New model Bertrie

As mentioned before, most of the time we are looking for new talent, normally this means we will shoot 1-2 models each month via so called “test sessions”, small bare bones 1 hour sessions (sometimes 2) in which we try several things but keep everything really simple. From the models we shoot maybe 10% will also end up working for the studio for the workshops or assignments.


In this blogpost I like to introduce Bertrie.
She will be doing some workshops in the near future so watch out for more images from this beauty from Leeuwarden.

Last week she visited our studio for a testshoot and I can say that she blew me away (and I think she also blew away herself seeing her responses to the images :D), I will be working more with Manon in the future as you can imagine and I will start using her for the workshops in the new agenda… so expect a lot more from this fellow “Emmeloorder” 😀
