Late April, 2006. I arrive early for rendez-vous with Patti. Find myself in the middle of a Lisbon Fashion Week event.
(1)Here are our 2 friends from last week, this time the full pic revealed! A bunch of models hired to promote the sponsors' products. Had a nice cup of tea or two. No rental car for the weekend, though.
(2)I didn't quite see the connection between the flamenco lady dressed up for the sevillanas & the tea..
The catwalk was set up inside the covered section of the market, by inviatation only. As I've had enough of those in Paris, was I bovvered? But the hairdressing was done outside under the trees. It was getting dark, which was a bit too much for my camera, as I was trying to be discreet. I was fascinated by the hairdresser's hands - the longest fingers I've ever seen. Shame I couldn't manage it in focus.
This was the star moment. How often do I get to shoot a pro model? She happened to notice the camera & couldn't resist striking the pose instantly, just for me!
Now I understand...and did these lovely ladies manage to sell you their wares???? The hairdresser really does have long fingers. Thanks for your support both personally and for the Clatteridge Campaign.

Finally the "odalisca" makes some sense... Great pictures, I especially like the tea girl, although I prefer the Azores real tea to Lipton's powder bags. Unfortunately, they're not good at this kind of advertising...
ReplyDeleteGreat series - the colors are great.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures as always. Love the model posing for you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun job for the photographer. Cute model in the final shot. Great colors.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours in the pics lucky that she smiled just for you.
ReplyDeleteWell I am back from Holland it was a good time but I went over for my uncles funeral.

How very strange, everybody.
ReplyDeleteI distinctly remember replying to every point raised two days ago.
So where is MY comment?
I must check my inbox to find it. Not happy, but in view of everything going on, I think you can excuse me and my pet blogger this time. Sincere sorries.
Tu fais de très beaux portraits de personnages aussi Pas seulement d'oiseaux Et comme il doit être agréable de recevoir le sourire des yeux et des lèvres de ces jolies jeunes femmes au teint mat
ReplyDeleteAha, these pics are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCostumes, smiles, colours and such a great atmosphere!
