What a joyous experience. Gothic Queen was completely normal - no airs and graces. She was punctual, chatty and showed great interest in the shoot. As with most models she had an agenda but unlike most it was entirely for developing and learning as a model, challenging herself and accumulating experiences.
Gothic Queen is, indeed, very much Goth but readily shed all of its trappings to start the shoot. We did not return to 'Goth-mode' at all during her visit which demonstrates her willingness to be flexible, cooperative and adaptable.
A novice madel, maybe, but a pleasure to work with.
