend. We decided to add each other as friends on myspace and keep in touch. When I went to her page I saw her banner for UjENA and it sparked my interest. I went to the website and fell in love with the clothes and swimsuits. I love Sexy clothes and I love clothes that make me feel and look sexy! Any woman that wears these clothes is gonna feel sexy and have a better assurance about herself. I also noticed that your site helps those who have the desire to be a model by offering workshops, help build portfolios, gain knowledge in the industry and many other helpful tools. I have made it a personal goal to get to the top as a model and a spokesperson. I want to show others that if they are willing to work hard and they believe in their desires, they can achieve their dreams and make them a reality. I also want to be the person that others are not afraid to talk to just because I am well known. I want them to feel comfortable enough to approach me and talk with me instead of thinking I am like all the others out there that don't seem to have time for them. I want to be the person that gives other people hope because I kept climbing to the top and I never gave up on the desires of my heart. Thank you UjENA for being an open door in my journey to the desire of my heart.

I set up a photo shoot with one of the top 10 photographers, Ted Mebane, who shot me in some Ujena swimwear. I felt very comfortable and sexy in the swimwear. Ted told me about this website called Ujena Talent. I signed up not knowing what I was geting into or who Ujena was. After I signed up, I felt so welcomed by Ujena staff. I posted the pictures on my site and Ujena labled me one of their models. What company do you know does that? I know I don't get paid for being a Ujena model, but it is still an honor! I can't wait to go to my very first Ujena Jam in August.

My I Love Ujena Essay!!!! :-)
There are many reasons why I love Ujena. I recently become a Team Leader for Georgia, and I am stoked. Whaaa hoooo. I love the fact that Ujena blessed me with such a great opportunity. Did I mention the wonderful swimwear.. ???? It totally rocks!... Hey for busty girls like me... you just can't find hot swimwear anywhere.:-) I found mine at Ujena... I also love the fact that Ujena is into fitness. There are many helpful hints/tips on the site to help keep everyone in tip-top shape! As we all know, Bob is a great runner and I am hoping to give him a run challenge in Spain... LOL.. Love ya BOB, but your making me look bad. LOL...
Great Swimwear and ladies wear!

Never in a million years did I think I would be where I am today.
What a difference a journey can make.. yet it only begins with one step! I recently got nominated for the AMTC Maryland group finalists for the 2008 summer convention. And the best part is, I am working on putting together my own “little” UJENA team here in Maryland. My position was approved by the company I love to represent And by being a lawful model of UJENA.
What a difference a new attitude can make! I now know if you can believe it, you can achieve it. I have heard this so many times throughout my early journey with UJENA, though I didn’t really listen. When I started to believe it, things started happening! You see, it is not who you know, it is who you do not know. Those in my network community are people I never knew before.
Because of UJENA, I have the most amazing group of friends. And the rewarding part of it, is the fact that I have been blessed with this network of great friends, up line, cross line and down line. Their positive attitudes are contagious and I just cannot help but want to be a part of that. I have the most amazing team. To my family: Thank you for your love and support.- My Best friend and partner, Matt Markowski: Thank you for your patience. I know it was not always easy putting up with me. Thanks for your never-quit attitude and seeing the opportunity for me when my eyes were closed. You continue to inspire me. I could not have done it without you and your support. I love you.
A very special thanks goes to my Awesome sponsor Bob Anderson - CEO and founder of UJENA. Thank you for your vision and for sharing the gift of UJENA with me. – To Cassandra Murray – UJENA promotions dept / Staff: Your leadership is truly extraordinary. Your desire, belief and commitment to your team and business are flawless. To UJENA clients: Your love of the spectacular UJENA products shows every month. Thank you.
I Love UJENA, what a perfect example you have set for your entire nation. You bring out the best in everyone. Thank you so much for not giving up on me.

I love Ujena for a million reasons!! Let me count the ways…
I love Ujena products – I have the hottest bikinis of all of my friends when we hang out on the beaches of Vancouver! Their styles are diverse, but always classy, beautiful, and tailored for ‘real life’. But more importantly, it takes good people to sell good product… and Ujena is not only innovative and savvy from a business perspective, but they pride themselves in furthering the careers of the models and photographers who love and support Ujena!
I love Ujena because it’s like family. From the moment I was introduced to the people and the company, I have been made to feel at home. I have been encouraged, motivated and supported, have made lifelong friends, and have had a blast at the Jams. Everyone I have met who is associated with Ujena has been kind and warm-hearted - genuinely interested in your life, your passions, and your goals (both personal and in your career).
I love Ujena because they love me! To Ujena I am not one of hundreds of models, I am ME - and each girl, each photographer, each customer, each sponsor, and each staff member is treated with respect and compassion, even at the busiest and most stressful of times. Bob, Catherine, Lisa, and the other staff (models and photographers) remember the names and faces of hundreds of people and somehow seem to remember a few things about you and who you are…even after only having met you once or twice.
I love Ujena because it promotes a healthy, active lifestyle. Ujena loves you for who you are – and they encourage health and fitness as opposed to trying to fit you into a mould. They don’t put pressure on you to be something or someone you are not. Ujena only wants you to be your best!
I love Ujena because of the Jams. Ujena is hard-working while not forgetting the important things in life – friends, laughter, taking time to recognize progress and hard work. I have met lifelong friends, made incredible industry connections, and spent time with amazing people in tropical places!!
Ujena my fun, sexy, friendly, fit, healthy, beautiful family – I LOVE UJENA!!

I like UjENA because here happiness is a habit, everything is like should be, nice people from every corner of the planet share the passion for life. I am new here but I have immediately the sensation than the sentence “everybody are welcome” is not just a set of words but a really life style in UjENA.

03/06/2008 | Kathy Zoubareff / aka Nina Byrne
I LOVE UJENA BECAUSE it is like a secret little angel tucked away in my heart and my head. It is a special society apart from the normal, ordinary world I inhabit day-to-day. There is constant worry in my life, constant tension, concerns on my job, the failing U.S. economy, the Detroit Mayor sex-and-text-messaging scandal that cost the city of Detroit $9 million dollars, numerous layoffs in Michigan, the brutal weather in Michigan right now with tons and tons of snow and all I do is shovel it and push it around.
And then there is Ujena with its website of sexy AND BEAUTIFUL models, talented photographers, beautiful clothes, exotic places to travel if your credit card can hold it, and all I wish is to be a part of it on a full-time status. Ujena is a touch of FANTASY in my ordinary life.

