After being recommended by another clothing company I was contacted by ligthouse photography to do jayliz ( an african based clothing line), new Autumn selection.
Arrangements were made and dates were sent. I set my alarm on my phone, but stupidly left my phone on silent, so it didn't go off. Woke up at 10.15 and had to be there by 10.30, it looked doubtful i could amke an 1.30min journey in that time.
Rung Michael, who was directing the shoot and he couldn't have been more sympathetic about it. So arrive closer to 12 o'clock. Instantly went into hair and made up. I had this weird quiff thing and scrape back hair, made me look very weird, and strangely ginger. Make up was kept fairy natural. There were two other models; Jo and Rebecca (plus boyfriend as escort). Rebecca at 6,1 and Jo at 5,9 certainly made me look tiny. But not to worry, the shots were individual. We did about 5 clothes changes each, very carefully thought about in terms of each location to suit the clothing, and earings, jewellery, shoes etc. Mine was a long flowing maxi dress, 2 evening dresses, and 2 day dresses. All were size 8-10 which meant they were massive on me, although this didn't show in the photos. Unfortunately the weather was freezing, dull and grey 9 you wouldn't be able to tell my pictures though).
So that went on and i had already asked and arranged with the photographer that after i would do some bikini shots. The other girls were up for the idea so we drove to a remote area. However, the directors girlfriend was overheard not being too happy about this, so i instantly felt guilty about suggesting this, and very uncomfortable getting death stares. She was saying that he has to look at girls bodies and say what they should do, and she doesn't like this. Although i can see her point, i didn't agree with it, nor that she should be so protective. Ah well guess that's our differences.
I do not do any glamour, and it was all shot in a very high fashion way. I probably wont use it in my portfolio it's more for personal use and to show images of my body when applying for some casings. It was very fun until i was referred to as a sex kitten. This is due to my curves, short height and naturally taking to some sexy positions. I have said i only want high fashion style so hopefully i won't look too much like a ssex kitten- my worse nightmare, although i'm sure my facebook would go mad for it..
After the shoot me and the other models went to eat fish and chips and have some drinks, on brighton each.
Good day all in all- until i missed the last train.. jeez transport and times hate me
