Hey Hey I’m at it again!
Final Friday, the day after my Marco Sanges event, I had the pleasure of working with Madelaine Barlow for the first time.
Maddy is a talented up and coming photographer. When I saw her work on her model mayhem profile I knew I certainly wanted to work with her.
What lured me in even further is when Maddy told me we’d be shooting with two modern MOT Models. I quickly had a see at their portfolios and knew it was going to be a successful shoot.
Along Maddy’s side for the day was her assistant Hayley Brown. Hayley is too a talented photographer who was kind sufficient to assist Maddy for the day. Both girls were brilliant…. and so was their music choice…maximum of the day was spent listening to Rage Against the Machine…and a bit of Beyonce thrown in, in the beginning! Both rocking the studio!
I arrived fair as the stylist David Bartlett arrived with his many bags and suitcases. We rushed up to the studio and David quickly started whipping out all the dress so that he could press and steam them…I’m worried he had his work cut out for him as everything was wrinkled! Destitute David has his work cut out for him!
When I walked into the studio and saw Hayley for the first time…the first thing I did was scan down to her feet. There THEY were…my loafers…the ones I’ve been lusting after for months! Patent Leather Tassel Slip on Loafers from Russel and Bromley! I reckon my heart stopped for a moment when I saw them and it took a moment to capture my breath!
Once I composed myself and stopped staring at Hayley’s feet I set up my station and waited for the first model to reach, which is this case was David Peters. David walked in blonde, incredibly tanned and slightly shy. I had him sit down and waited until the time was right to crack a ’sun-bed’ joke. Luckily for him the tan was due to playing golf as he’s a professional golfer…not because he spent hours on a tanning bed every week. The banter quickly flowed and David soon felt relaxed and alert for the day.
Once David was alert Fergel arrived…the other model. Fergel was a small less shy and so he quickly sat down and started chatting absent approximately his acting, his job as the manager at Abercrombie & Fitch and other bits and bobs.
Once the boys were alert, Maddy and Hayley were set up and David(stylist) had pressed all 4000 outfits we were alert to go. David quickly threw the boys into some very well place together outfits, making them see sleek and edgy. Every outfit David pulled out was brilliant! His ability to accessorize was an art in itself! I took down a few notes!