I have discovered the UJENA family of websites not too long ago and from what I can see they are a great organization with many interesting events to attend and a huge network of business contacts, models and photographers too. I have just booked my Spain trip's ticket and I look forward to meet some great people, get new contacts for having more work and meeting awesome models as well ;-)

I Love Ujena...because as soon as Brucie told me about it I signed up asap and have never looked back.
The site is so well organised and a great place to network and meet like minded people and industry professionals alike.
There is always something new happening and although I have yet too attend a Jam yet myself I am very much looking forward too that experience as following the feedback from the people that have been it seems like is an opportunityhat one should experiance at least once.
The experience would be enough....given the fantastic locations the Jams are held in...but there is also the chance that you could take your experience too the next level with all the media attention and the wonderful prizes that are on offer.
Ujena is set up and run like a family business and that really comes across...although I am fairly new on here..I feel really welcome and that I know so many of you already..it is so personnel...in a good way.
Too sum up..I love Ujena..and Ujena Loves me ...
.................Your the Best............

Ujena is such a WONDERFUL organization!
Had NO idea what to expect when I landed in Puerto Vallarta for my first Bikini Jam last summer...

I love Ujena
Once upon a time there was a couple that I will call ‘Martha and Rich’.
Martha was a beautiful person on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside. She was just getting started with small modeling projects when she came across an amazing opportunity to dive into the world of bikini modeling. Ujena was holding their annual Ujena jam bikini contest. This one was Ujena Jam 17 and Martha decided to test her modeling skills and enter the contest. Her first Jam was an amazing experience which opened so many doors for her. She made top 12 and was featured in the Ujena calendar. The very next Jam, she made top 5. Her confidence increased and little by little I saw Martha blossom into a very confident and truly hot model. Today she is a long time staff model for Ujena and just thinks the world of the product and the company that stands behind it.
Richard was a sole proprietor in the roofing business and attended Ujena Jam 17 as a guest to support Martha. With every Jam that he attended, he began to feel like he was a part of this event and eventually decided to “officially” become part of the event by entering the Jam as a competing photographer. Martha bought him his first camera, and with zero photography schooling, he dove in and entered the contest. Thinking he’d take last place due to his lack of professional training, he was ecstatic when he found out that he had placed in the top 20 of the competing photographers. That was an amazing result for such a green photographer who showed up with nothing more than a decent camera and an eye for beauty. Recently, at Ujena Jam 23 in Cancun, he won 1st place and there to hand him his trophy, was no other than Martha herself. Ujena gave Richard the opportunity and confidence to develop into a truly talented self taught photographer. He too thinks the world of Ujena and the founders behind it.
Richard is my brother (who I am very proud of) and Martha is his long time girlfriend (who I am also very proud of). Through them, over the last several years, I have heard so many wonderful things about Ujena that I too now feel like I have been a part of these events and have become so familiar with some of the faces of Ujena that I have decided to attend my first Jam as a guest in Spain this May. Although I have never personally had any involvement with Ujena, two very important people in my life are very much who they are today thanks to the opportunities that Ujena has provided for them and THAT’s why I love Ujena!

Rabecca Lee Loves Ujena
Hello everyone I am Rabecca Lee and simply put “I Love Ujena”! Ujena is more than a clothing/swimwear company. Ujena is the foundation of new friendships, opportunities, and a new way of doing business.
Ujena kick starts long lasting friendships. My first bikini Jam was Jam 23. I went not knowing exactly what to expect from the Jam. I was a little nervous and concerned about joining a company I had never worked with before. All that soon passed once I arrived and was greeted by the Ujena staff with such enthusiasm. I felt like I was the star of the show. I had a great time, but the best part was all the new friends I made. I had a terrific roommate that is now a close friend of mine. I also had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with girls that I had competed against in other contest via the internet. I will always value and keep in touch with my new friends. Thank you, Ujena. “I Love You”.
Modeling is not a set job for some with a set paycheck, so networking and getting new opportunities is very important. Ujena offers models a way to get out there and get the opportunities one may have been looking for without having to go through an expensive agency or standing in long casting call lines. It is just you being you! The companies get to see you in your own lime light. Ujena puts the opportunities right in front of you. Therefore, going to Ujena Jams opens many doors for new and experienced models. Thank You, Ujena for introducing me to my new wonderful friends. “I Love You”.
One of the most eye-catching things about Ujena is the way the company does business. I love the fact that Ujena is family based. Bob, Catherine, Justin, Lisa and the Ujena staff girls all have intricate roles in making the company and the Jams a big success. In e-mails, pictures or at Jams the entire Ujena team acts as one big happy family. A few words come to mind when I think of Ujena…honesty, integrity and loyalty.
Ujena is about making others dreams come true and thas why “I love Ujena.”
Many Blessings,
Rabecca Lee

They like a dress of ujena very much, too.

Yo amo a UJENA porque es el máximo exponente de la belleza femenina de la cual soy un profundo y entusiasta admirador. En UJENA se conjugan los talentos de las personas que integran esta organizacion, y los fotógrafos con sus cualidades artísticas que captan la belleza y elegancia de esas hermosas féminas de caras agraciadas y hermosos cuerpos esculturales y queden plasmados en el tiempo y en el espacio para siempre. Por esto amo a UJENA, SÍ SEÑOR.

As my work day progresses and I sit at my desk plugging away at this item and handling that emergent situation, I daydream of all the remarkable times shared with all the UjENA friends and family made at Bikini Jam 23. Although the excursion was only 10 days, it seemed far more like a different time, a different place, a different life all together. I can not help but think that this event that seems so small and simple to those around me would be such a life changing experience. This was no ten day trip; it was 240 uninterrupted hours where I truly got to live my dream. Most significant was the chance to meet so many people from all over the world. People who have the same drive and passion and even the shared my personal quest for the perfect image. I remember thinking every moment of my trip ‘How privileged am I to get the opportunity to be here, to be a part of this’. Amidst the madness of securing photographers and balancing this shoot and that day trip, I would take a moment and look around me, soak up the beautiful scenery and think ‘I may be the luckiest girl alive right now!’ Between the fans in disbelief saying, ‘You can not be from my home town!’ and the big break in my modeling career in shooting with one of the most recognized national publications in the world, Maxim en Espanol, I was certainly overwhelmed! More than overwhelmed, I am in love! I could never show enough gratitude to Bob and the entire UjENA crew. Each and every one of the staff has made it possible for so many girls to truly live the dream and for that… I can never thank you all enough!

