This material was written before the New Year. Then they called from the magazine and asked not to publish any photos until the issue was published. The photo of the model girl should have been on the cover, and in their world it is very important that no one sees the cover ahead of time ... :)
I agreed, it’s not difficult for me :)
Now the issue has already been released and I return the publication with a clear conscience :)
What the result looks like in the print edition can be seen at the end of the post :)

We went yesterday to help filming for SNC magazine.
Juanitka and I once were in this magazine, they needed a black oriental cat to advertise jewelry.
Now there was a story where the model was shot in different clothes of expensive brands, in one or two frames oriental cats could appear.
Compositionally needed someone redhead and you, of course, understand who we were lucky :)
Unfamiliar surroundings, people, and also standing in traffic jams of children, of course, brought.
The cat is somehow more or less, but Lyalechka was fussing a lot.
They did not attempt to escape, but they tried to dig in somewhere constantly.
They covered them with a familiar home blanket and let it calm down for half an hour.
They asked to keep the door to the studio closed, of course ...)))
It is interesting to observe from the side what the fashion shoot looks like :)
On some kind of ropes and sticks, on tape and strings a background is attached, which then looks gorgeous in the frame ... :))
The makeup artist combes the model, a group of comrades carefully watches, and around - a terrible mess, tending to chaos :))
Immediately there is a separate table on which diamonds in boxes of unimaginable beauty and value stand and a guard sits ...
I didn’t take larger photographs of the diamonds, the guard looked so that it was scary to turn his head in that direction :)
When the issue comes out (in March), it may be possible to examine the decorations in the better photos in the magazine :)
When the model is dressed and combed, and all the decorations on the tape are already glued, the actual shooting begins ...
Looking at the shoot is very interesting and you know what I understood in the process?
The work of a good model: a. very difficult; b. requires high professionalism; at. quite responsible.
You need to perfectly master facial expressions, feel your body, understand the person who is shooting and what he wants to see. In response to ridiculous requests to show such an expression or such, the model made faces that are hard to imagine (as it seemed to us from the outside). She craned her neck like a giraffe, tilted her head almost behind her back, got up so that she seemed about to fall, etc. And in the frame, everything looked different and it turned out pretty straight forward :)
Before our eyes, during the shooting of one frame, she was many, many times different and did a whole complex of not simple gymnastic exercises :)
Madel’s responsibility is that all these people, and we counted 15 people, do not work for free, the studio also costs money, and the customer buys only the finished product ...
Will the finished product be satisfactory and whether it will be possible to get money for it - largely depends on its work :)
I am not talking about the photographer and other participants in the process; the complexity and importance of their work is obvious.
For me, the revelation was precisely the content of the model’s work, because the generally accepted opinion is that “there is nothing like that”. Now I know that this opinion is wrong :)
While some events are happening around, the cats are slowly calming down.
Kot does not need anything and is not interested, he wants to get home as soon as possible and continue to mark the doors, and Lyalechka is curious :)
Lyalechka is a very exciting and restless cat, so we had serious doubts about her career as a model :)
Well, the moment of truth has come ...
It starts ... :)
This is red on the girl, this is the skin.
From Gucci ...
Thin-thin, how much I do not even want to imagine.
Of course, we cut our claws the day before, but the picture as a cat clings to fashionable expensive skin or a high beautiful hairstyle stood before our eyes all the way ...)))
The girl is trying, the cat seems to be sitting calmly. Both are well done.
The cat looks around, but the photographer scribbles the camera like a machine gun, and the model behaves very professionally - maybe they will get good for the magazine :)
It’s impossible to be a calm professional all the time, especially if you are a girl and work with cats :)
Here the Cat began to purr ...
... here - tired and climbed into hiding ...
... and here the girl felt her heart beating :)
Nevertheless, the process continues :)
And I like some photos :)
Even made by me from behind, from the side, on an inexpensive camera, looking out from behind numerous assistants :)
The photographer and model in the shooting is important who would argue.
And the most important thing is a whisper, which is never in the frame, but is visible in the picture below in the hands of Lena :)
Her role was played by some sort of paper bag from sandwiches, found there in the studio.
We are again poorly prepared, for some reason we didn’t have any fun at home, we had to do it with improvised means ... Give our cats a fun for the New Year? :)
I don’t know what the authors will end up with, whether the editors will like at least something and whether Kotik will appear in the magazine, but it seems to me that at least for the sake of these three pictures below, we should have wound half a day around Moscow :)
The girl's hair color is a perfect match with the Cat :)
Kitty is handsome ... :)
Everything turned out to be not so simple with Lyalechka :)
She watched with interest the process from afar, because I specially deployed it so that everything could be seen and used from the carrying.
But when the turn came to her - the main desire was to rush off for the sofa ... :)
In the case of the restless Lyalka, the girl had to adapt to her and quickly take "beautiful poses", it was worth the cat to stop for at least a second :)
Anyone who has ever tried to photograph cats knows that staged photos with cats are a myth :)
Everything was in the studio as always:
- Look, look how beautiful she sits, take off soon! ...
But during the time you press the trigger, she is already sitting in another place and not at all beautiful ...)))
But, let's hope that the guys will also get something with Lyalechka :)
That's how we went yesterday :)
I don’t really understand why we needed it, we don’t have any material benefits, we only killed half a day in traffic jams :)
But it was interesting - we plunged into the atmosphere of Eru, so to speak :)
We saw something new, looked at the process from the inside, got experience and emotions.
Generally - no regrets :)
Now let's see how it looks in the print edition:
He scanned a photo from the magazine, so that the color rendition in the pictures is close to how it looks in the print edition.
I, apparently, am a very undeveloped person in the artistic sense, because I can’t appreciate the grace of design when everything is done dim and red :)
The model girl was gorgeous, she has luxurious hair, a very expressive face and bright clothes. Sorry for her, from girlfriends this number will hide, probably)))))
By the way, here - to compare the color rendition to you Lyalka, what it really is :)
Treat your pet with a complex for cats, we will try to help :)
