Testing with Adesuwa


Simple Drama...it's when my model shows up and i instantly love their personal style. Usually most fashion models have their own identity and it reflects in their style of dress. While out in Long beach rebuilding my book I finally got the opportunity to work with Adesuwa Pariyapasirt again after like 5 years. Adesuwa has always had this really "cool" style to me so before we placed her in all these designers clothes I wanted to capture the "I don't give a **beep**" attitude she has. She wore this rugged but simple outfit and behind the studio is barb wire and construction material so it was perfect...no such thing as coincidence. I think of it as simple drama because her wardrobe is her own and is relatively simple but the makeup by Victoria is dramatic...they just compliment each other. I love test shoots like this because they allow the model to be themselves...much more than just a hanger.
