Paola

This is Paola from Brazil. We shot this at her mom’s backyard during a very hot 114 degree F day – keeping the film cool & Paola's makeup from melting was challenging.

Making a good crop is essential for good composition, for several years Paola was on my business card not full face but cropped in half. For me Paola is what I look for in a model: full lips, captivating eyes, a tear-drop shaped face & an awesome personality
