after her *interesting* encounter with Eliza at the playboy mansion Svea had given up even trying to talk to Heff. She was ready to give up
when she saw an ad in the paper for a photographer's assistant. She didn't know much about photography, but she was organized… She forwarded
*was hoping that someone would see his ad online*
her resume with various tasks she'd done in school, or back in Sweden and hoped for the best.
((wait was that all one post?))
*waited hopefully as he cleaned his camera*
*clicked send on an e-mail with her information to the photographer and hoped he would respond*
*checked his email and smiled as he responded that she should come in for a interview and trial run*
*practically screamed out in joy when she got the response. She put on her most professional suit and rushed the entire way there*
*hope she was what he was looking for, the spring shoots would begin soon and he needed the help*
*had no idea who he was, and found herself researching his work on her phone as she walked to the door to knock*
*politely opened the door* "Konichiwa." *he bowed politely* "Am I safe to assume you are here for your interview, hai?"
*flushed, and quickly put her phone with the pornographic pictures in to her jacket* Hello… yes.
"Please come in, I have some questions for you." *he studied her and he to admit she looked a bit familiar*
*nodded and silently followed him in*
*leads her to his sitting area* "Would you care for some tea?"
"Yes please." *smiled politely and sat down with her legs folded neatly to one side*
*gently poured them both a cup of tea. handing her, hers* "Now please tell me your experience you have in this field."
*held the teacup in her lap as she tried to think of what to say, and force herself to speak clearly* "I… have no experience with
ph'tography… but I work'd as an assistant 'n Sweden, an' am a secretary f'r th' ec'nomics club at school."
"Ah...now you are aware of what type photography this is, hai?"
*nodded, hoping her cheeks didn't flush too darkly. At least this was more respectable than being in the pictures* "Yes."
"You are also comfortable with it, hai. I mean if I ask you to assist one of my clients in posing correctly , you could help her into the-
correct position in a quick manner?"
*nodded again; she'd worked with enough assistants in the past that it shouldn't be too difficult*
"Okay that is encouraging. Now I will allow you a trial of sorts. The heads of pornographic companies such as Heffner-san ask for certain-
themes in their shots. So I will assign you a theme and see how well you set it up."
*nervously nodded, hoping she would be able to put together a set that was suitable*
*smiles lightly at her and leads her to his set and a large pile of props and scenery* "Okay, the Valentines season is the next large-
shoot for me. Will you please set it up in a way you think that would please Heffner-san and the others."
*timidly walked towards the box and pulled everything out to make a mental inventory before unfolding a set of pink sheets*
*watched her curiously as he sipped his tea*
*moved towards a large bed next to white walls and draped the sheets over it, then tossed a few petals over it, followed by a large stuffed*
*bear. She tied a red ribbon around his neck before standing up and looking over it in thought*
"Are you still working on it?"
"I… if the walls were brown… an' th' models could lay on th' bed with their hair out, an…"
*trailed off in thought, looking at it like it were interior design, or a painting, as she moved the sheets and petals just-so*
*nod* "That is true..but we need to work with what is available."
*nodded, but was more introspective than anything. She walked around and grabbed an antique styled floor lamp, carrying it towards the bed*-
"Th' animal's for cuter shots… but th' lamp adds… mature depth. It's got compl'mentary lines."
*nods* You do seem well skilled in this. May I ask why?"
"M' father did design… and I did some mod'ling…" *nearly whispered the last part, her cheeks flushing*
"Ah..modeling. Commercial or more clothing lines?"
"Hustl'r." *admitted begrudgingly and shoved her hands in to her pockets*
"Ah...that was why you seemed a bit familiar to me. I do not believe I have ever shot you but I have seen you at my shoots."
*nodded, thankful for that*
*smiles gently at her* "You do seem quite qualified for this position. I would like to offer it to you."
"Really?" *was practically jumping with joy*
