((alright, you start and I will join up after yours.))

Liam Adcock didn't make for a very imposing figure. Standing at a 'mere' five-foot-eight, he could barely meet another man's gaze without having to tilt his head back a little bit. He certainly wasn't muscular either; he had participated in track and swim-team in highschool, and his physique had remained that same slender, lanky build of an athlete that was designed more for speed than strength.
He wasn't very handsome either. Perhaps he could have been considered 'cute' at least, were in not for the fact that his A-stigmatism forced him to wear glasses that made his grey eyes appear to be three-times their actual size. Despite all of this, however, there was something about him that often intimidated people. Perhaps it was the way that he carried himself with a purpose, as though anyone that stood in his way would be promptly run-over and put out of their misery. Perhaps it was that flicker of cunning in his eyes or that raw wit one could hear in his low, surprisingly (and rather oddly, albeit) deep voice. Whatever it was, Liam Adcock was rarely not taken seriously.. "..I want those prints tonight, Art." He ran a hand roughly through his short, spikey blonde hair; the blank expression on his face was all one needed to see to know that the man was slowly becoming agitated with the person at the other end of the phone, "I can't afford to have you screw up another client's order simply because you can't haul your own a--...I'll call you back. There's someone on the other line." Forcing his finger down upon the telephone's dial, the man sighed deeply before speaking, "Adcock's office. What do you want?" The 'office' Liam happened to be sitting in at that moment was nestled just below his loft and set away just a few blocks from Broadway in New York City. It was usually far more busy than today, but for whatever reason Liam had decided to give the majority of his employees the day off. He was beginning to regret letting his secretary go, however; his phone never seemed to stop ringing, "..Look, I can't do a shoot for you today. I've already got someone to come in about ten minutes and they've booked the whole day--Ma'am--Yes, I know, but--Look, How about Monday, hmm? Yes, I'm penciling you in right now, alright? Good.." |
Zoey is woken up with a groan and hits snooze on her alarm clock only to be jumped on by her lab puppy, Nikki. Nikki licks her face and she knows “five more minutes” won’t work anymore. She gets up and feeds Nikki. She hated mornings. She finished and got dressed, looking in the mirror. Her brown eyes sparking back at her. She was a measly five foot three inches but her bust line was better then most. She was a D and proud of it. She smiled at her reflection and made the bed.
Zoey then went to the kitchen for some breakfast. Quickly eating some apples and peanut butter she grabbed her bag and left. Locking the door behind her she jumped in the car and bucked her seat belt. Her long brown wavy hair blowing in the wind as she drove downtown. She was going to a photographer today. It was going to be so fun. She was told to bring three different outfits so she did. She had them in the back seat of her Jetta. Pushing a button on the radio, on of her favorite songs came on. She began to sing as she drove to her destination. A few minutes later she arrived. She grabbed her bags of clothing and walked inside... |
Liam glanced up upon hearing the front door open, his gaze imediately fixing upon the petite form of a young woman. He gestured for her to sit in one of the chairs on the other side of his desk and then pointed at his wireless headset to indicate that he was on the phone. He then pushed a clipboard toward her along with a pen and gestured for her to start filling out the form there. With not a single word spoken or gesture made in polite greeting, Liam turned back to his own papers and attempted to finish the agitating conversation he was having with the woman at the other end of the line, "..I know, Ma'am, but I can't take a chance of getting my equipment wet. No, I--Yes, but--Look, if there's even a slight chance of rain that day, the shoot will have to be done indoors, and I--..Alright, alright, I'll be sure to let you know.."
With a sneer, the man practically ripped the headset off. For an instant, he seriously considering throwing the thing across the room, but remembered the girl's presence in his office and decided it best to vent his frustrations later. That settled, Liam ever so gently set the headset down upon the desk before him and leaned back in his chair, simply watching the young woman across from him, "..Are you the Victoria's Secret model or Vogue's? I'm having trouble remembering the difference between them all these days.." ooc: Yah, in case you didn't notice already, Liam's obviously a bit of a [email protected]$$. xD I hope Zoey can handle the pressure. :x |
Zoey walks in the door and sees a man on the phone. He seems a bit angry at the moment. She follows his finger and sits down. She takes the clipboard from him and begins to fill it out. "Hmm" name, address, phone, emergency contact, all standard things. SS number and a few other things. She quietly fills out the form and then looks over at him. The way the call ended it seemed as though he was going to throw the phone. Looking back up at him as he spoke she replied "Oh Victoria Secret" she then put her head back down and continued to fill out the form. This guy seemed like a jerk but maybe he was having a bad day. She was always taught to think of the best in people.
