VS Magazine and Website Photographer
I took a deep breath and checked the address once again to make sure I was at the right building, then took the last step and opened the door, entering the Victoria's Secret building and walking up to the desk where the secretary grinned and asked, "Hello, how may I help you?"
"Hi, I'm Ella Monroe. I'm here for a photoshoot with Harry Styles," I replied and she nodded, typing a few things into her computer, then telling me to take the elevator to the thirteenth floor and I would be in the photo studio. I thanked her and headed to the bay of elevators and pressed the shiny, round, up button and stepped in when it slid open.
I nervously tapped my foot as it rolled up to the floor I needed and when it opened, I was instantly welcomed by the hustle and bustle of assistants running around, lights being moves, racks of lingerie being moved, and so much chaos that I had missed from model.
"Ah! Miss. Monroe!" I heard a deep voice with an English accent, then saw a tall man with rather long, curly hair with his shirt only partially buttoned, putting his inked up torso on display, making me swoon instantly, "So great to finally meet you. I'm Harry, the photographer. Today we will do a few of the newer additions to the Victoria's Secret collection along with some of the classics. We will also do some PINK outfits and accessories. But first, you have about a half hour to eat and rest up as you please. While you eat- Sarah! Sarah, come here, please!" Harry called to a young blonde girl across the room who rushed over from her spot at the make up vanity, "Sarah will be your hair stylist. She will fix your hair while you eat,"
"Hi, it's so great to meet you. Just come with me. You can grab any drink from the coffee bar then grab a little something to eat at the breakfast table and meet me back my vanity right over there, okay?" She cheerily said, pointing to the vanity table I'd seen her at earlier.
"Alright, thank you," I smiled and walked over, ordering an iced caramel latte from the coffee bar and taking a chocolate chip muffin from the table, eating it while I waited for my coffee. I finished the food by the time I received my drink, then went over to the chair at Sarah's makeup table.
"Alright. We're going to be doing some loose, messy curls and then Julie will do your makeup for you, alright? Shouldn't take too long," She smiled to which I nodded in reply and she went to work on my hair while I sipped from my drink, "And Harry wants to get some candid shots of you getting ready for your first shoot, so he'll be over in a few minutes,"
Sarah went to work with curling my hair once the iron heated then sprayed periodically with the hairspray as I squeezed my eyes shut to avoid getting the aerosol in my eyes. I continued drinking from my cup, feeling the cool liquid trail down my throat, quenching the thirst I've had since I woke up this morning. After a little bit Harry came over, taking some pictures as I was being styled, continuing into when Julie started to do my makeup, making it obvious that I was wearing some, but still looking natural.
"Alright, Ella, let's get you into the first outfit. We're going for pure angel. We've got the white, classic set. So go ahead and change back there," Harry instructed, pointing me to where a curtain-covered changing area was set up and a lady was standing with a rack of bras and panties, waving me over with my white set in her hands.
I was rushed over and got behind the curtain, changing into the set while I looked into the mirror, sliding a hand over my stomach to as I observed myself in the mirror and tucked some hair behind my ears before exiting the curtain where I saw that Harry was directing people where to put things on set before his eyes flicked over to me and he paused, looking at me, his jaw dropping as I blushed and approached the set, barefoot, "Ella, you look... amazing," He complimented and I thanked him, "Okay, go take a seat on the stool over there in front of the backdrop," I followed his instruction and held my legs together as I tucked my hair over my right shoulder, "Jeremy, move the light toward me. A little more, stop. Perfect, Gina, that light back a littl- stop! That's perfect. Okay let's get ready, get me the Canon EOS-1D X DSLR so we can get started with the regular lens,"
Everyone cleared from the set and gathered around behind Harry while he smirked, winking at me when he held his camera up, "You ready to officially become an official Angel, Ella?" I nodded confidently and he counted down and I got into a pose, "3... 2... 1... He clicked the button and the first flash went off, "Give me sexy, innocent girl," I smirked and scrunched my hair in my right hand with my left arm across my lap as I leaned over, "That's it, perfect, babe," He complimented and he grinned when I bit my lip and continued switching poses.
We did a few more sets of lingerie before Harry decided he had enough to work with, after almost three hours of photos, outfits, hair changes, makeup changes, and set rearrangements. I changed back into my white tank top with a flannel, unbuttoned over it and a pair of ripped, denim shorts. I tugged my white vans onto my feet and stepped out of the dressing area, then headed over to where Harry had uploaded the photos and gone through, deleting the ones that didn't turn out at all and narrowed down one from each of the many outfits I'd tried on, "Ella, come go through these and tell me if there's any that you don't want in the magazine," He requested and I walked up to the Mac, which he told me was touch screen, and I began sliding through all of them. I was fine with all of them and told him, before he nodded and sent them in to the magazine director to order them for the print, "Okay. Tonight you have your first Victoria's Secret party. We have a dress for you that your assistant, Willow, will bring to your house tonight around four to get you ready and Julie along with Sarah will accompany him to do your hair and makeup,"
"Alright," I agreed, excitedly as he looked down at me with his smoldering green eyes.
"Do you have someone to accompany you as a date?" He asked.
I shook my head, denying his question, "I do not,"
"Okay, I will accompany you. I will be at your house at six to pick you up. The party starts at seven. Will you give me your number so I can tell you when I'm on my way?" Harry questioned, pulling out his phone.
"Sure," I said, passing him my phone while he passed me his and I entered my information before he sent me a text, making sure that I put in the right number, and he told me that he would see me tonight and I was free to leave. I grabbed my purse and slid my sunglasses on, "Bye, Harry, see you tonight," I waved and he walked over, leaving a lingering kiss on my cheek, making me blush, before I exited quickly, left with thoughts of how tonight would go.
