Shoot with HAMILTON for SOON magazine

I can't believe it but I actually booked it! Went to see the world famous photographer himself and at this point the choice was already narrowed down to me and two other girls (both Russian)

We started of by meeting mr. Hamilton and just talking for a while. He would look through our pictures, ask some questions and show us some of his pictures which are of course well known to the world already.

The other girl arrived first so she was he first one to go upstairs to take some pictures.
When she was done it was my turn to go up and undress (search for David Hamilton and you will quickly realize that he is a nude photographer)
When meeting someone you would think being completely naked would make it uncomfortable and nerve-racking but it wasn't at all. We both managed to make it a relaxed chat which included some old stories from when he was in Denmark, drinking with the Swedish king, pictures of a young Mick Jagger (Hamilton is 80 years old now) and different cities in home country which he knew quite well dispute of the size of them.
He took some pictures and when he was done he asked me to wait downstairs so that we could talk some more.
Got dressed, went down and to my surprise found out that the first Russian girl had left. But since David had asked me to wait, so did I.
After he had met the last girl he came downstairs, we all talked for a little bit and then he asked for my number, which I put in his phone myself. He kindly said goodbye and stated that we should stay in touch and have lunch sometime.

Leaving the place I still wasn't sure about weather or not I would get the job cause when it came out that the third girl had been a dancer for 13 years (including ballet) he also took her number. To take the picture he had in mind one was supposed to preform a very artistic "jump".

In the end we both left and I went back to my agency. When I arrived they had just been on the phone with the people from the casting saying that they liked me but I wasn't confirmed for the job yet because of some complications.

Tried not to think more of it and went to work at Abercrombie. While I was there I received a phone call from my agency telling me that I booked it!

I booked the shooting with David Hamilton for Soon Magazine!

So on the 28th of March I will be going to the south of France to take the pictures.
This is such a big deal I can't even believe it! I'm very much looking forward to it and of course I will be updating so that you can all see what's going on "backstage".