(Let´s put some Spanish in the I LOVE UJENA Contest)…
Me encanta UjENA porque constituye un concepto único que enriquece enormemente a todos los que integran su comunidad. Muchos conocen sólo algunos aspectos de lo que UjENA ofrece y pierden de vista el conjunto. A mis ojos se trata de un concepto integral que a partir de la creación y fabricación de trajes de baño y prendas de playa ha ido abriendo espacios en el terreno creativo y profesional. Sin duda, la página de UjENA se ha convertido en un espectacular centro de convergencia de modelos, fotógrafos y artistas del maquillaje, así como de otros actores del medio de la difusión y el espectáculo. Sin importar edad, nacionalidad ni origen étnico, miles de personas se han dado cita allí. Con gran creatividad, el sitio de Ujena ha logrado crear un dinamismo que ninguna otra comunidad virtual de la fotografía y el modelaje tiene. Incluso se podría decir que se trata de un sitio adictivo, que uno convierte con facilidad en parte de su vida cotidiana. Pero ese es sólo el principio. A partir de esa creciente comunidad, Ujena creó un concepto francamente genial: los Bikini Jams. Se trata de encuentros en los que convergen esos mismos protagonistas que coinciden en su sitio virtual. El costo es igual o menor al de simplemente tomar unas vacaciones. Sin embargo, el valor agregado que uno obtiene al asistir es enorme en todos los sentidos. No sólo encuentran los fotógrafos a las más talentosas y hermosas modelos del mundo, y las modelos a los más creativos fotógrafos, sino que todos generan una dinámica de enseñanza y aprendizaje de tal suerte que no es exagerado decir que los Jams son la mejor y más económica escuela teórico-práctica que uno puede encontrar a nivel internacional. Como resultado, las modelos y los fotógrafos enriquecen enormemente su portafolio en beneficio mutuo. Cada emisión incluye novedades, como los talleres que se imparten a fotógrafos y modelos sin costo adicional. Pero no acaba allí el asunto. Tanto el modelaje como la fotografía requieren de una buena condición física. De allí que el deporte también se dé cita en los Jams. Por si esto fuera poco, los encuentros incluyen todo tipo de competencias y concursos, y por tanto infinidad de premios y reconocimientos. Todas las noches hay fiestas. Aunque quizás lo más importante de todo es la oportunidad de hacerse amigo de profesionales de todas las latitudes. Así, Ujena ha logrado crear la fiesta del modelaje, la fotografía, el deporte y la amistad. Con todo esto y más, ¿quién no va a amar a UjENA?
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
I love Ujena because it constitutes a beautiful unique concept that greatly enriches all the people that integrate to this community. Many know only a few aspects of what Ujena offers and miss the whole view. To my eyes it is about an integral concept that from the creation and fabrication of de swimsuits and beach garments has been opening ways in the creative and professional field. Without doubt the Ujena webpage has turned into and spectacular meeting ground of photographers and make-up artists, also other actors in the media. No matter what age, ethnic origin, many people have gathered there with great creativity, the Ujena site has accomplished to create with dynamic virtual community of photography and modeling like no other seen before in its kind. Including we could say that it’s an addicting site, that one converts with ease in part of their everyday life. But that’s only the beginning.
From the on growing community Ujena has created a genius concept frankly: The bikini JAMS. It is about events that merge those same protagonists that coincide with their virtual site. The cost of the is the same or less than taking a vacation, with the difference of the added value that one obtains by assisting is great in every way. Not only do photographers find the most talented and beautiful models from around the world, and the models find the most creative photographers but they all generate a great dynamic of teaching and learning.
So it's not am exaggeration to say that the Ujena Jams are the best and more economic school of theory practice that one can find in an international level. As a result the models and photographers greatly enrich their portfolio in mutual benefit. Each time includes great new things free classes that are given to photographers and models at no additional costs. But it doesn’t end there, the modeling as well as the photography require good body fitness so there is where sports also is part of this gathering of the Jams. Like it wasn’t enough the gatherings include all kinds of contests and competitions and there since an infinity of prizes and recognition. Every night there is a party, even tough the most important thing is the opportunity of making professional friends in al kinds of latitudes. That way Ujena has accomplished to create a party of modeling and photography, sports and friendship. With all of this and more who wouldn’t Ujena?

I love Ujena for many reasons. Ujena provides a variety of swimwear & clothing that is both affordable, fashionable, unique and versitile. I have referred several friends to Ujena who were either planning a trip/cruise or just looking for the perfect beach attire & i have receive nothing but positive feedback!
On the ujenatalent.com website there are many features that you can access like the photo galleries, daily top photos & contests that give the models and photographers exposure and opportunity to share their work to the Ujena talent members.
All of the Ujena websites are search friendly which makes it that much easier to find what you are looking for.
Attending one of the Ujena Talent Jams has always been an experience that i have wanted to be a part of. I feel that as a model this is would be an amazing opportunity to surround myself with others in the industry with the experience and knowledge that i desire to take me to that next level in my career.
Standing in shadows never gets you noticed, you have to take the step that puts you out in the sun with your arms wide open and grab that dream and squeeze it until it becomes your reality!
I just hope that someday i am fortunate enough to have the Ujena Bikini Jam experience.
02/26/2008 | Norm Edwards
My first Ujena Jam experience was in 2006 (BJ23) and I didn’t know what to expect and how to work in this event. Now, after three jams I now see and experience everything possible out of the jam. Not only the opportunity of working with wonderful models from all around the world at an exotic location to build up my portfolio, but it is the time I get the chance to exchange and learn from my peers.
As a photographer, I see the Ujena jam as a workshop: a giant workshop. I work under conditions that are totally alien from me and have to adapt and work the best possible shots. Where else could I sit with top international photographers and learn from them other than a Ujena Jam?
Where else could I have the opportunity to work with a model from Germany, Mexico, Costa Rica, United States or the Ukraine other than the Ujena Jam?
Some people make of their house the whole world. Because of the many friends I have, I now can make the whole world my house.
Back in the 80’s, my wife used to buy the Ujena catalogue. If I look through my stack of boxes of magazines, I’m pretty sure that I can pull out a few issues! So, I’ve always been a fan of the swimsuit collection. As years pass by, I see the Ujena team haven’t sat on their laurels and always have kept on researching on new styles and new cuts.
And last but not least and probably the most important reason why I love Ujena is certainly because of the staff. I’ve always felt that all the way to the top, the people are supportive and will work with you so that both parties benefit from each other. Even though one might think that it’s all business, I can vouch that it’s more about friendship and team work.
I’ve learned photography skills from their staff photographers. I’ve learned to shoot catalogue style from their editor. I’ve learned about swimsuits from their staff models. I’ve learned about marketing from their website. I’ve learned to improve my work in photography because of their competition.
Basically, I’m a much better photographer because of Ujena. Because I’m a better photographer, I get more lucrative business. Basically, I feel that I’m cheating Ujena for the rewards I get for the money I put in.
And that is why I love Ujena.

