Photoshoot with Durban photographer Tareen Ellis, she mentioned me on her blog!!!!!
I'm always preaching to aspiring models that given the opportunity to work with a new photographer, always make a good impression. Give the photographer what they're looking for- tense is not cute! besides, you're trying to be sexy yet professional. The more photographers you work with the better your experience and your growth in the modeling industry. Remember photographers always talk about models they've worked with so this could be either good or bad depending on your performance. If you're new to the industry and you're not too sure about posses and expressions, always listen to the photographer, it's always best to practise at home find your best angles this improves your confidence and your photos.
I really enjoyed working with Tareen and I'm humbled by her blog post.

What it takes to be a great model_ photoshoot
I really enjoyed watching this video, it's just basic tips for when you're at a photoshoot. Like during a photoshoot you need to become someone else, flirt with the camera, have fun only worry about getting the best shots- don't be shy! You also need to know your best angles, the photographer might not necessarily know your best angles so practise at home so that you can get as many good shots as possible. It's a waste of time when the photographer is trying to find your best angles, it's also much better working with someone who knows what they're doing. Remember photographers also talk a lot about models they've worked with so if you want to grow in the industry always do your best at a photoshoot, give the photographer what they're looking for and have fun.

Jo-Ann Strauss YOU Magazine makeover
I just read this months issue of the YOU Magazine,model and Top Billing presenter Jo-Ann Strauss is cover girl and this issue focuses on makeovers. I must say I expected all perfect and polished, but she seems so down-to-earth though. Media today just paints celebrities as these perfect beings who obsess over being perfect and everyone wants to be like them. FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! Always be you, enjoy being in your own skin, naturally you is the best you ever because you don't have to keep adjusting yourself. I love how Jo-Ann says, "Everyone has their flaws - you just have to love yourself before others can love you". We all need role models, but we should choose who we let inspire us. You don't want to live a fake life, be true to you, enjoy being you, how sure are you that you'll get a second chance as yourself again? Forget everyone else find you and love you.
This beautiful quote was put up on my FHM profile, it reads, "To make a positive impression, find the qualities that are positive and valuable about every person you meet. What you send is emplified through the lives of others and comes back to you wtihout fail."
Remember that what you put in is what you'll get, if you lead a fake life, you'll attract fake friends and negativity, always be you! I look up to models such as Lerato Moloi,Carol Makhathini and Jo-Ann Strauss the more real you are the more of a positive effect you'll have on people no matter how little the recognition you may get. Fake fades out and you'll eventually get tired of the act, and celebs like this usually become obsolete. Thank you Jo-Ann what a positive outlook on life.