She finished filling out the form and handed it to him. She then went back and sat down. The chairs were comfortable. She looked around the studio. His desk was quite un-organized but the rest of the studio was really well kept. There were back drops and some stools, cameras and lights. The place was very impressive. She pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear as she picked up her phone. She sent a few quick texts out and then put her phone back. It seemed as soon as she put it in the bag it vibrated. She sighed and picked it up. She hit 'reply' and sent back. She put it back in her purse and looked up at the man wondering when they were going to start. ((haha I think I can handle it)) |
Liam took the clipboard as it was handed to him and set it on the desk. He didn't even bother to look at it to make sure everything was filled out correctly, "Alright, sweetheart, let's get a few things straight before we begin. I don't--" But before he could finish the girl had pulled out her cellphone and had begun texting. He stared at her blankly for a few moments.
Models were all alike. "First off, I don't like cellphones. Put yours on silent, turn it off, throw it out the window...I don't really care what you do with it but I want it gone." Liam paused, hoping his momentary silence might add a bit of emphasis before he went on, "Second, (and just so we're clear) I am the photographer, and you are the model; if I tell you that we're going to use a certain background or try a certain pose, you're gonna dam well do what I say, kapeesh? I'll not have my time wasted arguing over details with a client that needs me more than I need them, understand?" He raised a brow, trying to remember all the things he wanted her to know before they started the shoot. Really, those two points just about covered it. Models could be so tempermental and ornery that Liam was forced to assume that he had to set ground rules before his clients could take over the whole operation themselves (and that had happened often enough that Liam knew it almost always ended in disaster). Not to mention, the models themselves were rarely fun to work with. They always talked of how they had done things 'a certain way' in the past and wanted Liam to reproduce the experience or whatever. The could never be flexable.. But then again, how could one be flexable when their body is at least 98% plastic? Liam looked the girl over before standing up and gesturing for her to follow, "Go ahead and change into your first outfit. I'll adjust the lighting so we can take a few test shots." He found the girl's proportions rather unusual for a model. She was short, for one thing. Usually the big companies went after Amazon-types, but he supposed that this girl's abnormally, um...'generous,' shall we say, bust-size was probably her edge on the competition.. ooc: Quick question..do you have a picture for your character? xD I've been searching for one for Liam but am having bad luck. :c |

((hey! she is not all plastic.. lol she is like 10% plastic XD )) Zoey looked at him as he spoke. She scowled at him and grabbed her phone again. Just to spite him she sent out one last text message. She then giggled as she put it on silent and tucked it in the bottom of her bag. "Yes sir" she said as she looked back up listening to whatever else he was rambling about. The second thing made her want to jump up and get in an uproar. How dare he be in control, she was the amazing woman. She had all the talent not him, he was just the photographer. He was just pushing buttons. She smiled politely, happy he couldn't read her thoughts. "yes sir" she said again with a giggle. She stood up and went to follow him. She grabbed her bags and when they stopped. She pulled off her top and her bra was an amazing one. She then pulled off her skirt and she had on matching bottoms. She bent down and folded her clothes and put the back in the bag. She was still just in her under garments. She bent down again to pick her other outfit. She knew for this one she would have to change her under garments. She turned and had her back to him. She then reached around and pulled off her bra and threw it to her bag. She carefully put on the new one. She then stretched and reached down and pulled off her bottoms. Grabbing her new bottoms she put them on carefully as well. She turned around to face him. Her new attire way more sexier then when she walked in. |
Luckily for everyone involved, Liam had been too busy setting up his camera adjusting the lights, and setting up the scene to notice Zoey changing her clothing ( rather, her 'intimate wear' as the department stores always seem to call underwear xD ). He had simply assumed that the girl would notice the bathroom/changingroom that was just across the room from the studio and that she would take advantage of the privacy it would offer her. Needless to say, he was rather amazed at how quickly she had managed to change for the instant he turned away from his set (everything was now in order and ready for the test shooting to begin), there she was all ready to start.
