A model's diary by Brogan
An early start had commenced and everyone seemed enthusiastic and excited as the rest of the models and I went into hair and make-up. Instantly I knew the team at UK Kolours clicked as they cracked jokes together. I felt nervous, as it was my first professional photoshoot for an up and coming company. Luckily however both my boyfriend and I were involved in the shoot which made things easier.
The other four models were relaxed and easy to get on with as we talked, laughed and joked around together. There was a really friendly atmosphere as the preparations continued. It definitely helped that we had all met the day before the shoot to get to know each other and the UK Kolours team, so we all knew who we would be working with before the day of the shoot. Although our ages were not exactly the same, Rosie, Abby, Sam, Tom and I were all in the same boat. All of us wanted to produce the best photos for UK Kolours, and reach our full potential.
Hair and make-up took a while but no one seemed to mind about getting pampered! Clare, Marta and Aga did an excellent job. The team knew the look they wanted to achieve but other options were taken in consideration. I loved the clothing we were modelling which was from brands such as Hollister, American Eagle Outfitters, Aeropostale, Ralph Lauren and Havaianas.
A couple of hours later, when the stylists had finished, we headed into St. Albans town centre for the first part of the photoshoot - summer. It wasn't the best weather but no surprise there as this is England! We all bared the cold and enjoyed a great start to the day. Karen, the photographer, had designed each setting but we were advised to incorporate our own ideas into the pictures.
Shoot number two - autumn was underway faster than summer; mainly as we all knew the plan of action. Back for hair and make-up, outfits change and grab a bite to eat. We were racing against the clock! The energy of the team gave me the adrenaline rush and boost of confidence to get the photos the UKK team needed for the campaign.
For ordinary people the change of seasons happens during the course of a year whereas for this particular modelling job, we adapted summer, autumn and Winter in under 24-hours. I'm not embarrassed to admit, it was a challenge, orientating myself for each shoot. Thankfully, the weather cleared up as the day continued. It was eventful however, walking around St. Albans town in the afternoon sunshine whilst wearing fur foodies and big coats. There were a few odd looks heading our way!
Overall, the day was such a good experience and I think it was the UKK team that made it that bit more special. Everyone just seemed to fit, like a puzzle. I would happily do a shoot again for UK Kolours as it was just so fun and enjoyable. There was no pressure on us as models, everything was just simply and laid back. The best way to start off a modelling career is working with such talented people and I'm lucky I had the opportunity.
