Uhhh fashion sense… I’m not sure how to respond to this but uhhhm, I really like European style fashion, I lived in Europe for a little bit and the people there know how to dress, they can take clothings and pieces that doesn’t necessarily go together and make it work, I like to see when people get creative in their dressing, especially with colors.

4)There are many doing what you do what makes you different from all the rest?

Honestly, I don’t know what makes me different from the rest, it could be the way I process my images, it can be the angles I shoot from or the way I set up my lighting. What I do know is every time I go out to shoot my main goal is to have fun and to make sure my clients do too.

5)Name 3 things you hate when doing a photo shoot with a model?

1: I hate when people know they’re going to be late and don’t notify me

2: I hate when 2 and 3 persons are telling the model what to do and what not to do, it annoys me and it confuses the model!

3: I hate when models when off in the middle of shooting to check their phones and or put updates of their every move.

6)When not working what do you enjoy doing?

Mostly chilling out at the studio with my team/ friends, or playing a game of dominoes or going to the movies and other regular stuff that doesn’t include photography.

Hmmm… I get to meet a lot of people (mostly girls) uhhm, in some cases I get people to feel more confident about themselves, but the thing that always put a smile on my face is at the end of the job when the client(s) comes back I say “I love the results or I love what you did…”

10)If you was given 1 ticket to do a photo shoot any where in the world where would you choose and why?

That’s a tough one… hmmm I already did a few shoot in Europe but I think I would go back there, because I really like the ancient feel of it, the architecture of a lot of the buildings especially those made from stone etc…

11)Tell us all about how you got started to this very day?

Well basically I have to thank my family for it, I actually use to do graphic designing and sometimes finding the right images was a difficult task… Then I received a little point and shoot camera from my gf for my birthday and was snapping away at everything for the the fun of it… Then my family hooked me up with my first DSLR, was a canon rebel! Used that for about 3 or 4 years! Majority of my work was done with that camera… entry level camera.

I think it cool! Especially since you guys recognize us here in the little islands, giving us some exposure out there in the big world, or just exposure period.

13)What do you think of men who teaches women to walk/pose?

Well I myself sometimes have show these girls how to pose for some shots… So as a photographer I think it is important for me… a man to know what I want from a model and to be able to illustrate it if she is having a hard time especially when the shots are for personal use. As for the walking part, I can’t comment to much on it but I it’s the same concept.

14)What cologne are you wearing as we speak?

Oh if anybody smell me right now, their nose is going to be wealthy. I have one “1 million”.

15)If the Fashion Police was to have dinner at your home what dish would you prepare?

Confidence! Practice! Research!

18)If the Fashion Police was to be a fly on your bedroom wall what would they be shock to see?

The mess! Lol

Well if photography is something you want to get into make sure you do a lot of reading, research, watch a lot of tutorials and then try out different things, create your own style.

For sure I got to big up my photoBro Jose Williams! Dude is a beast when it comes to lighting… We always shoot together… well whenever we have free time.

Sexy Ms Natalia Richardson Speaks To The Fashion Police In London Town!!!!!!

Ms Natalia Richardson....All rounded Model and an aspiring creative director

1)Please tell us who you are and what you do for those not familiar with you?

My name is Natalia Richardson. I'm from Holland but I'm currently residing in St. Maarten for 5 years now. I'm an all-rounded model and an aspiring creative (photo shoot) director.

2)Describe your fashion sense?

My fashion sense is a European Girl mixed with an Island Girl flavor. I like more natural and dark colors. But I love to stay up to date with fashion. Because of my height (5'5) I love to wear short dresses/shorts/high waisted skirts with covered tops to elongate my legs.

3) What 3 words best describe you as a person?

I'd say Motivational because I love to motivate other people to express their talents and be fully confident with who they are. Social because I'm a very outgoing person that wouldn't act stuck up. And last but not least I'd would say Feminine because I believe in embracing my feminine side by being classy, girly and fabulous!. 

4) What perfume are you wearing as we speak?

