the work was offered by a french people who was a photographer, he would have a photo shoot in berlin with a german magazine and some german models so he asked me to go with him and worked as a stylist and a makeup artist because he didnt want to pay for 2 people, so i can do both. normally i do only 1 job. but then he didn’t need to pay for another one’s flight. because for europe models i dont need to do too much makeup they have already their face very not like chinese. the magazine wanted a style more natural. then we arrived there and he rent a big house, and we had a shooting inside the house, very comfortable, very cozy. because the photo shoot was about pyjamas. What i did was I went to a showroom of some pyjamas brands because the magazine have already contacted with this brand and i just went there to choose some pyjamas which i like, and then i brought them to the house where we have shooting.
