04:26actually this is the boring part of my job
04:31nobody tells you that photography is mostly just cleaning up people's clothes
04:40the glamour just comes later
04:44okay down here as well
04:49okay you smell kind of nice by the way i mean that is a normal thing to say to a
04:56model it's professional
04:59okay you're almost done just need to fix your color
05:05no matter otherwise i will hate myself while i have to edit these photos okay
05:14wait can i can i get into your hair just a little bit yeah
05:19Okay. It's just a little. Wait, this way? No, how does it fall naturally?
05:33Sorry, my hands are cold. They're always cold. My mother says it means something good,
05:38but she says that about everything. You're very patient with me.
05:47Usually people just aren't that patient. They take their phones all the time and ask how long it takes.
05:54You didn't even ask once.
06:00Okay, this one piece right here just keeps falling down, right?
06:07Okay, I'm leaving and it looks better like that anyway.
06:09I mean, messy is good on camera, usually. Don't touch it. I saw that.
06:20Okay, back to work. Okay, again, look at the camera, please.
06:28Okay, let's see what's going on in the face.
06:43Wow, this is just not fair. Are you sure you never did this before?
06:49Never. I mean, the camera just loves you. It just really loves you.
06:58I mean, usually I pay with people who pay me for this and they don't look like you.
07:06Okay, now turn to the window, please. Yes, there.
07:12Chin a little bit more down now. Okay.
07:16The light is so soft in the evening. That is a good thing about this apartment.
07:21I mean, the heating is broken and the neighbors sing at night very loudly.
07:26But the light, the light makes it all worth it.
07:33Okay, so come look at the screen.
07:38What do you think? What do you think? This one? Yeah.
07:46No, really.
07:50Yeah, I told you. I told you you are definitely photogenic.
08:01I mean, it's kind of unfair. My model cancelled last minute and I got someone who's even better.
08:09Don't tell him that. But no, actually, please tell him. Because he cancelled. It was not the first time
08:16he cancelled on me last month. He told me it was his cousin's wedding. I mean, he has a lot
08:23of cousins
08:23apparently. Every month there's like a new cousin. Yeah.
08:29What do you think? What do you think of this one?
08:37You don't like your smile. Everybody says that. Everybody always says that they hate their own smile, but
08:45you're wrong. You need to trust your photographer on that one. But maybe I will just keep that photo for
08:52myself.
08:54Okay, wait. Turn around a little bit more now. I'm gonna fix your collar again.
09:04Something on your shoulders again. Perfect. Okay, stay like that.
09:14Okay, wow.
09:19Got it. I mean, you're making my job almost too easy.
09:24All you want to know what these are for? It's actually going to be a small exhibition. It's going to
09:31be 12 portraits of 12 strangers.
09:35Yeah, there's this tiny room above a bar. Wine. Bad wine. And worse light, but it's mine. It's a little
09:46like gallery space.
09:49Yeah, it has my name on the door and everything. And you are actually number eight.
09:55Yeah, number eight is the best spot, right? I mean, it's right there in the middle. Everybody stops there.
10:03Okay, so don't move now. Chin down again. There you go.
10:10Okay, wow. I think that by right now and then was number eight.
10:19Can I be honest with you? I mean, I feel like I'm doing this shot like shoot really badly.
10:28Like really, really badly. I mean, I keep looking at you and forgetting my settings.
10:38Like that almost never happens to me.
10:43I mean, I've been doing this for six years now and you are distracting me.
10:49In a good way. In a good way, of course. A very good way.
10:54Okay, I said it.
10:56Okay, now please, you say something because otherwise I'm going to keep talking.
11:00I think it's going to get worse and worse. It always gets worse.
11:05You're not saying anything. You're just smiling at me. That is not helping.
11:11That is really not helping.
11:16Don't look at me like that. I will get shy, okay? Back to work.
11:22Even though I just said I got it. I'm not 100% sure, so I need to have some last
11:30photos, okay?
11:35Right into the lens. Don't smile.
11:37Don't smile. Okay, no, maybe smile a little bit. Just maybe just smile with your eyes. Yes.
11:46Perfect. Hold it.
11:54Just going to look at them.
12:00I think that's the one. That's my favorite actually.
12:06You want to look?
12:09No, I actually don't. I'm keeping that one for me.
12:13Maybe not for the wall. Not for the exhibition, just for me.
12:20Yeah, there's a difference and I'm not going to explain it to you.
12:26Stop asking.
12:29I mean, you're not even asking. I'm just saying stop.
12:34Okay, so I really need your number now.
12:38Yeah, your phone number to send you the photos.
12:42Yeah, of course, only for the photos. Okay.
12:47Yeah, you can give it to me. I will type it in.
12:53Slowly. Wait, got that wrong. Say it again.
13:01Okay, perfect. I have it.
13:05Now you can run away from me.
13:07And I'm saving you under a special name.
13:11Which you're never going to find out.
13:16No, it's going to be.
13:22Okay, wait. I will just call you real quick.
13:26Or text you, please. I'm going to text you.
13:31So you have my number too.
13:33In case I ghost you and never send you the pictures.
13:36Or any information about the exhibition.
13:40But I think I'm going to be editing them tonight.
13:44Like probably and I will send them.
13:47I don't know.
13:48I usually work best at like 3am or something.
13:52Yeah, it's a problem.
13:57But listen, I do have some other projects going on.
14:03And maybe we can stay in contact for that as well.
14:06Because you were incredible.
14:08And I do have some jobs coming up.
14:11Where I could definitely need such a good model as you are.
14:20And I could try to get a little bit more comfortable chair for you.
14:29Perfect.
14:30And I will text you also the information about the exhibition.
14:33I mean, I still need 4 people.
14:38But still, I think it's going to be, I don't know, maybe in a few months.
14:44Let's see.
14:46Okay, good.
14:48Thank you so much for helping me out today.
14:50And I will see you soon.
14:52Or I will hope to see you soon.
14:57Okay, good.
14:59Until then, bye bye.
15:02Have a great day.
