Tenille is down to the last twenty from over a thousand hopefuls in the FHM 2012 model search competition. Two weeks ago I was introduced to her by fellow photographer and friend, Bron Fourie from VanillaPhotography. Having taken a few snaps of her indoors, I really wanted to set up a beach shoot to make the most of her beautiful beachy blond looks and incredible bikini body. I went for a slightly heavier make-up than the week before, this time applying my fake eyelashes from the Girls Aloud range that I acquired a few months back in London. Someone recently messaged me asking what foundation I use for my models and without fail I used Kryolan – the professional make-up brand. It provides perfect coverage, blends brilliantly and doesn’t budge. Be sure to apply a solid setting powder on top though!
We headed to the Umhlanga beach front for the shoot at about 5 pm. Kierran Allen from Ocean Drive Media joined - always great to meet and work with professional photographers and work as a team so everyone involved gets great shots. From this shoot I wanted to capture a perfectly simple shot – nice lighting, simple positions, little distraction. I’m so inspired at the moment by the simplicity of black and white portraits like the Calvin Klein ads where the model does the talking – hopefully I’m on the right track with these!
