What I like is a model who knows what he/she wants so that we can work on our shared ideas. Becky always has ideas and a Bollywood style was her idea. So backed up with her Indian style dresses I routed out my Indian fabric and we set to work on exciting ideas. Haunting moody dark portraits along with bursts of colour. Then we played around with backlit images showing becky behind the fabric. We rang the changes totally after that with some contemporary fashion which suits Becky so well with her long legs, height and poise.
My second shoot with Becky seemed to come round very fast and as before organisation was great apart from one thing! The Make-Up Artist cancelled on the day. Undeterred we just got on and went for three very different looks. The first showed off Becky's grace in front of camera. With her dance background her poise really makes a difference. The second set I wanted to give Becky an attitude and edge so that she has something different for her portfolio. Using some shadowy lighting enhanced further the mood. Our third set involved getting very much a winter fashion look. Becky being very tall; fashion is so much part of her modelling. I think this really brought a more mature look to her portfolio. Variety is the spice of life. Very positive shoot.