I love Ujena because of all the wonderful services and exposure they offer to models, photographers, makeup artists and stylists alike. Since joining Ujena a few years ago I have made countless valuable connections that I would never have made otherwise. I have been fortunate enough to attend two Bikini Jams in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and am hoping for a 3rd in Spain. I can’t tell you how incredible these events are. Each event is it’s own unique experience of a lifetime. I have learned and grown so much as both a model and individual at these events, it’s unbelievable! The entire Ujena staff is an absolute pleasure to work with, as they are friendly and very personable. They are always available to answer questions and insure that your experience is nothing less than unforgettable. I would recommend Ujena and their Bikini Jams to anyone in the industry, even to friends to give them an excuse to have a great vacation and be surrounded by beautiful women! Ujena has done so much for my modeling career it is indescribable, and I owe them so much! I hope to someday work with Ujena staff and would love to play a bigger part in their online community and also on a personal basis. If you want exposure in the fashion swimwear industry along with a positive network of people to surround yourself with, Ujena.com and the Bikini Jams are the places and experiences to be a part of!

I love UJENA because it is INSPIRATION, the thing that lights the fuse inside me, the products are endless, no one person is left in the dark when trying to find that one thing you need to fit you're personality, and take you over the top, the clothes are sensational, no matter what you're personality, you're bound to walk away with several more luggages than you came with, the websites are astounding, theres opportunity for all who treads here the events and videos are masterminding, for those who have yet to come, "once they have seen what all the fuss is about" they will for sure do what they gotta do to get here.
02/24/2008 | Brian Williams
There are so many things I love about Ujena. The sense of fun, the exotic locations, the cool clothing line, the exposure through the media, the great times. But for me, the main reason I love Ujena is the sense of friendship and family. Even though I originally joined Ujena as a networking opportunity, a pleasant and unexpected bonus of being a part of Ujena, is the sense of friendship and family. I’ve met a lot of people through Ujena. Some of those people have become such an important part of my life, that I’ve often wondered what my life would be like without them. They have literally changed my life for the better. This friendship has helped me create some of the best photos of my life. Without Ujena, my life would definitely be poorer. So thank you Ujena for being a great part of my life, as a partner, friend and most importantly, my family.

Thanks to Hector I won the Piel Dorada Award and now I will be going to Costa Rica in November! Also Hoss from SoloModels.com sponsored me for PV with a 200 Dollar Scholarship!! Thank you Everyone.

BIKINI JAM 23, WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!*
Thanks to all the models that worked with me. I had a great time with all of you. See you on the next jam.
12/12/2007 | Norm Edwards
The UJENA Jam in Puerto Vallarta was FANTASTIC! I am already preparing to go to Cancun in January and then Puerto Vallarta in August 2008.
In Puerto Vallarta there will be over 150 models and over $250,000 in cash, prizes, trips and gifts.
Imagine shooting with top photographers from all over the world in such an exotic place as Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
12/09/2007 | Skye Connelly
Jam 23 in Puerto Vallarta was a tremendous success. I can't emphasize how fortunate I feel to have attended and also placed top 20. I came away from the trip feeling very rewarded and satisfied. Thanks to all the tremendous photographers I had the pleasure of working with, and also to Bob, Catherine, Lisa and Ujena staff for continuing to make this a positive and beneficial experience for everyone.
12/09/2007 | Michael Anderson
I am very impressed with the Ujena Jam 2008 calendar. You have added some really exciting cities and I can not wait to see the photos and videos. I can't make Cancun but I am planning on making at least two of the others. Good luck and good jamming... Michael Anderson, Extra Mile Productions
12/04/2007 | Makala Mumby
Ujena Jam 23 was my first Ujena Jam, and I have to say it was a blast. I now know what to expect at the next one I am able to attend. I got a chance to work with some great photographers, and met so many wonderful people. Thanks Bob for putting this together and making it possible for young women like myself to further their dreams and careers in the crazy world of modeling and acting. I hope to see everyone in Spain next year! Sincerely, Makala Mumby

I had a great time at the Jam. It was my first one, so, I will be better prepared for the next. I definately want my foot in on Cancun. So, I will be turning in my deposit next week.
09/11/2007 | Katelynn
I had an even better time this year, which is hard to believe. Ujena puts on a first class production and I learned so many new things and met so many wonderful people. I don't think I will be making it to Australia, but I hope to see you again for Spain or PV.
09/11/2007 | sopitikoj
I really like your site it is probably the coolest ever.

I just returned from my first jam ever. I had a great time in PV. If it wasn't for Bob contacting me with Americanmodel.com's scholarship I would have never made it. So, thanks bunches! There were some rough times while I was there, but I know how everything works now, so, I'll be better prepared next time. All of the Ujena family are awesome as well as everyone else I met. Hope to see Ujena again soon!

