Miss Francesca

A few weeks ago I shot with TheTalent.Net's new face Francesca and I thought i'd show a selection of the images - I always enjoy working with new faces as I think it's really good to be able to show the development from the first shot to the last as both the model warms up as do I.



Jodie was in charge of hair and make-up and we managed a huge number of different shots in a short space of time - we started off with a natural look and then adapted it slightly, working with hair up and down to give a bit of variation to the shots.


When I'm testing with a model specifically for an agency I steer clear of working to an editorial story and hope to get the model used to being in front of the camera - although it might not be their debut being photographed it is their first time with me.


I generally aim to get at least one 'sexed up' shot - something that will stand out in their book or on the agency website beyond natural shots that the model tends to get plenty of at the beginning of building their book - it also gives clients a chance to see potential within the model.


Francesca is a fantastic girl - beyond having eyes that look like glass, a slender figure and a really warming smile, she has the greatest personality... Being scouted in the street and whisked up by an agent like TheTalent.Net might go to any other 16 year old's head but not this one - she's hardworking, focused and really seems to take it all in her stride. Me like.

More posts to come this week with the release of new images featuring Mark Nichols music and a recent test shoot with 2 gorgeous brunettes...
