Daniel drove up to the front of the large studio, shutting off the radio and getting out of his jeep after parking it. Pulling his gray beanie down a bit lower over his bleach hair, his blue eyes scanned the place for the large black door that read "STUDIO 7." There was at least ten different areas you could take pictures in, and the night before last he had set up the scene in studio seven with a backdrop of clouds, beach balls, fake palm trees, and other props for the models he would be meeting today to do the beach fun summer photoshoot with for GQ's article. He took off his sunglasses and threw his bag over the chair, removing his matching scarf as he got out his camera. Looking down the row of models he smiled contently. "Okay grab a suit, there is one of every color and they are all basically the same style." He nodded and turned his back to them, messing with his camera and making sure the lens was on correctly and the settings where prepared and all the other basics. When he was finally done and the women and men where done changing into the swim suits, he turned back around, wrapping the camera strap around his hand.

ooc: just to let you know, daniel's siggie is too big and is stretching the board so if you could make it smaller that would be great. also photoshoots can't really be open because only stars do photoshoots so could you change the open to something along the lines of open to stars. thanks!

Giselle was busy typing on her Blackberry as one of the managers came and opened up her door for her. Her Dolce and Gabana glasses shaded her eyes from the blaring sun and the flashing lights of paparazzi snapping pictures of her. Another man opened the door to enter the building as her wedged cork heels clacked against the linoleum floor.
Giselle Hope Carter, daughter to Antionette Renee Cervalez; the French super model. Giselle is now a international super model engaged and soon to be married to male model extraoirdinare Tyson Tyler. Well known throughout the modeling industry she is known as the youngest super model and one of the best of her decade.
"Giselle darling, cannot believe I am working with you again!" The hair stylist Fabio greeted her with two kisses as he set her down in the beauty chair and removed her glasses before letting down her hair and tussling it around. "Volume, volume, volume!" He squealed as he applied mousse to his hands and applied it directly to her scalp. "Is Tyson coming?" He asked. "I think so, he is really busy, he is getting fitted for his tuxedo, are you coming to the wedding?" She asked. Fabio nodded and began to plait her hair neatly as it came down one shoulder.
Giselle sat perfectly still as she flipped through a Vogue magazine while Fabio did her hair and her nails along with a makeup artist named Hannah who came with her massive trunk of makeup. Once finished she stood up and thanked them as she unwrapped her pink silk robe that had her name on the back of it before changing into her costume.
Once in her classy grey dress she approached the set with the other models. Some were her pupils that she taught and others were fresh faces. The models clapped for her and the girls asked to get to know her better. Giselle smiled and hugged them all as she turned her attention to the photographer. "I look forward to working with you sir."

Daniel was helping some of the new girls with thier hair a bit. Half of the women and men in the room were brand new models, wanting to make it big and the other half was expirienced posers, who already had an entire team behind him. Daniel passed out a volleyball to each girl and a plastic surfboard to each guy. "Alright, now first we are going to go ahead and do all of you in one shot." He announced, as they lined up and he fixed them where he wanted them, telling them which poses and facial expressions to make. When someone came in almost every model went to greet the girl. Daniel turned around and smiled, recongizing the girl from the description that his own manager gave him. "Ah, you must be Giselle Carter. Miss Carter, it is a pleasure to meet you." He extended his hand for a gentle kiss on the hand. "I am Daniel Rhodes, and I will be your photographer today." He smiled warmly at her. "Hopefully I won't make the beach babes look too bad, with your help, huh? Alright now, if you could just change into one of the bathing suits." He said, handing her the bag of bikinis and one pieces. He then found the ball in the corner and nodded. "I have the perfect spot for you. For the portrait, stand in the middle of the boys and girls and hold this rainbow beach ball in front of your legs." He instructed her kindly.

She changed into a simple black two piece as the director of the overall photoshoot snapped a natural polaroid of her for future references. She approached the set again and she handed her pink silk robe to someone down below before taking the ball from the photographer.
She did as she was told as she learned the models around her and their names before she squeezed in between them as she held the ball with a devious grin on her face as she laughed at herself for getting so into it. She then tossed the ball up in the air and made a surprised face with her hands on the sides of her cheeks in a shocked face. Before the ball came down she did a handshake with one of the male models she had known before as she did a chest bump. The perks of being a super model.

