NOW: November 2011, walks the Victoria's Secret show
Now that I've been doing this for awhile, it's sometimes nice to appreciate how I've watched girls evolve through the realities (read brutalities of last minute confirmations, 2 am fittings, casting rejections) of their first runway season into eventual top models. Ieva is a great example. Hope she shares some of her new wealth with me cuz I sure could use a new Hasselblad H4D-50 camera ;))
Coat is Vintage YSL. Imogen had just arrived back in New York after trips to New Zealand and London among other global cities and was on her way to visit a friend when I caught up with her in Soho.
So Friday I did some work at the Lanvin Presentation at Milk Studios and Judith was on her way to a shoot there. Such a nice chance encounter with someone I've known since 2007.
In a world (the fashion world) where people commonly mistake their public image of who they represent with who they really are on the inside, it's always freeing to meet someone who intuitively makes you feel like they know who they truly are on their inside. I've always felt a bit of this authenticity with Karlie which I think this picture displays.
This photo humors me of the first shot I took of Joan back when she was still with Elite Models in early 2008. She was walking down Broadway between Prince and Spring streets. When I asked for her photo she told me I should talk to her booker. Naturally, I snagged a candid shot of her hailing a cab regardless, which actually turned out pretty good. How times have changed since then!
