Elizabeth Payne & Sam Rooney. Impossible Triangle

I know Elizabeth for a while in the virtual world and finally IRL (In Real Life) for a shoot together.

Elizabeth is one of the girls that know what they want and know what to do to achieve it.

It was really easy to shoot with her as she has a lot of experience and very easy to direct. I just needed to give her an idea of a story and she would know how to make it work. That’s really awesome and we had lots of fun.

Liz came along with the athletic Sam Rooney who is starting out an inspiring modeling career. Being with a model (Elizabeth) and willing to get out there, Sam put a lot of effort into the shoot and the photos came out very nice.

We also had Katrina Lewis who stopped by for a few shots with us.

Models: Elizabeth Payne, Katrina Lewis and Sam Rooney

Katrina Lewis. A multi talent model

I met Katrina during one of the FTV Diamond  Model Awards nights a few weeks ago and took a few photo of her.

Straight away, I saw in Katrina the potentials of a model. The way she talks, the way she poses and the way she acts like a model, naturally.

It is then no surprise that we plan a shoot together and I can confirm that more than being a model very fun and easy to work with, she has other talents. Katrina is an athlete swimmer (Katrina won a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Beijing), ballroom dancer, make up artist, lecturer and is a very fun model. Yeah, I already said that but it’s worth to mention again 🙂
