I first meet Natascha when I was shooting the finalist for the Face of OPA and I asked her if she was interested in testing with me. When I test/train a model I like to shoot them with natural light, no hair or Make-up and plain clothing. It’s easier for the model if they have amazing hair & make-up and to die for styling to look awesome so I make it as hard as I can. Then I look for the models insecurities and then push them as hard as I can. Just like breaking in a horse. It might sound really bad but once I break them they pose by feel rather than sticking a posed face on. BTW Natasha’s insecurity is messy hair in her face 🙂

I’d like to know more about your “testing process”, how you spot insecurity from your model and how you work on it.
Incredible eyes! Great series.