My brother was extremely impressed with Catherine. She made him feel 100% better about me attending the Ujena Jam! My brother & father have both been worried about me traveling to Mexico by myself but I think she assured them that I would be okay! :) Just wanted to say thank you & let you know that you have a wonderful staff!
06/04/2007 | JENNIE MUSOLF
WOW!!!!! Spain what an absolutely wonderful place!! Just got back from Spain via a few days in New York and I still am talking about Spain and the Jam. It was a wonderful experience and I have fallen in Love with Europe and can't wait to go back.... It was the perfect location to hold the first European Bikini Jam and I am sure next year will be soooo much bigger!! It was really nice to have it small and personal for the first time, so much more time to enjoy the surroundings, shoot and visit with old and new friends. Between showing up late, sorry :(( to being yelled at by the Spanish police for crossing those railroad tracks with 4 suitcases, to the endless parties, new friends and the old friends from PV, everything was just great.... You guys did an amazing job of pulling it all together and the new suits are just amazing, what a great job on the designs!! I was not able to shoot as much as I would have liked, but the photographers I was able to shoot with were wonderful, from taking great photos to making me feel completley comfortable.... I had the best time and was thrilled to make Top 10 once again!! See you all in PV :))

Hey Bob and everyone who helped with Bikini Jam 22 Europe. I enjoyed the the Bikini Jam in Spain even more than the one in PV last summer. I can't believe it!
Thank you sooooo much for picking such a killer place and arranging such a great event. I think I liked the pace of this event more than the one in PV. It might just be because I arrived a little earlier, and it wasn't so "new" to me this time, but I sure did get some great photos, and I think I made more friends this time than last time. I really look forward to coming to the next jam in Mexico. Hopefully I can get the money together to make it a 10 day trip this time.
Sorry, but I don't want to start naming names of people I'm thankful to, because I don't want to leave anyone out. Everyone, thanks for helping make this trip awesome!
I'm definitely going to get a couple more of those new bikinis you all are rolling out. I don't know how I'm going to choose which ones though.
Thanks again. It was really a blast.

Dear Bob and Catherine,
I just wanted to tell you what a GREAT time I had in Sitges. I'll have memories to last forever! Except for a few kinks, things went pretty well, considering it was our first time in Europe. In comparison to the jams in Mexico, since this was a smaller event, it had a much more personal and more meaningful feel to it. I felt that I really got a chance to get to know the people involved. Even though Kelly Szabo and Amber Lee were good friends of mine from previous, I think I never would have had the opportunity to get to know Tracy, Andria, David, Alex and the others on such a personal basis. The smaller group and the leisurely pace of this event really made a big difference, and I like that better. I had no problem in helping out models in times of despair. Amber and Kelly needed some help with their hair accessories since their units overloaded with the higher voltage. But hey, you know me. When hair is involved, I'm there! Special thanks must be given to Martin, David, Henry and Alex. Thanks to their cars, we were able to get to locations in the centre with no problems! I hope we can do another jam in Europe! Thanks to everyone for making the event so memorable!
Brian H. Williams

Bob,
I just returned from Bikini Jam 22 in Sitges, Spain. I had an amazing 9 days. You did a great job on choosing a wonderful location for the 1st Jam in Europe. I am so happy that I was able to be a part of it! I am thrilled to have had the chance to shoot with you! I made the TOP 10 for the models and my sponosor: Mark Haas made the top 5 for photographers! Once again, thank you Mark for sponsoring me for Bikini Jam 22, you are the best. I had a wonderful roommate Amber Lee. She really made my trip an outstanding experience. I felt like we had been long lost best friends. I am so happy to have her as a new friend in my life. Brian Williams came to both Amber's and my rescue on numerous occassions. Thank you so much for the blowdryer and flat iron. I had a blast filming with Bennett Productions for both Bikini Jam 22 and Playing in Paradise. Everybody with the crew was a pleasure to work with. I finally had the chance to work with Patrik Book. He is an incredible photographer and now a new friend, friend for life. I am so excited about the chance to go to Sweden and visit both him and Madeleine. Oh yes, and sweet Madeleine. The blonde goddess! She is gorgeous and sweet, what a combination! Catherine Cross lended her hand in make up artistry. She made me look beautiful. She made all of the girls in the top 10 look absolutely gorgeous for the shootout!
There are so many more wonderful people and memories I have from this trip! I promise to write more later. Please know that each and everyone of you brought something new and special into my life. Thank you!
Best Wishes and Much Success!

My friends and I had a wonderful time this year in Puerto Vallarta. All of the models, photographers and guests were warm and friendly. I made so many new friends during the week. I am glad that Jamie Blanchard invited us to join her in Mexico. I am looking forward to next year and already have a list started of my friends who want to join us. Thank you again for a wonderful event.

The Ujena Bikini Jam was very well-organized. The parties I attended had great food and service, and great layout. Christina's Nightclub was awesome with a the big bands flipped on a large screen like the Rolling Stones. The Academy Night, awards night, was liked a Las Vegas show, very professional. Kato's presence was an ice-breaker. He was very friendly and lively, and whoever got him on-board at Ujena was very smart. I just wish I would have met more people.

Bob,
There is going to be a Jam event in Europe? I have dreamed of going to Europe since I was a little girl! Is that next summer? I just landed a good paying job so I hope to save up to attend again, although it will be rough, I emptied out my college savings to attend this year's jam, and I felt it was worth it. I didn't care about winning, I knew that was probably far fetched. To be completely honest, I am shocked I made it in top 10 for OMP! Even more shocked I made top 20 for Ujena!
Thank you so much for choosing me. And I finally got to me one of my biggest inspirations and idols, Sarah Ponce...never did I think a model could be so kind and down to earth! I met so many awesome girls, I never dreamed I would even make it this far.
It was a pleasure to meet you Bob. I feel honored I got to work with you for the catalog. I can't wait to see it when it comes out!! Hope to see you at Bikini Jam 22!

I would recommend this event for photographers who want to experience a real life shoot where your skills in communication, photography, scouting, creativity, collaboration, time management, and physical stamina are tested and judged. Or you can go there to relax, have fun in the sun and shoot a couple great models in a bikini or two.
09/18/2006 | Mari Smyth
Hey Bob,
I just wanted to thank you and all the other Ujena Staff for a wonderful time in PV. I can't wait to see how you could possibly top that, but I know it's been better every year, I hear. Let me know more about what's going on in Spain please. Thanks so much for everything.

Hi Bob!
Thanks so much for holding such a great event. I had a wonderful time and my portfolio has doubled. I met some great photographers that I would love to work with again. Modeling is so much fun and its a great way to express yourself, I share the same passion I have for modeling with singing so I'm presently in Seattle trying out for American Idol! Thanks again sooo much!

