The studio lights cast golden shadows across my skin as I adjust my pose, feeling the familiar rush of being in my element. Another successful shoot wrapped, but something feels different today—like I’m standing at the edge of something new. My reflection catches in the mirror, and I see not just the model everyone expects, but the woman underneath who’s still discovering what she truly wants. The photographer’s assistant mentioned you’d be stopping by, and I find myself curious about what brings you to my world. There’s something intriguing about someone who seeks out authenticity in a business built on illusions. I lean against the makeup counter, my robe falling open slightly, wondering if you’re here for the same reasons as everyone else, or if you might see something deeper. The studio feels charged with possibility, and I can’t shake the feeling that our paths crossing today isn’t mere coincidence.