Daniel snapped about six pictures of the same thing, and laughed as she threw it in the air. "Perfect, perfect. Give me life, give me energy, give me summer fun." He snapped a few more before dismissing the males for a short while and snapping the females again. "You girls are teens who just got out for summer break, so let loose and have fun! Smile, be happy, give me everything you feel, all the happiness and warmth!" He encouraged them, moving in different directions and angles and snapping the camera, resetting the focus each time he snapped a new one.

Gemma had arrived just in time for the photo shoot. She was one of the bigger models there as well as Giselle Carter. The rest of them were more newbies but that was okay too. It gave her a chance to meet new people and get to know the up and coming models that she might be working with in the future.
She had just gotten back from a pretty long vacation with some of the other Victoria's Secret models and she was glad to get back to work. Since she loved what she did then it didn't really feel like work to her. Strolling into the studio she didn't waste any time and got her hair and make up done quickly before changing into the swimsuit she was handed.
When she was dressed and ready she headed over to where all the other models were standing as they waited to get their pictures taken. They took some group shots and then the men left while just the girls were getting their picture taken. While everything was getting set up for the shoot, Gemma turned to Giselle to greet her. They were old friends and knew each other because of modeling.
"Giselle, I'm so glad to see you! It's been way too long. Congrats on the engagement, I'll bet the wedding will be beautiful." she greeted before giving the girl a friendly hug.

Sam walked to the photoshoot, feeling honored that she was invited to be part of it. She was one of the newer models, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t bring her all. A rumor was going around that Victoria’s Secret model, Gemma Marcella was going to be one of the models, as long with Giselle Carter-Tyler. Samantha ambled over to the hair and makeup area and sat in the open black leather chair. She waited for the artists to come over, but for now she checked her phone. No new messages it read. She turned off her phone and then looked at the mirror with a smile as the makeup artist came. ”Hello,” he greeted with a large Russian accent. ”I am Fonk!” he announced. ”Nice to meet you Frank,” she replied back with a tight smile. ”Fonk,” he corrected, giving her a kiss on the cheek. He began to do his thing, brushing bronzer on the apples of her cheeks and then doing a quick swoop of it on her forehead, chin, and nose. Her insides tingled as it tickled when he placed the makeup on her. It seemed Fonk was going for a more natural, California glow-look. He applied the rest of her makeup before leaving, air kissing her, as the hair artist appeared. The hair stylists greeted her, and began to straighten her blonde hair, while the faint smell of smoke filled the air. He finished quickly, as Sam’s hair was already pretty straight. She thanked him and then was pointed in the direction of wardrobe. She was given a greenish-blue, ocean blue bandeau bikini with matching bottoms. She hid behind the rack of clothes as she slipped it on, showing the stylists. She nodded as then Samantha was taken to the set of the photoshoot. Sam stood off to the side, waiting to be direct. The photographer was busy taking photos of Giselle, and the other models. She spotted Gemma talking to Giselle, as the other models played around with a beach ball. She walked up to the photographer as he took a break looking at the photos. ”Hello, I’m Samantha Caron,” she greeted, placing out a hand.

Daniel took a few more photos and smiled as the few more women walked in and got in the shot. He nodded and sighed. "Well, I guess this is not all that is coming." He laughed softly, hitting the volleyball to them as they juggled it around. He then turned around and leaned against the wall, flipping through the pictures he had already taken and deleting the ones he did not like. He heard a voice and at first ignored it, something he had gotten used to since it was usually by him, not directed to him. He was so used to the models trying to sneak a peak at the pictures. He then looked up at her and saw the new model talking to him. He had seen her headshots from one of the first photoshoots that she did. He smiled and extended his hand, meeting hers. "Nice to meet you, I am Daniel Rhodes. Welcome to my beach." He waved his hand around the fake set, laughing softly before returning his attention to the pictures.

