My grandmother used to say “You have to suffer to be beautiful”. I often think of that as also being a little true for photoshoots. You get out of it what you are willing to put into it both as a photographer and “model”. Ciara was ALL IN! She arrived perfectly put together with her gorgeous hair full of bouncy curls and make-up “on point”. We got one outfit in before it started to rain. She was an absolute trooper and went on with the shoot and was luckily prepared with some good boots to get to a rather muddy (but totally worthwhile) location. Her curls may not have completely survived, but I love the untamed version it resulted in for the more “wild” location, especially in contrast to the beginning outfit. It changed the whole mood of the photos…Happy Accident!
