Tatler 'BANDS' shoot

Wednesday 4th August

Another Tatler magazine shoot! I was assisting Tanya Chianale for the second time, she is really laid back, easy to get along with, and a pleasure to work with. Hannah Shaw from IMG was the only model, we have a mutual friend, and I've met her a few times before. She's lovely, and it's always nice when there's a familiar face. And a beautiful one at that!

There were five bands participating in the shoot- Widower, O Children (how tall is that guy!!!), Oe Est Le Swimming Pool, Soho Dolls, and The Coolness (debatable, but pure comedy!). I had never actually heard of any of these, so I must be a bit out of touch! Hannah was shot with each band, modelling uber nice clothes, I was very jealous! Wasn't too jealous about the grey Granny wig they put her in though, lol!

To top of an already great day, the photographer, Iain Mckell, has asked me to model for him for a book project he is doing, so looking forward to that!

Tatler Magazine

Wednesday 28th July

Second job for DW Management, assisting on a main fashion shoot for Tatler. Not only was I assisting Tanya Chianale with make-up, I was also helping out with the hair (eek!), assisting Robin Pawloski. The agency hadn't been able to get hold of anyone to assist him, so it was down to me. I have finally got the hang of curling hair for pin curls, despite burning my fingers several times along the way- ouch!!! Ha ha, I'll be a pro before you know it!

It was a very long shoot (over 12 hours), but with it being shot on location (by Luis Monteiro), there was a lot of things to be taken in to consideration. We were on a boat travelling up and down the Thames to various locations. We had to keep going round in circles to wait for the sun to come out, and it was windy so the hair kept blowing about and not looking right. But the models were troopers, giving it 110% all day. They were like Duracell bunnies, lol!

And I was very proud of myself for not being sick overboard, so a great day was had by all!
