i love working with student designers. their projects are so creative and fun and kooky. this is my second time modeling for a student designer in berlin, and by happenstance, the other model at the shoot also modeled at the other student show i did!
it still boggles my mind that somehow i have met enough people in my short time here that any time i go to a new modeling gig, i'm almost certain to know at least one person there. in a city as big as berlin! that's insane. and it's not even that i've met that many people, it just really is the same few dozen people all ending up in the same places i do. it's so fun!
i'm sure you're all wondering how i did...especially with posing...and i'm happy to report i think i did "not very bad"! the thing about working with student designers is i don't expect very skilled photographers, so i expect i'll be on my own when it comes to posing.
but wow, the designer and photographer were great directors! "chin up a bit, switch arms, strong look to the camera, now look to the side with your face but back at the camera with your eyes," and so on. very helpful!
even if the photos turn out bad, it was enough that i didn't feel like i was floundering in front of the camera, because i trusted them to make the small adjustments to a pose that would make it at least not awful.
perhaps the best part was right before i left the shoot, the designer offered to airdrop all the bts photos and videos she had taken during the shoot. golly gee willikers, that's perhaps the best thing a designer has ever done. there's nothing worse than getting home all jazzed up from a fashion event and completely deflating when you realize you have exactly zero footage on your phone to relive the splendor, and you have to wait until someone else (hopefully) posts something.
so if you need me, i'll be swiping through one hundred photos and videos of me dressed as a pirate until further notice.
