When a startup fashion house in the NE wanted to do a sportswear line they figured the perfect models would be cheerleaders from a nearby liberal arts college known for its elite status (meaning expensive). They would also be cheaper than models from a standard modeling agency. Sure enough the girls were excited to model some great looking outfits and looked great with their lithe, firm, healthy, athletic bodies all trimmed in all the right places so as to not embarrass themselves in those skimpy tight form fitting cheer uniforms. We were particularly attracted to one of the young ladies since she was really caught up with the whole idea of being a “model”. Glenis hung around asking some other questions and since she was so enamored of modeling we mentioned that we had a friend with a very rare exotic car that he wanted some classy pictures with a great model and she might be just perfect as he was going to make up an album for Instagram. She said she was up for it, for sure.
So we met her at his storage facility where the car was stored and brought out one of our standard sporty outfits. She asked “Is this shoot without underwear?” since we did not provide any. We mumbled “it’s traditional” and when we pointed out her underwear did not go with the outfit, she discarded them. We wanted to shoot her while her enthusiasm was at its peak so didn’t mention in advance that the car was a long way from finished and the place it was stored was pretty basic. But what the heck, we still thought the shoot was a success particularly when we worked out some traditional artistic poses as well.
However about an 2 hours into the shoot, she started to complain a) It was cold at night with no underwear. b) the car was in pretty bad shape and c) the location was trashy. d) and the poses seemed pretty trashy too. So we ended the shoot by pointing out “modeling is not all easy street so to speak”. and thought to ourselves “shooting beautiful young girls is not all that easy either”.
Before she left we mentioned that we had a shoot coming up for models for a warrior game and since she was very athletic, she might be a good candidate. Glenis thought that might work out as long as it was modest outfits. Oh, we assured her, the costumes are skimpy and exotic, but not R rated. She was enthusiastic. We tried to mention that the body shots were nude and the costumes added later in post op, but she had already left. We got a call after a week asking when the shoot would start. I don’t think she will object to the nude poses as they will not be shared with anyone but the technicians, designers, executives, sales personnel and a few of our closest photographic colleagues.