This was my first time attending the Bikini Jam! I had a blast! I worked with some amazing photographers. I am thrilled with the images that that I got. They are definitely my best bikini images images thus far. I competed for the Paradeez Spokesmodel contest and was one of the four finalists. Everyone with Paredeez was absolutely fanstastic! I am can't wait to see the DVD that they are putting together for me. This will definitely be an assest to my acting career. I met so many new friends during my stay in Puerto Vallarta. I know some of them will be friends for life. The Bikini Jam has helped to take my modeling career to the next level. I can't wait for next year!
Best Wishes!

Are you all recovered?
WOW what a week, so impressive !
All the changes are amazing!
I have to admit being pregnant going to a bikini contest was not my first choice of places to hang out for a week.
But as always the people at your events are so impressive.
Andy and our team had a fabulous time and are excited to continue Run-Bets relationship with you.

Bob,
I'm astounded at how much I've changed as a photographer in such a small time because of the bikini jam.
I came down knowing I was doing well as a photographer, satisfied in the results of my photography and the 'path' in life that my work seemed to be taking me down. After attending the jam and working so closely with the models and exceptionally skilled photographers I have a whole new respect for photography. I've always been happy with the results of my photoshoots, but never ever have I been emotional about the results. Never have I been so thrilled, even with the unphotoshopped raw images, that I couldn't wait to show any and everyone who would take a moment to look.
I never knew how different 'bikini model photography' could be.... Why would it be? Now I know. I'm enthralled in it, it's all I can think about. The next location, the best model to shoot, I've lost the interest in wedding photography etc. Just to be a part of your amazing event ... well there are no words to describe how much it's changed and helped me. I've found what I'm sure I want to persue as a career in life.
I've never been around so many strangers, in competition with them, and felt so welcomed, so 'at home'. You really are blessed with success in an amazing industry. The awards.... The stage was phenomenol. I was floored at how classy the whole awards ceremony was. I had no idea it would be so prestigious. I can only anticipate how stupendous the next one will be.
At the end of it all someone asked me how I felt about going home empty handed and I have to say, I've gone home from this with much more than an award could ever give me. I have a new sense of meaning, goals to strive for. I see these beautiful women and these hard working fantastic photographers up there smiling and holding their awards and I see in them what I am working so hard to achieve. Thanks to you and your staff, I can attend these events, I can live, learn and grow, and maybe one day I will be blessed with a chance to grace the stages recieving my own award for all my hard work. Perhaps one day I will be so lucky as to work side by side with the amazing people I've been so lucky as to work near this past year.
I could write for hours, but I won't take up too much of your time, I just wanted to let you know how much this all has meant to me.
Regards,

Bob and Catherine,
I'm planning on coming back. I've been thinking about what I need to do differently next year to do better in the competition.
Another idea I'm thinking about is holding a local competition here either in Philadelphia or at the New Jersey shore with the winner receiving full sponsorship to Jam 22 that I would either find sponsors to fund or I would fund myself.

Bob,
Xury and I just wanted to say thanks again for an amazing week. We met so many wonderful and talented people in Puerto Vallarta. Yourself, Catherine, Cassandra, and the rest of the Ujena family were also very helpful as well. Bikinijam 21 definitely exceeded all of our expectations and we look forward to even bigger and better for next year. Thanks again!!!
Best regards,

Dear Bob,
First of all me and my wife Laura want to thank you for the opportunity of taking part of this UjENA Bikini Jam 2006. It was a great experience and we want to congratulate you for the great concept you created. As you know, this was our first experience in a Bikini Jam and you can bet we will be there next year.

Bob,
I just wanted to tell you what a really amazing time I had at the Jam. It was such an awesome experience working with the photographers and meeting so many new friends. I am sorry that I didn't have a chance to sit and talk with you, but time didn't seem to allow for that. I will for sure be back next year!! Wow! What an amazing staff from Ujena, you truly have a wonderful company. I hope I will see you all at another time/event.
Thanks again for a great opportunity.

Ya está a la vuelta de la esquina el 23 Encuentro Internacional de Fotógrafos y Modelos (UjENA JAM), que se celebrará en Puerto Vallarta del 23 al 31 de agosto. Estoy formando un grupo de fotógrafos y modelos mexicanos (tenemos que ser al menos 12) que quieran aprovechar esta oportunidad única en muchos sentidos. La ventaja de ir como grupo radica en que podemos obtener un descuento de $100 dólares cada uno en la cuota de inscripción. Sé que muchos no se han animado a participar por los costos, pero bien vale la pena hacer un esfuerzo.
Este Encuentro ofrece muchas ventajas a los participantes. Para los que nunca han ido, déjenme explicarles en qué consiste. En Puerto Vallarta nos reunimos más de 300 fotógrafos, modelos, promotores y patrocinadores. Por un lado, los fotógrafos tienen la oportunidad de tomarles fotos a modelos de todo el mundo. Por el otro, las modelos reciben copia de esas fotos. De entrada, todos enriquecen sus destrezas y su portafolio. Los fotógrafos pueden considerar este encuentro como una oportunidad adicional de mejorar sus habilidades al tratarse formalmente de una competencia. Quizás uno de los aspectos más interesantes es que todos son valorados en función del resultado fotográfico. No se trata de un concurso de belleza. Se trata de una competencia en la que se manifiesta la capacidad de trabajar en equipo el binomio fotógrafo-modelo.
Pero también es un espacio para capacitarse. A lo largo del Encuentro se ofrecerán 10 talleres de capacitación, cada uno de una hora de duración. Fotografía en locación, técnicas en el aprovechamiento de la luz, selección y edición de imágenes, maquillaje, aprovechamiento óptimo de la cámara, modelar con bikini… Yo mismo impartiré un taller sobre fotografía artística. Simplemente el valor de estos talleres ya vale lo que cuesta participar en el evento.
Durante las actividades hay cazadores de talentos. Revistas como Maxim y Playboy, televisoras como TV Azteca, Televisa y Canal 7 de Costa Rica, cadenas de TV por cable, empresas privadas como Nikon y Corona y la prensa nacional e internacional tienen su mirada puesta en este evento. Muchas modelos han iniciado su carrera profesional después de participar en estos encuentros. Muchos fotógrafos logran jugosos contratos. En otras palabras, tendrás la mesa puesta y toda la libertad para moverte y hacer relaciones públicas.
Por supuesto, todos los días hay fiestas y al final se entregan los más de 40 premios y reconocimientos con valor de cientos de miles de dólares en un cierre espectacular.
El caso es que vale la pena. Si sumas todas estas ventajas verás que el precio es muy razonable. Irte simplemente de vacaciones a cualquier lugar te costaría lo mismo o más.

