Diary

Model Diary || TW Magazine.

Its 4am now and I’ve been up since past 2 trying to put together this post. I actually planned to put up an entirely different thing – something more personal and introspective but I lost my self reflective mood somewhere between leaving my house yesterday morning and returning at night (Lagos can do that to you).
So I decided to update my model diary segment and share this shoot I had with TW magazine a while back instead.
I modeled alongside one of my favorite Nigerian models – Uju Nwobodoh, although she did the beauty section, photographer Moussa Moussa and make up artist – Onyinye of Zaron.
Food!

I received a call from the stylist, Favour Olugu (I worked with her in this shoot with mania magazine also) the day before the shoot and I didn’t really ask for details – except of course, finding out the pay.
Somehow, I had expected it to be the usual studio stand, pose, rinse, repeat type of shoot but I got there to find out that I was going to be posing on a bed.
I was a bit scared to be honest because I didn’t want to mess it up but of course I worked on my mind right there and then, to kill this shoot or die trying. Lol

She showed me some examples of what she was going for from some other shoots and it looked pretty sultry.
Side Note – I’m not particularly a sexy person by nature. Its like that tweet I saw the other time that said ‘You can throw a bucket of sexy on me and I wouldn’t know what to do with it’.
Okay, Okay, maybe I’m exagerrating but you get the picture..
As a model, you are expected to be able to portray any role, so I got on that bed and tried to work it!
It didn’t help that the bed was way too short for my length – they probably forgot they had a 6’1 model (again tall girl problems somebody?!) so I couldn’t fully stretch out and had to keep my legs folded in or risk loosing my arms and legs out of the frame.
But hey, I think it came out great! I personally have three favorites from the shoot.
 

– This really sultry all white look where I’m wearing a lace bralet and silk pants from designer – Marvee who I think is really good and just wish she could be more active on social media.

– Its not so much the outfit by designer Nuraniya (which is right up my alley though, those pants are just too comfortable! It reminds me of my harem pants) this time but my pose which I’m really digging.

– This yellow silk slip on dress also by designer Nuraniya (Remember her? I modeled for her debut collection look book shoot here) which is just right for me in every way!

– I’m not too hot about the last picture but I’m going to mention it because im wearing a dress from Grey – I collaborated with them a short while back and you can see that here

There are more pictures though but these are the only ones I could get from the stylist and my favorite ones anyways.

Its 5am now, I should probably get some sleep.

Let me know your thoughts yes?
