An afternoon with Jana

Lucie Desmond

When I am in England I often miss Czech Republic...When I am in Prague, sometimes I cannot wait to be in London.. I guess I will forever be this split personality and I will only feel home at the airport. From what I hear from other expats its quite common.. You'll never feel at home anywhere and constantly have this feeling of being homesick.

That's why meeting up with someone from the same part of the world is the perfect solution to feeling like this....:)

This time it was the beautiful Jana that has stayed in London with Milk Models management to pursue her modelling career. When I've been asked by her agent from the Czech Agency Ely (based in Prague) if I would like to shoot a test with her, I was very excited! She's stunning, an amazing young woman that can easily be a worldwide superstar ;) ! She's a curvy model or as some agencies label it a plus size (which is not my favourite term ...) and she has got everything to make it a success in this modelling world..

Soon after seeing Jana for the first time I've realised that we are not only from the same country but our home towns are literally about 20min from each other :) and that really doesn't happen to me every day ;) Chatting about places I know from my youth (yes I can officially use this word now ;) ), walking around and taking photos of different places in the beautiful Oxford University park was really a perfect way to spend a sunny late afternoon. Lately I have been so busy that I sometimes forget to take photos just for myself, with no pressure of the brief from a customer think about. We had few pieces for styling from Zara which were just perfect for her beautiful figure.

I should finish this post with TO BE CONTINUED... As I also shot a short video that I will share soon on my Instagram account ;) full of sun, beautiful countryside and Jana's stunning smile! It's pretty obvious that she has a great career ahead of her and I can't wait to shoot an editorial, commercial or a beauty story with Jana for one of my clients! 

TO BE CONTINUED..... ;)
