My day with Metropolitan - The photo shoot

On request  I will be going a little more into details about what happened at Metropolitan.

Before I left the agency I had to get some pictures taken. The photographer was just the nicest person! Since I have pretty much no experience he was really kind on helping me, commenting what to do and what to think of when going to a casting. He gave so many helpful tips such as how to put your hair up, were to position hands and arms when taking a picture, and much much more. Not only were he very helpful, he was also very good at making you feel comfortable. After all, standing in your underwear might not be the most natural thing for a lot of people.

Once the pictures were taken we continued on to making the introduction video. I was asked to tell some basic things about my self and then walk around, turn, smile, flip my hair and what not. This was by far the hardest thing to accomplish. Remembering what to say, when to say it, how to move and keeping track of basically every little detail of your body. Now, while doing this you of course need to look smiling and confident.
We did this three times before I got it right and there is definitely room for improvement! But hey, it was my first time doing this and I think I managed to get through it pretty well.
