Whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it’s like-you just feel dumb. It’s just so stupid.
You know, everyone says, 'Modeling and acting are so similar'... they say, 'It's so natural for models to become actresses because they use the camera.' I don't think of it in that way.
I enjoy doing fashion shows and transforming myself into different looks for photo shoots.
Even someone as photographed and aware of the camera as members of the royal family needs to feel completely comfortable if they are to look their best.
I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.
My abs were my bread and butter in the U.K. - the calendars, the photoshoots, and all that came with it.
When it comes to photo shoots, there was a clear moment for me when I thought, 'I'm going to have to enjoy this because it's going to be a part of what I do.'
I was terrified. My first week, walking around in a teeny bikini, I kept crossing my arms over my chest because I was afraid I was going to fall out of the top of the suit. And I didn't know anything about technique or lighting.
When posing in lingerie, I suck everything in and pop my hip out a little bit. If you lie on your side and draw one knee in a bit, it makes you look more curvalicious.
At a shoot, I'm really aware of everything. When they do makeup, sometimes I can't see what they're doing, but I can feel it. I know what I look like, even when I can't see what they've done. I know how to compose myself.
Dressing up and doing photo shoots was a side of the industry I really didn't think I would like. But now I've got a glam squad; I love trying on new outfits and experimenting with different looks.
