Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard || Taennie Adaptation

Chapter 46: The True Oriental Trend

The makeup artist, as well as other staff, were endlessly praising Seulgi's beauty. Because of her charming and energetic personality, Kang Seulgi demanded everyone's attention. Whereas, in comparison, when not working, Jennie was quiet and peaceful; she didn't like talking. This kind of introverted personality, especially when compared to Kang Seulgi, made it easy for people to overlook her presence and beauty.

"Miss Kang, since you are ready, please make your way into the studio to get your solo shoot taken first."

As well as the front cover shoot, there were also solo photos inside the magazine, so Kang Seulgi entered the studio ahead of Jennie. As she got up from her seat in front of the mirror, a provoking look went across her face accompanied by a confident aura - it was like she was sure she would win. This confidence definitely could not be found on Jennie. As a result, based on a favorable impression, all the staff had faith in Kang Seulgi more.

Inside the studio. The set was ready. Under the traditional wooden window stood an old table. Atop the table, sat a delicate blue and white porcelain vase and appearing out of the vase was a beautiful pink rose that had recently bloomed. Beside the table sat a Taishi chair; Kang Seulgi's task was to sit on this chair and take a photo.

Upon seeing Seulgi enter the studio, the photographer was captivated by her look. All this Oriental beauty had to do was sit on the chair and she would be as beautiful as a painting. If she could utilize her skills to take it a step further, the Oriental Trend would definitely be ignited in the Western market.

"It's rumored this model is comparable to Bae Irene," the photographer's assistant praised, "She must be very professional."

"I have high hopes." The tall handsome photographer reminded everyone to get in position before telling Seulgi, in a friendly manner, that the shoot would be about to start.

As Kang Seulgi was very ambitious, she understood, apart from putting in extra effort for the shoot with Jennie, she also could not treat this solo shoot casually.

"Let's take a few shots from the side," the photographer instructed Kang Seulgi. With the help of the translator, Seulgi understood the photographer's expectations, so she immediately turned her body to one side. She then used her right arm to lean on the back of the chair and placed her left hand on her dress - revealing the left side of her refined face as she smiled seductively.

The photographer furrowed his brows - he was expecting an Oriental beauty, not an Oriental temptress...

The photographer captured a photo regardless. He thought maybe she hadn't gotten into the momentum yet, so he directed her to express the intellectual beauty of an Oriental woman by holding a traditional red basket. This time, Kang Seulgi sat up straight; the angle was right, but...she had her head down...all the photographer could see was her wide forehead.

The photographer again took a few shots, his expression was unimpressed. How could this model be compared to Bae Irene?

Worst of all, throughout the entire shoot, although Kang Seulgi's personality stood out, she could only pull off one smile and one facial expression...

The photographer was silent, he just wanted to complete the job at hand. When the shoot was finally over, Seulgi was shameless enough to approach him and ask how she went.

The photographer didn't respond while his assistant turned to Kang Seulgi, gave her a thumbs up and said, "Very good..."

Seulgi gave a proud smile. Underneath her refined appearance was a model with no self-awareness - it suddenly felt so easy to hate her.

"Pfft!" The photographer let out a sound of digust behind her back before turning to his assistant and asked, "Is there still one more?" At this moment, Jennie gently entered the studio. She started off by greeting the photographer politely.

Her smile didn't seem forced nor unfriendly, but because of Kang Seulgi's shoot, the photographer was currently in a bad mood, so he could only respond to Jennie in an expressionless manner.

Deep down he thought, even though the model that just left wasn't skilled, at least she had a bright personality. Whereas the model in front of him, was quiet and dull - he was expecting her to be even worse.

Because of his expectations, his attitude towards Jennie was very casual. He casually prepared and casually started the shoot without giving Jennie any directions. All he mentioned to her were the underlying themes of each photo.

"I really don't know how these women can be called models," the assistant next to the photographer also did not have high expectations for Jennie.

Theme 1: The gentleness of an Oriental woman.

The photographer wasn't worried at all about this theme because Jennie just had to be herself and the task would be completed. However, she did something he did not expect. Indeed, she did not need to do anything fancy, she just had to maintain her usual composure and simply sit on the chair, but...she added in one important factor...

...her eyes...

Unlike the calm, emotionless expression she originally had, Jennie's gaze was now focused in front of her; alert and clear. Her eyes were slightly watery with a tinge of red - like she was looking at something she loved, but had to resist...

This was exactly the shy, reserved personality of an Oriental woman!

Most importantly, Jennie didn't only bring attention to her eyes, she also led onlookers with her emotions to focus on the clothes on her body...she looked like a woman that had dressed up for the person she loved, only to find...the person she loved was with another person. Therefore, she felt her appearance was disgraceful and a joke...

Emotion and setting blended together; her gaze and the product became one...

Wow...

The photographer couldn't contain his excitement. Throughout the entire shoot, he endlessly shouted, "Perfect!"

He had never seen such a skilled model. His heart was so excited it was about to burst...

In a mere 5 minutes, Jennie managed to portray a story, and most importantly, this story was related to the clothes she was wearing!

This was how a professional model should be. No matter how beautiful she was, she was meant to be an accessory for the product she was presenting. Most models had the capability to show off their clothes, but how many could become one with it?

This time, the photographer was filled with excitement. He finally felt he found a chance to show off his photography skills. Most importantly, Jennie was a model that knew how to pick her own poses. She didn't require much direction, every pose she pulled was exactly what was required and every photo she took would make one not willing to delete it...

Thinking about it, the previous model compared to Jennie...was completely overshadowed.

The difference between 'just-a-pretty-face' and a 'real model' was like the difference between the sky and earth.

Afterwards, the photographer asked Jennie to pull off a few more looks. What made him even more surprised was the fact that no matter what he requested from Jennie, she would be able to respond within a second. Flirtatious, sad, innocent, seductive - she could pull it all off with a simple gaze and her detailed approach. He couldn't help but applaud her...

This type of model completely encompassed the true Oriental Trend!
