Miss at la Playa posted some very interesting backstage stories of photographer Mark Reay, my favorite being the one about Tanya Dziahileva and Lara Stone. Here they are…
“So once again Tanya Dziahileva - the happiest teenager in modelling - was a delight to see, and she was everywhere this season. Once I heard some strange sounds coming out of a group of photographers who were shooting her while she was getting her hair done. She was laughing and full of life- I didn’t fight the crowd and shot some other girls while I waited until the photographers moved on.
Tanya got up and smiled at me and I asked for a photo and she replied: “yes but you MUST”… and then she put her hand in front of my lens, and continued …“you must meow like a kitten while shooting the photo otherwise no picture!” I laughed and meowed and her hand came away from the lens. Then it dawned on me the sound I had heard earlier.
A few days later while I was standing in the crowd watching a show, Tanya walked down the runway, pounding her heals into the cat walk, staring into the pit of photographers at the end of the runway without blinking, - dominating the runway. She got to the end of the platform- stopped posed, hands on hips a very confident look on her face and just before she turned, I shouted“MEOW!” I swear she smiled and people around me thought I was some crazy fool.
I wish I saw her more than just 2 weeks out of the year, but that’s better than nothing.”
And the one about Lara…
“Then I approached another model whose identity I was equally mystified due to her almost Kabuki style make up and whacked hair. I asked her if I could take some shots- “sure” she said. I sat down opposite to her - knees almost touching and as I was adjusting the flash and getting ready to take the 2nd shot, I asked the same question: bad move. “That’s so fucking disrespectful. I know who you are MARK” UGH! At this point I could see a very unique feature: a large gap between her 2 front teeth (kinda like Magdalena’s jaw line) and immediately knew it was Lara Stone- who I had some ups and downs with a year ago - I would have probably avoided her if I had known it was her as I was kinda intimidated. With the pleasant feeling evaporating of how cool she was at agreeing in the first place to accept my request and how we could have been perhaps friendly again; I tried vainly to explain myself, and then another unknown super model entered to ask her to get a smoke together. 5 mins later she walked by and knowing how cool a smiling shot of her would be, I asked gingerly - she snapped “no!””
What a bitch : P
