model test -retest


Tests are difficult. When you don't know the girl, it's really a pretty hit or miss type of thing. I know, I know. As a photographer, your supposed to be able to handle anything. But it's tough when A: you don't know the model and B: the model has never modeled before and C: the model is around 14.

Thats the typical senario anyway. And as a forigner who has his good and bad days in the local language, it can be sure-as-heck tough to get some of these new models to open up. This is from a retest. The original test was good, but the model agency didn't like the styling. Too dark they said. So this is the retest. Much nicer! But that's mostly because this time the model knew me. We had worked together previously, so the nervousness dissapears quicker. Lovely face.
