My First Ever Shoot - Collage Modelling
I got a message from a photographer called Julian Bradney who wanted me to help out with his collage work- modelling business clothing, We had a lot of mutual friends due to going to collage in the same town, and many people knew him so I said YES!
I turned up at the collage studio to see lots of people setting up this room; putting up studio lights, rolling down a back drop and moving draws out of the room! I was so nervous, I said hello to everyone and tried to help out.... big mistake! couldn't have been more clumsy, but I guess thats why i'm not behind the camera!

I had no idea how to pose or anything but I kept thinking back to how I saw models pose online. So I mimicked their poses and stayed very relaxed until julian directed me to do something else! After a while I got into the flow and really enjoyed it.

When the shoot was finished I couldn't wait to see the photos, I waited a few days and they were finally out! I almost didn't recognise myself but adored them!
Seeing behind the scenes was fun too! standing in the room and seeing how it changed around me with backgrounds and lighting.
