So I am sharing all the activities that happened from February 2018 to fill all the gaps because i have soooo much to tell you guys that i can't just skip a full year and start from whats going on now.
Around February i had my first photo-shoot by this guy called Conor it was an opportunity for the both of us so why not.
We initially met on Tinder (funny enough) and then decided that our first "date" was going to be him taking pictures of me (like the diva i am) in Notting Hill Gate, quite a bait location i know but the pictures turned out alright.
Not gonna lie it was scary and it took me more than one shoot before getting comfortable on camera, but now I am pro baby (lool just joking) all useful and fun for a first experience that then made me to have a few more shoots.
Here a few tips on how to enjoy a first photo shoot:
- EAT: as obvious as this might sound taking pictures is like a gym session with a PT. Obviously don't stuff your self with a whole meal from KFC eat light make sure that belly look flat; you are going to be so tired and hungry by the end of it, as there is a lot of walking involved if it's an outdoor shoot.
- Make sure you are comfortable in your chosen outfits: Pick the best of the best, if you need to buy a new one treat your self lovely these are professional pictures so they ain't just for the gram but you might need them in future use.
- Hair and Make up needs to be on point: Yall know the struggle if the lighting isn't good you know the pictures are going to be looking funny, Tell your photographer if your make up looks alright after a few pictures. What i would advise is not to have crazy counciler and highlight as the flashbacks could turn your face into a yellow mess (personal experience). If you are wearing wig or whatever hairstyle you have on double check if is glued on properly, your edges are looking on point and all that jazz.
- Have a little rehearsal so you know what "mood" you are going for: what i mean with mood is facial expressions; are you going for happy and smiley look or bad bitch serious and no one is messing with me? Take some pictures at home on your phone to see what you want and you might decide you just doing your own thing.
- HAVE FUN: must important have fun don't give your self too much pressure, is just your a photo shoot and its all leisure and growth.
Unfortunately i cant find all the picture from the shoot as it was over a year ago but here some that i saved.
Outfit: Jeans Topshop, Top Zara & Hair Beauty Grace.