"Hmm.." He slid the camera's strap over his head and gestured for her to stand in front of the screen, "I want to try out this lighting before we start the 'serious' shooting. Just stand there for a minute while I adjust the settings on this thing.." He furrowed his brow in concentration as he began flipping little dials all over his camera. Liam wasn't as easy to attract ( or distract xD ) as he had been at the beginning of his career. He'd been turned down so many times by the women he had been asked to photograph that he simply gave up after a while and hadn't bothered with it since.. ooc: In other words, she'll need more than just a fantastic outfit to turn him on. xD -shot'd- |
-ouch-
Zoey turned and saw he was fiddling with the camera's setting. She walked over to the screen where he directed her. It was then when she noticed the changing area. She sighed and realized she could have changed in privacy. She went to the screen. 'just stand there' She sighed and stood still. She began thinking about what exactly she was doing. She was being paid to let this guy take pictures of her in her underwear. There were so many things that could go wrong. She wondered slightly if she should tell him this was her first time getting photographed. She decided against it, it might make him angry or different towards her. Is that good or bad? What should she do? At least he wasn't a pervert. He didn't look at her once. That's somewhat encouraging. she thought. Maybe it might be okay after all. She watched him fiddle with his equipment as she stood still. At some point she crossed her arms and then put her hands on her hips. Not as in attitude way but she hated being still and had to do something. He really was a good photographer. He wasn't checking her out as most of the other guys would have. She let out a small smile and looked into the lens. |
Once he had achieved the combination of settings he wanted, Liam lifted the camera to his eye and began taking a few pictures, "Just relax for a minute. I have to adjust the lights." Dammed over-exposure...the lights were to low and far to close to the girl. Her face appeared on the veiwing screen of his camera as deathly pale.
When at last everything had been set to the correct height or setting, Liam turned back to Zoey and pointed his cameras lense at her, "Alright..I was told that 'Victoria' needs advertisements for all the store windows across the Northeast." He knelt down on one knee and just started snapping away, "..We need sassy, provocative, sophisticated...whatever you got, alright?" Every few minutes, Liam would change positions to try and get different angles. It was hard to say just what his clients would want so he had to be able to provide a variety of shots.. |
Zoey looked at him and sighed. She stood there for another few minutes while he fixed the lights. She relaxed as much as she could. She was in her underwear in front of a man. That alone isn't very relaxing. She smiled when he was done and she listened to him. She then began to pose. She did very relaxing then very sassy. That was fun for her. She showed attitude, she then switched and did some sophisticated poses. Soon all she was doing was sexy poses. She watched as he moved around the room snapping away.
((sorry for the short post. I have to leave.. going to the dentist for a check up XP )) |
After a few more shots, Liam paused for a moment and got to his feet, "Good..Let's try some props now.." The girl ('Zoey's her name, right? Oh well...I'll check the forms later..') seemed to be loosening up a bit now that the initial 'shock' was over. Liam couldn't be sure, but he was beginning to get a very vague impression that this girl was relatively new to the modeling industry..
He carried a black chair over to where Zoey stood and gestured for her to seat herself, "You can do whatever you want with this one; lean against it, sit on it, whatever. I don't want you to look at the camera this time, alright?" He took a few steps back to have a good look at the setting before lifting his camera to his eye once more.. ooc: Oooo... xP Have fun. |
Zoey smiled at him and then watched as he moved away. He came back with a black chair. She listened and nodded as he went back to the camera. She looked away from him and looked at the chair. She sat on it with her leg over the other, she leaned her back against it. She put one leg on it and put her neck back like she was stretching. She did tons of other poses and finally turned to look at him.
((XP thanks... time of my life.. sarcasm haha gotta go now.. i didn't think you would respond that fast.)) |
Well, if she was new the industry, Liam had to admit that this girl had a sort of gift for it (if you could even call posing in front of a camera a 'gift'). She seemed almost completely relaxed now and her photos were beginning to draw closer and closer to the quality that her bosses would want. The chair seemed to help her 'get in the zone' and by the time she was finished, Liam knew that his client would be pleased with how its model did.
He nodded and turned away from her slightly to pull out a new battery for his camera, "Good, good...Alright, so I'm going to assume that you wouldn't feel comfortable going outside into the garden in just your skivvies...What other outfits have you got?" Liam was growing bored with just using the studio. He would have to come back and take more photos with certain props (the agent at Victoria's Secret said that they wanted a certain color scheme and blahblahblah...either way, he would have to comply whether he felt it looked right or not), but that could wait. |
Zoey was having more fun with this. She relaxed and was more confident in what she was doing. She put her leg on it as if riding it. She blushed and kept going. She was enjoying this. Soon he stopped and she thought about the next question. "no, outside attention might not be good..." she said as she blushed. She then nodded and went to her back "I have a beach outfit, one for interviews, normal clothing, the outfit now and some others..." She wasn't sure which one she should wear now. All she knew, she was enjoying this more then she thought she would.
|
"Well.." Liam continued to fiddle with his camera until at last he managed to insert the new battery, "..this is a photoshoot for Victoria's Secret. Haven't they given you any outfits that they want you to advertise?" Probably more underwear, he thought wryly. With a chest like hers, Zoey was, no doubt, one of their 'favorite' bra models..
