Obsessed with our model Taii Gordon!!
Models take control
When a photographer handed over her camera to a group of young models, the girls relished the new taste of creative freedom.

'I was scouted in Topshop when I was 15. It was pure luck - it wasn't the kind of shop I normally hung around in. I had a slightly "different" style. I was wearing baggy jeans with a big Puffa jacket and trainers. My hair was blue and I had barely-there eyebrows and a nose piercing. Being asked to be a model was the last thing on my mind.
So it was cool that I was able to incorporate some of my own style in these pictures; normally that's all stripped away.
Getting into character on a shoot is like acting at times, but I also keep an aspect of me in there or it can get a little tiring on a nine-to-five day of shooting.
I come from a big family and whenever we take pictures at home not one will be serious. That's always helped me be less inhibited in front of the camera. For this project I was just acting as if I was fooling around at home. I wanted to do that instead of stony-faced poses. Modelling doesn't mean having to take yourself seriously all the time.'
