1x1 (Narumi&Soma)

Fox raised his chin to get a better look at the skyscraper he's been standing in front of and readjusted strap of his bag, digging into his shoulder. He hated to work outside his studio and he rarely did that, but he could make an exception for the amount of money he was offered. Well, he was – however narcistic it could sound – really, really good at taking photos, so no wonder they hired him.


Apparently some huge clothing brand wanted him to take photos for their new advertisment. And for some reason they wanted to do it in their own place, not in the photostudio or in some specific location, like, for example, old castle or something. But he wasn't in place to complain about it, so he finally entered the building and met the person responsible for showing him the place.


He started disposing his equipment with care. As always he was a good hour earlier, to make sure everything was intact.

Isabella ran her hands through her brown hair. She was wearing regular clothes, no makeup or anything, just natural beauty. She was currently sitting on a train as she traveled to the location of where she would be asked to take a photo shoot that morning, she looked like any regular person.


She got out of the train and began to walk to the tall guiding they would be shooting in, instantly she was rushed into a changing room where she would be transformed into a model. The theme of today's shoot would be feminine, so she was dressed in a mature outfit with matching makeup.


She smiles as she looks at herself in the mirror and nodded in approval as she was guided to her photographer.

For a last half an hour he was busy with adjusting the light, fiddling with his camera's settings and wondering which lens he should use. He had some nice woman make him coffee, so when the time came, there were already two empty cups standing near his bag. But well, he would be really annoying without his daily share of coffee, and probably end up being rude, or something.


When he heard someone entering his temporary studio, he turned on his heel to face them. He saw a young woman and someone who was probably a member of clothing brand that hired him.


"So you're the one I'll be photographing today?" He asked the girl, with a small smile. "I'm Fox, nice to meet you."


He introduced himself because he sincerely believed that the photos turned out better if the atmosphere while taking them was friendly. When the model was relaxed and felt no pressure, he or she looked better and more natural.

Isabella gazes around the studio and smiles weakly to herself, there were a few inspectors, sitting perched on stools as they took a note of some things as they always did in their notebooks. She wanders over to the photography which was a quite good looking man with a camera hanging around his neck.


She smiles at him and then nodded. "I'm Isabella, it's nice to meet you" She says softly and then went into the centre where she would be for the shooting, she was now used to modelling and didn't feel very nervous.


When everything was in place and they were ready to start the shoot she instantly began posing as she always did, she posed quite flawlessly, and gracefully. Her facial expressions were good, too.

Fox glanced over his shoulders at personnel that was going to watch him work and sighed, while the model was making herself ready. He hated when somebody was watching his hands – that was a main reason he preffered to work in his own studio. But well, he wasn't going to complain out loud for amount of money he was getting for a few photos.


When Isabella was ready and started posiong, he began to take photos of her, giving her a few suggestions from time to time. The background was plain white for now, after the session he would have to talk to somebody who was responsible for his work and make sure they didn't want him to change background later.

 

[Narumi]

Isabella nods vaguely and then listens to his advice each time he told her it. Her pictures were nice and the people monitoring them nodded each time a new one came up and commented, taking down notes, the comments were all positive. Once they were done, she was aloud a break.


After having a short break she was rushed into the changing rooms to change for the next theme, which would be gothic/rocky. She had dark makeup on and was rushed into the photoshoot area again.

Fox knows that people monitoring them would be pleased, because his pictures are good – as always – and the model is pretty and experienced. He is pleased with his company, because Isabella is really doing her best.


While she is changing, he went out for a cigarette (two, in his case) and got another coffee. It was bad having one addiction, and his workaholic persona had two to satisfy. When he walked back to his temporary studio, the model is in different clothes and they continue working. This time people who are present in the room give their own suggestions, which is a bit irritiation for Fox, but he was taking it patiently, think of the money that will end on his account later.

 

[Narumi]

Once the very last photo shoot was done Isabella was very exhausted. She got changed back into her normal clothes and washed her makeup off. She began to wander into the photo shoot are where both the photographer and herself would be complimented.


She turns to the photographer and snukes at him, thanking him for his work, because he was really doing his best and without him all of this wouldn't be complete. She smiles at him.

 

[Soma]

After the work was done, he began packing his equipment. He wasn't in hurry, since he had to wait for someone responsible for his payment. But that somebody wasn't coming – probably was doing something that only very important people do – so Fox was wating patiently.


He smiles back at the model. "Why modeling?" He asks, straight to the point. "I mean, a lot of your colleagues ended here accidentaly. What about you, was that your plan all along?"
