Thanks jal718 for helping me out. That campaign shoot with Kianna and Seyla is superb.
Youtube embeds:
The below is age restricted for some reason; it is just another video of her playing around in swimwear, with the title "Kianna Stephens:What Made Her Queen of Miss Swimsuit USA 2023?"
Spoiler
Two local YT mirrors. The first is a Show Reel video from 2022 (changed contained from mkv to mp4 and guillotined unrelated junk off the end):
Kianna Stephens - Showreel-TaapPrnFFt4-00.00.00.000-00.03.26.455.mp4
The second is the Spring Lookbook for Jenerique, London, 2021:

There is nothing 'generic' about Kianna from Cornwall.
Plus a short portrait orientation section from one of the Youtube embeds on my previous post:
Three casual 2021 videos of kool Kianna for Jenerique (a simple mkv to mp4 container swap):

Guess studio images, part 2:
I'm also fond of her first look amongst this image set, their oversized paisley shirt.
Some photographs from Miss Swimsuit USA are available for purchase in PDF form, but they wouldn't be HQ (eg a 49 page PDF full of photos that only has a file size of 16MB, around 340 kb per image, social media quality). These are samples, the covers having better resolution & quality than the images inside:
Plus an image of a Kianna doll I found on social media:
I think she has done more work for this brand, but the above were the only images I could find on their web site now.
Images from Tucca's social media that aren't crops of the above but genuinely different photographs:
5 short product videos, 4 spoiled to reduce vertical sprawl:

Why some images are gone ? from the guess catalogue , getting 404 error
mshuajsakye, which Guess images are 404ing for you? (either image thumbnails or filenames; I prefer the latter) - I could reupload. Or it could be a temporary glitch.
Kianna is also featured prominently for Ashlea Baker's swimwear/beachwear brand. Depending upon which browser I used I was getting either pngs or lossy webps, most with largish dimensions. Unfortunately the pngs varied considerably in image quality; some were definitely being served to me by Shopify that had previously been heavily over-compressed. The first 2 posts I am creating are the higher quality ones (no serious compression damage or over-processing), which I am keeping as png (I just ran them through Pinga, which reduced the file size by about 20% without harming the images - same number of colors before and after).

Kianna for Ashlea Baker, higher quality images, part 2 (of 2):
Ashlea's site, like a few other fashion e-commerce sites, provides some details about the model wearing the apparel. In this case, "Kianna (brunette hair) is a UK size 6-8 / 32DD bra and wears a size M bikini top... Kianna (brunette hair) is a UK size 6-8 and wears a size S bikini bottom." 'Kianna is perfect' would also be acceptable to me.
3 Ashlea Baker product videos (1080 pixels tall, H264 encoded, which seems to be the standard for fashion e-commerce videos):

And here is a photo of Ashlea at a stall with four Kianna posters, and possibly some printed catalogues to Ashlea's left. I feel like getting hold of some of these posters and (carefully) attaching them to the walls and ceiling of the room I am working in.
These were the more problematic Ashlea Baker images; in the images I posted above the png was superior, but in these the webp was slightly better than the png, so the png wasn't just webp transcoded to fake lossless. I tinkered with these ones to reduce artifacts and to restore a little bit of the fine detail and sharpness that has been wrecked by the CDN. Not good enough for a large poster print, but okay for casual web viewing. The other models are credited as Maddie (blond) and Olivia.
Kianna would have been feeling somewhat cold during one of those photoshoots for Ashlea Baker, but would have mastered the art of temporarily suppressing psychological and physical discomfort a long time ago. A model without that ability would struggle.
I recently read (on her IG) that Kianna had been on 75 work related flights ✈️🌍🛫🏰🌴🏙️🛬 this year (one every 3.5 days) and that she still lives in Cornwall. That attachment to the past probably helps keeps her grounded 🌱🌳. And speaking of the influence of the past on the present...