When Gemma had finished greeting Giselle she glanced around to see who else was at the shoot. Her light green eyes finally landed on Daniel and Samantha. A smile crossed her face as she saw him and she headed towards him before wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him. She had helped him get this gig and was hoping it would help sling shot his career because he was a really good photographer and had a lot to bring to the modeling world. He just needed the chance to prove it.
"Hey Danny! You got the gig, congrats! How have you been? I feel like I haven't talked to you in a really long time." she greeted him happily as she released him from her hug and stood in front of him, smiling up at him. He was one of her best friends and they had always gotten along really well.

Samantha went with the other models and greeted herself to them. They were all in their early twenties, but Sam would have to act younger, anyways, twenty three wasn’t that old, was it? She bumped the beach ball around with them before setting it up. She laughed as she looked directly at the camera for a pose. It wasn’t really like a direct pose, as it was effortless and was just looking like she was having fun. That was the whole point of the shoot; to have fun. It wasn’t editorial, just commercial. She interacted with the models some model, trying to standout, as that’s the point of a group shot. It was a challenge to stand out from the rest of the models, and to get the audience to look at the model instead of the others. She smiled as her feet danced around in the fake sand, with a potted palm tree besides them. She felt like she stuck out like a sore thumb since she was paler than the other models. Too bad, she was here to do her job and that was not her problem.

Daniel chatted a bit more with Sam before she headed to the other girls and he started re-setting his camera color and contrast. He then was hugged to death and laughed softly, putting his free arm with the green wristband around her waist as sort of a hug back. "Who said you could touch me?" He asked her, before laughing-showing her he was just teasing. "Glad to see you again Gemmabear, I thought you had dissapeared off the face of the earth." He smiled at her, pushing up the sleeves of his skin-tight gray shirt. "Alright, ladies." He said, a bit loud for all the girls to listen. "Get wherever you feel comfortable on the set and I will tell you which poses to move. Please do not talk too loud, so I can hear the other models." He nodded as everyone started to shuffle around before going to each individual girl and moving their arms or legs a bit for them while talking in a low voice, telling them what to do or look like. He then got to Giselle in the middle, front. "Okay, Giselle I need you to hold the volley ball on your side, sort of lean on the palm tree there. Yeah, there you go. Okay, here let's put your hair...." He never finished his sentences as he pushed her long brunette locks over one shoulder and then tilted her head. "Alright, now look to the side and look serious but sexy." He nodded and walked to the next few girls, instructing them each.

Gemma appeared and Giselle was excited now. "Thank you honey, you're coming to the wedding right?" She asked as she was whisked off by Daniel. He gave her a ball and a tree and she had to make both of the props work. He wanted serious yet sexy... Seductive it was.
He had pushed her long brown curled hair behind her shoulders as she Giselle used the ball as a cushion against her ribs as she leaned on the tree looking away yet straight as she chewed her bottom lip before beckoning this imaginary person. She pretended that she was trying to attract Tyson and she knew that wasn't always easy especially when they were constantly far away and never had time together. She then took the ball in one hand and propped her hand on her hip as she looked off with a challenging expression as she tossed the ball in the air.

Gemma smiled and laughed as Daniel greeted her before she followed him back over to the other models and took her place in the line up of girls. While Daniel was still telling the rest of the girls how to pose, Gemma turned to Giselle and nodded excitedly in reply to her wedding question.
"Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" she exclaimed before taking up her pose once more and moving around to different positions with different expressions as Daniel started to snap pictures.

Daniel snapped a few more pictures before putting down his camera. "Okay, now I would like for Giselle, Sam, and Gemma to take individual photos." He explained, sorting out the ladies. The other models went into the back room while Gemma and Sam lined up on the side. "Okay, these are the poses that you three are going to do." He put down the camera on the chair and got on the sandy set to demonstrate. He leaned against the tree first, then he held the beach ball and smiled, and the last one he did was laying on the towel. "Okay so do something with the palm tree, something with the ball, and something with the towel. Okay?" He got his camera and set it to high color before getting down on his knees as Giselle was up first and he autofit the camera to her body and face.