"The garden is just down this hall and out the door. I'm going to go set up, so after you change you can just meet me outside, alright?" And with that, Liam took up his equipment and left. The garden that lay behind Liam's office was small and fenced in, but filled with all sorts of life that one would rarely expect to see in the heart of a bustlying city like New York. Trees of all shapes and sizes lined the fence and almost completely hid the skyline and skyscrapers around the garden from veiw. Below their branches were winding pathways lined with all sorts of colorful bushes and flowers and even some ivy. An ornate birdbath sat at the very center of the garden; doves were rippling the mirror-like surface as they flitted about and flexed their snow-white wings.. |
Zoey smiled and nodded at him. "Well... nothing but some different bra's and panties..." She nodded to him and went to go get changed. She took off her outfit now and changed into the more sexier bra's. A red with black lace bra with matching panties. She blushed whenever she wore these. She put on her other dress on top of those and walked outside. She would be able to just take off their dress if he wanted outdoor shots of that.
She walked outside and had to stop in shock. It was beautiful! The colors, the bird bath, the dove in the front. It wasn't normal for New York. He must be able to get hundreds of shots with a garden like this. It was really amazing. She finally was able to speak. "wow, this is beautiful..." she said as she walked up to him. |
Just as he finished setting up the camera, Liam heard Zoey enter the garden. Her murmured comment on the beauty of his garden caused an ever so faint smirk to etch its way across his lips, "I certainly try. You have no idea how difficult it is for a photographer to find decent settings for his photos in a big, dirty city like this." Yes, he had basically been forced to have the garden planted lest he have to photoshop every last photo he made to look as though it had been shot anywhere other than the alleyway just outside his office.
"Hmm.." He eyed her clothing and nodded, "Right. How about we get a few shots by the roses? Take your pick; I've got pink, red, and white." As he spoke, he dragged over a beautiful (and very heavy) wrought iron bench for her to sit on. |
Zoey walked over to him "yea, I can only imagine... it seems like a whole new world in this garden compared to the rest of the city." It was really amazing he could have something like this in his backyard. She smiled and continued to walk around looking as she went. She looked over at him at the mention of roses. "white or pink..." she said.
She wasn't allowed to have opinions' he had to choose for her. She smiled at that and then watched him move the bench. "do you nee-" He was really strong as he moved it near the flowers. "I guess not..." she said with a small smile. |
He nodded and placed the bench right in between the two rosebushes (pink on the left and white on the right) and then gestured for her to proceed, "Just like inside. The sun's behind the buildings so it won't get in your eyes, luckily.." He lifted his camera to his eyes and began taking pictures from all different angles, "Try a sort of 'innocent' look. Roses imply beauty and class as well as sex-appeal, so let's have you try something along those lines, alright?"
ooc: Hmm...Not really sure what to do with him at the moment except have him take pictures. Make Zoey do something. xD |
Zoey smiled at him and sat on the bench. She knew what roses were for. She knew this would be crazy and possibly make the situation awkward. She looked so innocent like a child almost as she looked into the camera. She smiled sweetly and was innocent for another few shots. She took a rose and held it up to her body, she then put it in her hair. Then she did the un thinkable. She pulled a petal from the white rose and trailed it down her chest, her arms, her stomach and down her legs. (very slowly) She looked at the camera seductively as she did it. She left one laying right on her breast and then grabbed a pink one and did the same thing.
|
"Good, good.." He captured quite a few 'innocent' pictures that were sure to please his client. This girl was a natural actress, so it seemed; Zoey was able to capture exactly the emotion he told her too. Liam found it extremely odd that he could simply tell her to do something and that she would then go and actually comply. No questions asked. Granted, he had told her that was how he wanted things to work, but he had doubted that she'd actually do as he said.
"Excellent. How about seductive?" Yes, Zoey seemed as though she knew exactly what to do in every case. Perhaps she wasn't such a newbie at this game as he'd first thought, "Good, g--" Liam felt and odd sort of twitching sensation run up his spine as Zoey delved into her more 'seductive' side. He watched through the lense of his camera as she toyed with the petals of the roses, strangely entranced and only barely remembering to snap pictures, "..g-good.." ooc: I do believe she's started to beat him down.. :0 |
((haha yes!))
Zoey continued to play with the petals. She still had her dress on. She then watching his reaction. She stood up and slowly seductively pulled off her dress. Leaving her in her red lingerie set. The red matching perfectly with the pink and white roses. She sat back down, more like laying down. She continued to move the petal slowly across her chest. She swirled it around her center chest a few times as the nubs hardened. She did the same to the other one. She moved the petal all down her body. She even closed her eyes at times forgetting about the camera. |