I love UjENA Jam GDL 2008 Essay entry!
I had so much fun in Spain that I can't even think of missing another Ujena Jam.... So typing and crossing my finger (at the same time LOL) I hope my essay wins! :-)
I love the people, the clothing and all the fun that comes with it. I have to say that being a part of Ujena and the Jams have totally changed my life. After returning from Spain I find it very hard to even explain why I love ujena so much. It is more of an emotion now and a warm fuzzy feeling followed with a bright smile!
Lots of Love

I LOVE UJENA!Was a great experience to meet all of you! I want to be thankful to all those that have supported me in this UJENA JAM SPAIN. Specially to all the models that obediently collaborated with my instructions helping me and facilitating my work. And specially thank for my friend the winner DAVID ROJAS, to give the confidence to participate in the competition of this Jam and the spirits that he gave me, to be able to give the material on time.
Love to all UJENA people!!

I LOVE Ujena! Ever since i went to my first Jam in Puerto Vallarta, I've been hooked. At first I just thought the UjenaTalent.com website was a great place to find gorgeous bikini models, but with my first experiences shooting models in Ujena fashions, including cool bikinis that look better than other bikinis I've worked with, I realized there is NO BETTER WAY to get great photos of lots of gorgeous models in a wide variety of swimwear and other outfits!
Ujena opens up a whole world of possibilities! I know of NO other event that compares with a Ujena Jam, and I know of no site that compares with UjenaTalent.com - that's WHY . . . I LOVE UJENA!

I remember when I was attending college in Washington, DC, and at homecoming I was approached by a recruiter who told me about the UjENA Bikini Jam. I decided to enter, filled out the paperwork, and sent in some photos. My best moment took place when Bob Anderson, founder and President of UjENA, called me personally to congratulate me on being qualified to compete in the Bikini Jam. And more amazingly on that note, I am hard of hearing, so he called me on the TTY line, which is a device that was widely used by the deaf and hard of hearing community! I was incredibly honored that the President of UjENA took the time to call me! I of course thanked Bob, promptly accepted the invite to Bikini Jam X, and then moved out to California to give this modeling opportunity a shot.
My love for UjENA became ever stronger after competing in Bikini Jam X which took place in Costa Mesa, CA back in 1995. From that time I was hooked and the memories and connections I developed have been with me ever since. At that Jam I also made the Swimwear Illustrated Calendar and the UjENA Bikini Team – from over 300 contestants I couldn’t have been more thrilled!
Over the years, UjENA has always promoted health and fitness and has included many events in their Jams involving runway, talents shows, sports including the one I participated in - archery, and the 5k run which has been in every Jam since its inception. All this has demonstrated why I love UjENA so much – for its continued mission: the empowerment of women to lead a healthy, happy, and physically fit lifestyle. And beautiful women from all over the world have lived this dream and been a part of the International Bikini Jams demonstrating their talent, beauty, and athleticism.
I love that UjENA also provides amazing opportunities in the form of scholarship program contests, numerous Bikini Jam beauty and fitness sponsored competitions, and endless networking with other models and photographers. That is one of the other incredible and unique things about the Bikini Jam competitions – they are a combined swimsuit model and photographer competition. This ends up attracting photographers from all over the world, photographers who have a great passion for their craft and create high quality photos which end up making the UjENA Swimwear Illustrated magazines the best ever!
UjENA’s merchandise is the best in the market. They have the right materials to fit every model and continue to create a wide variety of new fashion and swimwear lines that radiate the right qualities and concepts of what makes good taste. UjENA’s media also does an amazing job in covering the Bikini Jams at the many different breathtaking and exotic locations which include Stiges, Spain; Sydney, Australia; Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
What’s not to love about UjENA? We are all a part of the ever loving and growing UjENA family! I LOVE UjENA and always will!

I LOVE UJENA
Ujena has provided me with a combination of things that I could not get anywhere else.
As a photographer, I'm constantly finding new sites to market myself on and show off my porfolio. Most are simply portfolio post sites, some feature blogs, forum or some other type of 'network' feature, but none has the sense of community that ujenatalent.com has. The quality of the photographers and the models that I see on ujenatalent.com is also outstanding. That's even more amazing in that there is no fee to join the site.
I have attended many group shoots, workshops and seminars over the years, but NOTHING like the Ujena Talent Jam. It's difficult to explain to someone how much MORE this is than what you see on the surface. The pairing of gorgeous models and well-made, beautiful swimsuits in such a lush, exotic location was perfect for creating fansatic images. Also, my trip ended up being one of the best learning experiences I could have asked for.
By being a part of the Ujena community and Talent Jam, I've made freinds that I hope to keep for life, increased my skills as a photographer and made business contacts that I would never have dreamed of making.
I'll definitely be coming back again and again!

The reasons “I Love UjENA” can be summed up into 3 categories (and as soon as I mention them, they are going to be just as self evident to you as they are to me); Quality of Staff, Quality of Members, and Quality of Product.
As far as Staff, they are on the ball! I mean come on, I hadn’t even been a member for 24 hours and I’d already received inside information on incredible opportunities as a make-up artist for competitions in other countries! Who else can offer that?? I was quickly and efficiently made a member and I can honestly say, on another modeling site, it took me THREE WEEKS to join. My pictures took next to no time to be approved to my portfolio which is always a good thing when the whole point is to “get you work out there to be seen.” The site itself has easy access to information and very operator friendly with loading and organizing pictures in my profile. Organized, organized, organized is what they are!
The Members, you want to talk about, “Quality”? That is what UjENA has to offer. Page after page of talent! Models, Photographers, Make-up Artists, Hair, etc, you name it, they have it! If you want to know where the beautiful people are…Right here!!
And last but not least: Quality of Product. Incredibly hot swimwear, beachwear, day and evening wear! But really, that’s not even the only type of “products” that they offer: The UjENA Jams themselves are a product that they offer. Where else can professionals of all areas of modeling get together under “one roof” and create some fantastic, one of a kind art? Picking exotic location, the amount of time, energy and money that goes into making it happen” for everyone in attendance, that kind of dedication? That’s UjENA!

