You might find it hard to believe that the person in these photos had no previous modelling experience, but it’s true. A little nervous and seemingly unaware of her natural beauty, Aimee was keen to ‘give it a try’ and that was all I needed to create these stunning portrait images of her.
I’d been contacted by a potential client hoping to work with a local photographer, who requested to see some recent portrait work. You may know that I’ve struggled to find suitable people on Guernsey to photograph, so I didn’t have much relevant work to show them. Let me be clear that I believe the island is packed-full of suitable subjects, I just haven’t been able to convince many to the point that they would be willing to try. With time running out, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Aimee, who agreed to pose for me in exchange for copies of the final images.
I knew as soon as I met her, Aimee would be great and although she wasn’t totally convinced herself, she posed with confidence, followed direction perfectly and was in every respect a true model. We even took some time to freestyle, where she could pose as she liked, resulting in some beautiful more natural style photographs.
Working first on the demonstration shots that I needed, we later moved on through a costume change and used some different jewellery that Aimee had brought along. She also had a bag full of stunning clothes and I wish we’d have worked on more variation, but I didn’t want this first session in my somewhat-cramped ‘studio’ to be too tiring for her. I’m sure she would have been happy to continue, but we wrapped things up after a couple of hours having achieved our objective for the shoot.
This is definitely not the last you’ll see of Aimee. I really enjoyed working with her and the results speak for themselves. I believe we’ll be able to produce some truly outstanding work together in future. She’s interested in doing more and I’m certainly looking forward to our next project.
I know you’ll agree that Aimee looks stunning in these photos. Would you guess she wasn’t an experienced model if I hadn’t told you? If you’d like to be photographed like Aimee, you simply need to have the confidence to give it a try. I’ll guide you through every step of the process and your comfort and enjoyment will always be my primary concern. You’re allowed to be a little nervous and unsure of yourself at the beginning because I know you’ll leave brimming with confidence. Please get in touch if you’d like to be photographed - I’m always looking for people to work with.
