When Efflectum messaged me and we discussed our second shoot I was really looking forward to it. We were hoping to mix studio and location although the weather looked rather ominous. We had two outfits from a new Latex designer Black Sheep Latex Studio went well and luckily the weather held for a couple of locations literally two minutes from the studio. As usual Effectum was very organised and very capable with hair and Make-up. Banter flowed all day as we discussed music and the fashion industry. Plenty of fun and great results.
When it comes to dedication and passion you have to sacrifice time to get what you want. Portia is one of those people who has drive and energy to succeed. I think this is the furthest any model has come to work with me. It puts to shame the models living locally who cancel at the drop of a hat. Not only did Portia come all the way from Liverpool but she made her way across London to borrow clothes from a designer and then get the train to leafy Surrey.
We really did not have much time to shoot! So being organised was key including making cups of tea. Portia is infectious and very confident and with our creativity meant four outfits in two hours and it never felt rushed. Just enjoy!
