SPOILER!!: Selena

The first thing Colt felt like yelling was 'RELAX!' but of course he refrained himself. Not because of pity or any emotional reason like that, but because he understood people. And this girl was giving offwaves of nervousness that would only be further enhanced if he were to say anything. So for this reason he let her be and he instead moved around constantly in an attempt to get better shots.

The good thing was that towards the end it seemed she finally let loose a bit.

Click.Click.Click. The sounds of his camera were all he heard. Of course he was aware of some person standing nearby but the professional in him refused to acknowledge 'it' until he was finished.

Which in 15 more shots was exactly what he was.
"And that's a wrap." With a sweep of his wand the shelf disappeared and the curtains brightened to pink again and the disco ball stopped its rotations. Conjuring a small stool, he motioned for her to sit and made his way to his dark room/ tent.

In less than 7 minutes he was back with a black portfolio in hand. Kneeling down so he was eye level with her, he decided to give it to her straight.
"Listen Selena, I am not here to lie to you or to make you feel good about yourself. I'm here to be honest and criticize. That is what I do." Opening the folder he showed her 5 different shots of her, three oh which consisted of headshots. He brought the first full body one forward.

With his finger he lead her eyes to the way she was holding her arms, and the slight stoop of her shoulders. "Look here, your entire posture tells me, and tells whoever sees this picture that you are not sure of yourself. That you don't trust yourself. That alone makes this picture wrong." Pausing for a second he gave an exasperated sigh and continued.

" Now yes I admit there are some people that are just purely physical beauty but I will tell you now that those are few and rare and there are very few photographers who like working with them due to their egos." Oh Merlin those EGOS! " But most are people who are striking, who are normal but beautiful, who appeal to everyone. People who know how to present themselves. Tell me, how can the world think your beautiful if yourself don't?"

Flipping to the picture he'd taken at the end of the runway he continued hoping she knew that was a rhetorical question that she was supposed to think of on her own time. "Now here," he said a bit triumphantly."Here you let go a bit. Notice your back, notice the way your hands arn't clutched at your sides and the way you are letting them move with your body. The crane of your neck isn't stiff, more natural."

Flipping to the three headshots he spread them out in front of her. "And here this one at the beginning you were blinking too much, slightly holding your breath probably unconsciously. You can tell by the rise of your shoulders as you held that breath. ALL that can be conveyed in one photograph." His finger this time poked the second headshot the one he personally liked the most.
"Here your eyes were wide, alert, saying 'So what this is me.' your mind was somewhere else and your body reacted naturally." The picture depicted a very good profile shot where indeed the focal point was the depth of her eyes.Making her look like a different person. Not the shy little girl the others showed. "This is a shot you should save. Something you should look at often to remind yourself how self esteem is important."

Pointing to the final shot now that was more a side of face and hair picture he brought it up closer to her face.
"Now this picture I took it for a specific reason. Although your hair I must admit needs a bit of taming and quite frankly a bit of blush would do you good, the overall raw material is quite good and you do have strong cheekbones.Notice in this picture where your hair falls away you actually look quite striking. My advice..." he paused for a second wondering if she wanted it and then thought well of course she did."Is to buy yourself some nice hair clips. It will enhance your good features."

Realizing that he'd pretty much said everything that he could say he got to his feet again. "Evolette is right at the booth and will surely answer any questions you have. And remember...confidence!"

SPOILER!!: 1st male model XD

Turning finally to his little shadow throughout the whole procedure he raised one heavy eyebrow. "Will you be taking a run as well?"

SPOILER!!: Selena Quote: Originally Posted by xiiWishiWasYours Selena was completely nervous. Her nails were done in a pretty shade of blue and the photographer had gave a laugh at her. Okay.

So Selena took a deep breath and walked, doing the pose, covering her face just the slightest, but so that her purple eyes peeked out from behind her hands. She walked a bit hestantly before calming herself down. 'You can do this!!' Selena told herself mentally. Gosh that sounded terrible. She walked and paused at the shelf filled with the different nail polishes and turned left, then right a bit slowly before continuing her walk and turned her head left. Then right. And continued to walk as she turned her head. Modeling sure was hard work... how did they make it seem so natural?

It just seems sorta cool. You know. The coolness..AND the money. "Hmm....who would of thought the Cootie Lady would become a model?" Grinning as he asked this Legend held out his hand. He was NO LONGER a believer in cooties. Except for...you know that ONE person. "Nice you see you again Lette. I hope you become the most famous and talked about model ever....you know...before you get old." And now it was time to see that photographer dude! Making his way over slowly Legend couldn't help feel sorry for the guy. First he had a line up of people wanting to act the models and THEN he had to deal with the stuck up girls. Torture. He was GOING to tap the guy on the shoulder but...he didnt want to tigger some random photographer meltdown soo he just waited patiently (yes there was a first time for everything), at the photographers side.
