Elena is wearing a white costume.
The upper body is a vest with delicate shoulders, and the lower body is a long flowing tulle skirt. A slit cut from the waist can just expose the graceful legs.
The silver decorations around the waist and under the round neck make the whole outfit harmonious and low-key luxury. And the little coat she carried in her hand had the style of the 1950s and 1960s, whether it was draped on her shoulders or carried in her hands, it fits perfectly with the theme of the entire series.
This one is not the main one in the whole series, but in Janet's eyes it seems to be even better than she imagined, as if something had been added.
After thinking about it for a moment, she understood that the reason why Laila wanted Elena to make a brochure was here! The dark chocolate skin makes the white dress alive, and the retro red lips and the charming smoky makeup lighten the charm of Elena's own.
"Mom, do you think it's okay?" Laila walked to her mother with a smile.
"Great!" Janet grabbed her hand excitedly "My dear, your eyes are correct. This is the effect I hope to have! I can't wait to see it appear in the brochure. !"
Laila smiled and nodded "That's good, I will finish my work now." After she said that, she walked to the photography position and picked up the camera to start debugging.
In her previous life, she only knew a little bit about photography, but she came to this world to learn more about it and received it from the memory of young Laila.
Being sick all the year round makes little Laila cherish the opportunity to go out for activities. So she learned to shoot and collect as many scenery as possible. In this way, she will have enough things to appreciate after illness and hospitalization.
The Leica camera in her hand was a gift that Janet gave to her on her birthday last year. It was with this camera that she was able to help her mother to take the highly acclaimed brochure last year.
Elena walked to the background under Laila's instructions.
It was the first time that she saw such strange patterns in the background. Coming from a poor place, she has not received much education, and her knowledge of ink painting is only the word "Chinese Brush Painting".
But she obviously should be as incomprehensible as looking at those oil paintings, and she feels that the simple colors seem to contain a lot of things, there is a calm soul charm, people will calm down when they look at it, as if they have seen the whole world.
"Elena, give me a smile." Laila said to her while holding the camera.
Elena took a deep breath and made the smile she had practiced countless times in the mirror.
"Okay, move. Raise your skirt and hair." In the following time, Elena made various movements under the instructions of Laila, and also changed her clothes several times. When all the work is done, she is too tired to stand up. Tension accelerated her fatigue and made many of her expressions unnatural. In order to get the best results, many shots can only be shot again and again.
In fact, Laila also gave her time to rest in the middle of the way, but she felt that she was not professional enough to delay the time for so long, and if she wrinkled her clothes during the rest, or spent time wasting makeup There will be more, so she insisted on taking all the photos before going to rest.
Compared to the jumping models, Laila's job is just better for taking pictures with the camera. She is also a person who concentrates on working, just like when she was a director, she has an aura of inability to be disturbed by others, even if other people are really tired, she dare not say anything.
So a workaholic who strives to do her job well, she completed the photos needed for the entire brochure in one day.
After the photos come out, you still need to select dozens of photos from hundreds to thousands and put them in the brochure. When Laila held the final shot in front of her mother two days later, Janet and her assistant Phoebe exclaimed.
"It's so beautiful!" Phoebe held her heart in disbelief, and couldn't believe that the clothes on the model above were from the design she had read countless times.
Janet also looked at one by one with her eyes gleaming, as if she didn't seem to be enough.
She feels that using a beautiful word to describe these photos is a kind of blasphemy, and it is more appropriate to call them "artwork" or "treasure".
"My dear, I really don't know how to say it. You did a great job! These should be put in the museum for collection!"
Janet's words made Laila laugh "Mom, if this is a thousand years ago, That's worthy of being put in the museum's collection." She is also satisfied with these photos, but they are not as exaggerated as her mother said.
"In my opinion, even after a thousand years, there will be no such effect." Janet hugged her and kissed her forehead twice "My daughter is a genius who will only appear in a thousand years! "
Lila couldn't laugh or cry until she turned off the lip print on her forehead with the back of her hand "Elena is a very talented model." She took out one of the photos and placed it on the table.
The eyes of Elena in the photo are slightly closed, and her chin is slightly retracted, making her look as if she is meditating. The chocolate-colored skin makes her black and white clothing look noble and luxurious, but not vulgar.
"She can do all the movements I need to do very well. Although she was a little nervous at the beginning, but fortunately she got used to it quickly, and she did a good job in the subsequent coordination.
Janet looked at the photo with satisfaction "Yes, she did a lot better than I thought. I will remember to wrap her a red envelope later." She said to Phoebe in the last sentence. There was a mother from the East who made her very accustomed to rewarding others by "giving red envelopes".
"Okay." Phoebe smiled and wrote down her words.
Janet looked at those photos, and the more she looked at them, the more she felt her love "Phoebe, what do you think?"
Phoebe smiled "Of course it's great! I think it's hard for those photographers to take photos with such feeling. Looking at these, I really want to buy the clothes above."
Janet smiled happily, her words were almost in her heart. Isn't it the original intention of making the brochure to make people who see the brochure want to buy the clothes on it? She thinks that the Moran black and white retro style she brought in this fashion week may lead the fashion of next year.
"My dear, you did a great job." She shook Laila's hand. "As a reward for you, let's talk, what wish I can do for you? Did you still like the last diamond? Some good pearls have come in a few days, so let me design another set for you."
"No! I made this for my dear mother. Do I still need a reward?" Laila had no idea about jewelry or anything. She don't care, she usually don't bother to carry it with her. "Well, just ask the beautiful lady Janet to treat me to a delicious meal."
Janet squeezed her cheek lovingly "Okay! I'll take you to eat the most famous Italian food here."
