“Okay, I thought we could start with a couple of pictures of you sitting and then standing,” Eddie said, picking up the camera as Leanne guided Nicola on to the chair. She seated herself, and Eddie started snapping, pausing only to check the last few shots, before moving to another angle.
“Keep moving,” he suggested, “Rest your hands on your head. Pose however you feel comfortable.”
Nicola did really well, moving to a standing pose, resting on the chair, then Eddie took numerous shots of her standing in front of a backdrop and then finally seated in some black silk cushions.
“Fantastic,” he said when he’d finally finished. “I’ll go upload these to my PC and then shout you over for a look.”
“I enjoyed that,” Nicola said quietly in my ear as he left us, which surprised me but made me happy too.
Leanne told Nicola that she’d done a great job, and led us back in to the changing rooms for Nicola to get changed back in to her own clothes, leaving us alone for a moment.
“You were like a proper model,” I said honestly, “You really seemed to get into it.”