Hello all first thing I want to say is "why I love ujena jam". I think its a great experience and opportunity for models to get a feel of why they choose the field of modeling. I think this will help improve a model's potential and show her the ropes of the entertainment business. I hope to gain lots of experience from other models and to get more exposure. Ujena provides a great environment for the models to feel safe and provide excellent images to take home with you. I am very eager to join Ujena and hope to get to one of the bikini jams this year. I strive to become a better model as well as become more successful in this business. I hope I can get help finacially and get to feel why I love Ujena so much.
03/11/2008 | Lea Gunter
I like UJENA one-piece swimsuits and their dresses. I like how UJENA's clothes really accentuate the curves of a woman's body.
03/11/2008 | Tasha Arrington
" I LOVE UJENA !!!!" Because Ujena gives models, photographers, MUAs and many others a chance to showcase their talents. There are many Awesome hard working Models that remain undiscovered in the fast paced entertainment world. But there is one place to bring your talent... Ujena . Ujena every year gives women the chance to shine and deliver. Thanks Ujena. Tasha aka "Jacqueen"

There are so many reason why we all love Ujena and the Bikini Jams, but I will just keep it short and sweet with this essay dedicated to the experiences I've had and love with Ujena.
I hear the waves. I feel the rush. I’ve got my powder. I’ve got my brush. I feel the sun on my skin. I’ve got drive it takes to win. The sun is low, the stakes are high. I stare into the camera’s eye. Crash the waves into my soul. Capture my heart on your blank film roll.
Today again I make new friends, for years to come at all earth's ends. Shoot me till the day is done. Tomorrow I rise before the sun. See the stars fade away, see new ones shine throughout the day. Run and shoot, swim and smile. We do it best Ujena style!
On the beach or avatar, Ujena suit are best by far.

I LOVE Ujena because of all the social networking sites I've ever joined or participated in Ujena is the BEST. Just last week Ujena recognized one of photographs as on of the Top Ten of the Week. That has NEVER happen on ANY other site ever! Just that recognition alone is what convinces me that Ujena is the REAL DEAL :)

Why do I love Ujena? It might take a lot more time than I can even spare to write it all out, but the reasons are very real, as are the people involved.
The comaradarie has to be the number one reason, as it is a large family setting, where the system may be competitive when the group has to be in the Jams, but even then, it is done with the best of assistance, guidance for those in need, and friendship for all. It is also the best of family settings when tragedy strikes, and someone is in need of a kind word, some real wisdom, or even a good hug.
Professionalism is also a very major quality, and one that is advancing in all phases of our trades, and we see that every day, with improvements in the images we submit, as the people get to share ideas, and also get to attend the seminars and classes that are put on. Everything we do to advance our own images, and those of everyone around us, improves the image of us all.
The quality of the Ujena Swimwear product, and it's fit, sexiness and appeal when on these amazing models has to be mentioned as well, as without that to assist in making the photographs have their zing, the photographers would just be photographing landscapes.
The travel opportunities have been amazing, as well as the opportunity to assist models in getting their chance to get to the jams by donating to scholorships, and seeing their reactions when they get to these locations, and their thanks is very rewarding. Additionally knowing you had a part in their making it to the top 20, or receiving a Fame reward is very fulfilling.
The corporation also, from top to bottom, always shows dedication, not only to product, but to service in getting the Jams done, and other needs taken care of. Taking care of family...
Most of all, one gets the best reward when you see the model displaying the photos you took of them, as that really acknowledges their appreciation for the work you have done for them.
This community has been very good about giving the recognition to each other, for not only the major accomplishments of the competitions, but even the minor ones of daily life, the successes of careers, and even the support through the tragedies that fate may deliver.
But that is what a real family is about, and that is truly what this community is, to at least the great many of those who are active and dedicated to it. Myself proudly included. - Keith

I Love Ujena! I'm 23 years old. I was born in Ecuador but currently live in Houston. I am a full time student at the University of Houston. I am a broadcast journalism major with a minor in Spanish and hope to use that in a career in television. I have done some modeling in the past and would love to get back in the business so I can travel the world. I am in need of some sponsorship so I can attend Ujena Jam in PV.

I Love Ujena, it brings people together from all over the world. Ujena unite extreme gorgeous looking bikini models with talent artist as photographers and co-operate talents. Even although as I’m a part of winter landscape for the moment I can really feel summer coming into my heart when I’m visiting Ujena website, isn’t that fantastic? What I have learned from a photographer in the fashion industry about Ujena’s Bikini Jam in Barcelona Spain is that it’s a fantastic opportunity to all participants, and a hectic week. It will be like a benefit to join the Jam as I just love to take photographs of beautiful good looking models. See you in Spain.
All my best!

I love Ujena because of the variety of swimwear they have had over the years. The suits are not only fabulous in appearance, but the way the suits fit my body is amazing! I always feel like a million bucks in them AND ALWAYS get a ton of compliments from guys and girls while on the beach.
I also love Ujena because of the modeling opportunites it has provided me with. I would not have been in touch with so many wonderful people, models, photographers, and companies, if Ujena were not such a fabulous company with an outstanding reputation; for this, I want to thank Ujena from the bottom of my heart for this.
There are so many reasons to love Ujena that simply won't be included within 500 words or less, but in conclusion, Ujena has not only created an outstanding reputation but they have a solid productive future ahead of them, and this my friends, is why I love Ujena and want to be a part of the evergrowing and everchanging family!
Thank you!

Why I love Ujena?
Well, I have never seen a company in this sector of industry so progressive on the internet... Serving it's community with all kinds of tools, platforms and events. Constant renewing and improving its websites and allways actively using the newest techniques the internet has to offer.
It's that kind of commitment and forward movement that appeals to me the most. And of course it's great community with enthusiastic people in the modelling and photographing industry.
That's why I love Ujena...

It wasn't very long ago I became part of the Ujena Talent family. From day one, I was welcomed with such great encouragement and praise. I have received so many complements, as well as tremendous feedback on my portfolio, which helps me to get better at this, my craft, which I love. I have had the chance to connect with models, photographers, and networking affiliates from all over the world, which is incredible! I think it is great that everyone here at Ujena work as a team, a family | |
