Wildest Dreams - Lashton | COMPLETED

Nineteen

  The following day, Luke was in a car, on his way to Marc's office. The buisness man didn't lose time and imediatly offered the young blonde a contract for his brand. His first photoshoot was for a perfume ad that should go online in the next week, giving a small taste to his clients about the new fragrance that will be available in a few months. 

Marc Ross was impressed with Luke's modeling skills and promised himself to never replace him. Luke is young and has a look that sells well. Some will be put off because of his lip piercing but it's not as disturbing as a tattoo in the middle of his forehead. The black ring is small and settle. His blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes makes up for the rebelious body jewel.

Luke slipped on the white shirt with the help of Marc's styling assistant, making sure it hung nicely on his body. He kept telling her he could do the buttons himself but she insisted, claiming it was her job. A petite man rushed over to arrange his 'messed-up' hairstyle and another came for the makeup touch ups. 

The space was crowded with people and the shoot hasn't started yet...

Another woman handed him a bottle of perfume that had the Marc's name on it and the name of the fragrance. Luke had a whiff at it this morning and it wasn't bad. It's not something he's used to but it smelled great. The bottle was dark blue with a white and silver lettering. 

''The color of the bottle with make your eyes stand out, this is brilliant,'' exclaimed Marc as he stared at Luke, making everything was to his liking. He had a proud smile on his lips, visioning the kind of picture he wants for the add before informing the photographer and Luke of what he was aiming for.

''I don't see how he made it, he looks kinda boring,'' said a guy's voice from the team. It was only a whisper, Luke couldn't make out who it was. He chose to ignore the negative comment, telling himself the guy must be jealous. ''He's too average.'' 

''Clovis, stop staring at the ceiling and swep away the filming area,'' called the photoshoot director. ''I don't want to see these fluff balls in my framing!'' 

Luke snickered as the guy hurried with his broom in his hand, dustpan in the other. He can say dirt about the young model, he's still gonna be the broom guy. 

''I neet this white wall to be more brightened and bring the relfectors so the light and white reflect together,'' he added, looking trough the small screen of his camera, checking his framing.

Contrarly to most men fragrances, Marc decided to not integrate a woman in the framing. At least, not for this campain. All he wanted was his new found model and the bottle of perfume. Nothing else. The navy blue of the glass bottle needs to reflect with Luke's eyes and stand out on the picture. 

''Luke, you can go now, we're gonna start soon,'' said Marc, walking past him, about to gain his seat beside the director. behind the big computer screen linked to the camera.

They started off with simple shots, following the photoshoot plan/drafts but it wasn't doing it. The director was satisfied but Luke insisted he could do better than a simple spraying himself shot. It's too basic for him. The man was unsure but Marc told him to continue and roll with it, see where it goes. 

He unbuttoned the collar of his white button up, standing under the light, holding the bottle a few inches from his chest, looking down then up, spraying (it was filled with water for the photoshoot to not make the room smell too strong) and looking up when the camera clicked. Just like Marc wanted, both shades of blue poped on the picture and it was impressive how well it worked. 

For the next, Luke went for the sexy bite and bit his lip as he made a sexy stare for the camera, his blue eyes, once again, standing out of the picture.
