MIRANDA KERR knows only too well her face is her fortune, as photographers discovered this week at the David Jones fashion show.
The glamazon began barking commands to ''only shoot me with direct flash'', in order to thwart any nasty shadows being cast on her showcase face.
The news photographers, some of whom have covered war zones and world leaders, politely listened to the generous advice from the young model, though she did earn the nickname ''Flash Nazi'' afterwards.

Wednesday night's DJs extravaganza certainly set the scene for a promising night on the gossip radar, with an open champagne bar, towering glamazons and a gathering of this town's social fauna in all their finery. Sadly there was no sign of Mr Kerr (Orlando Bloom) on the night.
Backstage, Kerr had her own marquee erected so she could be preened away from the prying eyes of her fellow models, some of whom were put out when security guards commenced on-the-spot bag checks, with Tiah Eckhardt tweeting about the gaffa tape which had damaged her Yves Saint Laurent handbag.
No bag searches were being carried out inside Kerr's tent, which was resplendent with her own ''green room'' to receive her guests, which had been decked out in fresh flowers, comfy sofas and a well-stocked bar.
Only a handful of people were allowed in, including make-up artist Napoleon Perdis and hairdresser Renya Xydis. Inside, Kerr was busy pumping breast milk for her adorable seven-month-old son Flynn before hitting the catwalk.
