Through The Wire - Part 12

Description

I realise I say this each time I submit new work...but - best shoot ever.

I finally got the chance to shoot with my cousin's friend Katie, who lives up the road from me - she hasn't done any modelling before but damn, she learnt quickly.

We went downtown to find an outfit this morning at 11 and ended up at this dress shop next to Gloria Jean's, where this old lady was working. And after hearing that Katie was only 13, got all Judgey-Judge on me and did all but insinuate I was some child predator...or Bill Henson. "13 - she isn't even fully developed, there's nothing there to hold the dress up or satisfy you - I don't think photographing her will help get you any work."

It's so stupid because high-fashion is about selling a garment, not giving men something to stare at. And it's not like I'm promoting the things the fashion world promotes - eating disorders, addictions etc.

So she picked out this mini-skirt and revealing top, because that's what children wear. Ironic, I know. We soon moved on, repeating what she said because, well, it was amusing.

We tried a lot of shops, many of them were too expensive, but we eventually found an outfit - everything you see here (including the shoes) for under $60. I don't think she looks like a prostitute, but I'm sure that old lady would disagree.

Moving on. Hair, make-up and styling by Rebecca & I. I'm really into David Poata's stuff at the moment. He is an Australian fashion photographer - take a look at his editorial work and you'll see how I was influenced. I want to be where he is (professionally) in 10 years. :P
