her smile is so beautiful

Confessions of a backstage photographer - by Mark Reay
So once again Tanya Dziahileva - the happiest teenager in modelling - was a delight to see, and she was everywhere this season. Once I heard some strange sounds coming out of a group of photographers who were shooting her while she was getting her hair done. She was laughing and full of life- I didn’t fight the crowd and shot some other girls while I waited until the photographers moved on.
Tanya got up and smiled at me and I asked for a photo and she replied: “yes but you MUST"... and then she put her hand in front of my lens, and continued ..."you must meow like a kitten while shooting the photo otherwise no picture!" I laughed and meowed and her hand came away from the lens. Then it dawned on me the sound I had heard earlier: like four grown men meowing like kittens around a bowl of milk, while holding their cameras.
A few days later while I was standing in the crowd watching a show, Tanya walked down the runway, pounding her heals into the cat walk, staring into the pit of photographers at the end of the runway without blinking, - dominating the runway. She got to the end of the platform- stopped posed, hands on hips a very confident look on her face and just before she turned, I shouted "MEOW!" I swear she smiled and people around me thought I was some crazy fool.
I wish I saw her more than just 2 weeks out of the year, but that’s better than nothing.
