Next Top Model - The Delta

by admin on Jan.23, 2012, under Photo

Starting today, I’m going to take you through my experience as a photographer for Next Top Model by Catalin Botezatu. The Danube Delta was the first of several locations I traveled to in order to shoot with the contestants. This was going on 18th of September 2011.

It was pretty difficult for the girls because they had to make their way through the rather deep mud; it wasn’t any easier for Catalin Botezatu and the producers, since they also had to cope with the same elusive swamp and various aquatic creatures squirming through it.

It was close to the beginning of the season (episode 6 of season 2), so there were still a lot of girls and a lot of shooting to be done. Since there were 11 girls, we had to move between 11 different locations from the Delta.

I was slightly luckier than everyone else, since I got to stay in the boat. For the last few photos, however, I also descended into the slime that bordered one of the lakes.

Towards the end of the episode, I contributed to the judging process together with Catalin and Mirela Vescan. Although it was a difficult shoot for everybody, I had to assess the girls’ ability to pose successfully regardless of conditions.
