Hashtag Models photoshoot

Hello fellow bloggers or just blog readers. I feel before I can truly begin my blogging journey I need to introduce myself to all of you. Well it'll be rude otherwise. My name is Tamara and I a 17 year old girl (you'd be surprised with half of the things I say and do) from none other than the amazing city itself, London. Well that's a lie, more like surrey, but London is London. I am in love with fashion and all different styles, music lover and obsessive talker. I have been referred to as weird, loud, annoying, crazy and even funny at many times in my life. So starting up a blog seemed right up my street if you ask me. Anyways before I blabber on, I guess I shall start off with my very first blog post, I do hope you like reading it as much as I will definitely enjoy typing it.

So recently I bagged myself a more than amazing job, at a modelling agency. Hashtag models to be exact (check out the website here: http://www.hashtagmodels.com) and I couldn't be more than happy. I mean why wouldn't I love working in a industry I love so much. Fashion is something I very much love. Anyways enough about me (again) back to the point of this blog post.  So on Saturday 23rd March I went to the very first (for me) Hashtag Models shoot. Below are a few behind the scenes  shots:


So the day didn't start of as planned...
A few people who were meant to show up to help out on the shoot didn't and one of those people happened to be the stylist. So as the team got together we were left to our very own devices, meaning it would be down to a few of us to take the role of stylists. So in the end myself and two other girls who were helping out on the shoot decided to be the stylists for the day. We even went as far to give ourselves a little name, Oreo Stylists (don't ask) and overnight we suddenly became not only makeup artists but hair stylists as well. Some cheeky snaps below:


As stressful as it was trying to do the girls makeup and hair, I can say it was a lot of fun and a good experience. And luckily for us the makeup and hair didn't need anything extreme done to it, so we were more than capable to put a few coats of mascara on a few faces and straighten some of the girls hair.

Other than the stylist not showing up and the photographers camera not working a few times throughout the day, I have to say after the music was turned on and the models and talents got to know each other a bit the day ran on pretty well. The atmosphere of the whole day was beyond lively and fun. Everyone got on so well and seemed to have a pretty awesome time.

Now you are probably wondering who these 'talents' I speak off. Well, we were lucky enough to have the company of a few very talented singers. A boy band of the name of Concept, three female singers Bethan Leadley, Chloe Bromley and Ellapaige and the only male singer Sam Callahan. I do have to say Concept definitely worked their butts off on the shoot, with all their fabulous posing as well as Sam Callahan. They were a presence to have at the shoot and definitely made the atmosphere great. Again here are some behind the scenes snaps of the talents working their stuff:


Now it wasn't only the 'talent' at the shoot, showing of their model poses, we happened to have a lovely bunch of models in for either pictures for a portfolio or some came in to model with the talents. Now I can't lie, Concept were very lucky to have quite a few fans wanting to pose with them. But I must say the 'fans' and the 'models' really did put my model poses to shame. Again here are some behind the scenes pictures of everyone working their stuff:




Like I keep saying the atmosphere of the day was beyond fun. It was an experience in itself and I am more than excited for the up and coming shoots with Hashtag Models. But before I end this blog post I have to say a massive congratulations to the three girls that put the whole shoot together. The top dogs of the agency aka the bosses. Chloe, Demi and Emm put together such an amazing shoot and worked their butts of all day but still managed to keep everyone in the whole shoot laughing and smiling. At the end of the day I think that the shoot went extremely well and the end pictures will be marvelous so I'm super exited to see them.

So thats the end of the post, I do hope you enjoyed reading it. I shall leave you with some more cheeky behind the scenes photos from the shoot. Enjoy.

  1. Have you heard from Hashtag Models again? They seem to have vanished off the face of the earth.
