Elizabeth March, a clothing company in London, contacted Talent Management Agency at the beginning of the year looking for a female in her 30s/40s to model their couture collection.
The client chose our auburn-haired model Sonia Guzzo-Leach for the photo shoot, which took place late February in Bushey Studios, London. We can finally share with you the final shots of our pretty 45-year-old model in action on the day.
Sonia told us, “The day was amazing! It all went smoothly and the outfits and look were perfect. The designer and her team were fantastic and I felt completely at ease. I was a little nervous beforehand but it all came naturally once I was in front of the camera.”
From the photos it certainly looks like Sonia had a great time on the assignment “The most amazing experience was wearing ‘a million dollar babe’ outfits and posing in front of the camera. The assignment involved hair and make up and clothes modelling (changing into about 18 outfits overall). I was simply required to pose in many ways – and as I was relaxed and knew what I was doing it worked well. It was clear to me the mood that the designer had in mind so I worked according to that, checking myself in the mirror in different outfits to understand what poses would enhance the look of it. I suppose now that I realised how natural it comes to me to pose and model.”
The photo above has to be our favourite shot and outfit from the assignment – we think Sonia looks stylish and elegant and it would be a perfect look for a wedding or even a day at the races!
Sonia also gave some wise words of advice to other models following her assignment, “I would recommend it of course. It’s a fun experience, a confidence booster and perfect for someone that works part-time and in a related industry. It is a good idea to be represented by an agency; in fact it’s the only way to get some work if you are serious about modelling or related assignments. I will be more active and proactive in pursuing work and uploading and updating my portfolio, as I felt greatly encouraged by this assignment today.”
