my Polaroid photoshoot review.

On Oct 13th I got on my first train ride from Newport Beach to Encinitas, on my way for a a whole new experience. I was chosen to be a model for the Polaroid new ad campaign. This was an unexpected blessing with no idea what was in store for me. From Encinitas I road tripped to Joshua Tree with photographer Dean Bradshaw and adventurist, new friend, Vanessa Stone. After driving through what looked like a deserted city with little life, We pulled up to a bright purple house. I walked through the gate and next thing I knew I was looking at six made-over, themed trailers and a crowd of hippies, and fashionistas. One by one, as the day went on, I began to meet and grow friendships with each person. Everyone with their own completely beautiful personality. I have never been around so many amazing people with such different lifestyles, yet all so positive like me! All the photographers had a different style and keen eye for what shot they needed. All the shoots were different; energetic running, hula hooping, group dancing, flirting, shooting bow and arrows, screaming, and every shot showing that each person had something beautiful and unique to show. It was an unimaginable experience that I would love to do again and again. It helped that it was so organized yet free spirited. Everyone choosing their own pose, person to shoot with, outfit and setting. This was defiantly worth while, and I couldn't be happier.. Can;t wait to see the shots around the world.- Mandyjane
