| The model calling cards for casting |
 |
| Maya stood out as special. I had cast Maya earlier the previous week and was pleased we had been given a First provisional by Models One for the 3rd July. This is my casting shot of her in CSM reception! |
 |
Models One sent me 3 other girls with First provisionals to cast on the first day the course. The student Art Directors agreed with me that Maya should be used though not able to get to this casting. It was also the students decision which 2nd model we used for the shoot. Manna the West Indian model above was the unanimous choice. I then confirmed with their agency that we would like Maya and Manna for our shoot and sent the model agency the shoot call sheet. It is normal practice to provide lunch for the Models on shoot days and is part of their contract. |

| Laura's Model casting shot for meeting The Location Recce The CSM Granary Building roof terrace here was to be used for the first 3 hours of our Thursday shoot. The weather forecast was good - a big relief! We had the back up of the St Martins Photographic studios should it rain. Elle Magazine has previously used the roof terrace at CSM last year for a fashion shoot. |
