Suzie approached me in the context of a port-folio refresher session. She had modeled when she was much younger but children and other responsibilities meant it took a back seat. She was also wanting to regain her confidence.
A hairdresser by trade, I wasn’t surprised to find her presentation and preparation bang on. There are definitely parallels between social photography and hairdressing. Both are very personal services requiring empathy and rapid rapport.
Despite a bitterly cold wind, we managed to achieve some very pleasing results. Regular breaks to warm up and review progress also encouraged wardrobe changes. It was quickly apparent she had modeled before and was very self-aware, which meant she posed very naturally and took direction equally well. Key reasons why I enjoy working with those returning to the profession.
