Your Average Model Friday

This past Friday, Audrie, one of my website clients, asked me and my friend Yuki to model for her store's new YouTube commercial. Please excuse the picture quality - these were taken by my GF using my new iPhone. I'm very surprised by the quality of the pictures actually. Come on Apple.


Honestly, I'm not good in front of a camera. I'm a behind-the-scenes kinda girl. I've set up photoshoots for clients in the past and I enjoy that but Friday night, I was really on the spot. I don't even know how to pose!


Can't you tell? I look a little awkward. I never mastered the "Myspace Angles" as my sister calls them. Yuki, on the other hand, was so natural when it came to posing and attitude even though she prefers to work behind the lens.


It was a lot of fun, though. I loved putting together the outfits. Audrie carries a very interesting mix of styles but the overall feel is very urban chic. She refers to the local designers more as artisans.


A lot of the the clothing s one-of-a-kind or limited run which is reflected in the store's name: ONLi - Original None Like it. Because of this, Audrie wants to update the commercial and the pictures on the website monthly. I can't believe she wants me back on lol. I guess I'm gonna have to watch a little America's Next Top Model. Something about smiling with your eyes...



I'll post the commercial as soon as its ready to view and if you wanna check out my mad website skillz: www.ONLi1.com