Guilty by Gucci which is one of my fave's!

5) In your eyes what makes a good and bad model?

A good model is someone that is always willing to learn and get better by research and practice. I also think a good model should be reputable, because many people will be looking up to you, you should be a great model as well as a great ROLE model. A bad model is someone that relies on their looks and doesn't put in any effort to get a great shot. 

6)Please tell us all about how you started till this very day?

I started unprofessionally when I was 14 years old. I just did photo shoots with my own clothes for fun and kept practicing. I watched every fashion/modeling tv show know to man to get better and better. Then I was asked to be a Teen Times model (The Daily Herald Newspaper) which really helped me branch out. By the age of 16 I was modeling for boutiques and fashion shows. Now that I'm 18 I'm actually travelling for photo shoots and fashion shows. 

7)If you was to walk the red carpet which designer would you wear and why?

I would kill to wear Versace. I love Gianni Versace's dresses. I strongly believe that men know what looks better. ( I know that sentence might get me in trouble!)

8)If you was given 1 ticket to fly any where what destination would you fly to and why?

I would love to go to Greece. I think Greece is beautiful. White buildings, blue sky and beautiful beaches. I mean its like an island with classic architecture.

9)Who are your 4 best friends you would ride and die for?

#1 my boyfriend Romeo Arrendell who is my boyfriend and bestfriend. #2 is Oneida who has been my friend since I was a lil nerdy girl. She's like a sister to me. #3 is my friend Christiana Guttierez who has been my friend since kindergarden in Holland. Despite the distance we keep in contact. #4 who is actually #1 is GOD. He has done great things for me that are too numerous to mention!

10)What do you think of the Fashion Police News Blog?

I love love the blog. I've been going through the blog ever since I heard about it. I myself used to write in a Fashion Police section for Teen Times. So I definitely love it.

11)What do you think of men who teaches women to walk?

I love it. Like I've mention before I think men do know what looks better. That rule even goes for my eyebrows! I only let men shape them.

12)What would you say is your best assets?

My best assets would be my lips which are full and heart shaped and my legs because they're long even though I'm 5'5.

13)What are 4 things men do that makes you mad?

#1 LIE c'mon men, we see right through those lies! #2 I hate a cocky man who think the world evolves around them. Ladies love attention and affection put the spotlight on them your credit will come after. She'll surely appreciate it.#3 Pssttt <- That need to stop.#4 I hate it when men don't care about their appearance. Makes me automatically feel like you have no future or goals. You won't treat me right because you don't treat yourself right. 

14)If you was given the chance to do a shoot with 4 other models from the island who would you choose and why?

I would pick Chelsea Douglas because she really knows her angles. Leysha De La Rosa because she's just a natural. Nadika Matthew because she has a unique look and a spunky/confident attitude. Last but not least I would pick Juliana Lake because for a young girl she knows exactly what she's doing.

15)If the fashion police was to be a fly on your bedroom wall what would they be shock to see?

You'd be shocked to see that I have a lot of books and notepads. I love to read and write. I'm really still a nerd on the inside.

16)What music would have you running to the dance floor to make you shake that booty?

Dancehall for sure. But in general I love all music. My itunes is a confusion!

17)What advice do you have for other young ladies looking to walk into your footsteps?

Don't you EVER give up. If someone tells you NO, you're speaking to the wrong person! You can definitely do everything you set your mind to. As too walking in my footsteps? You better love to rock some heels! 

18)What are the 3 worse chat up lines you ever heard from a guy?

#1 I told a guy that I had a boyfriend and he told me he had a math test. So I was like "Uhmm. What does that have to do with anything?" He said: "I thought we were mentioning things we can cheat on. #2 "I love you the same way how Jesus love the little children" =|... #3 "I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make your Bed Rock.

19)How can someone reach you for upcoming work and future projects?

They can contact me on facebook: Natalia Richardson https://www.facebook.com/pages/Natalia-Richardson/199351423553015 or contact me by email at nataliarichardson1995@gmail.com

I just would like to thank The Catwalk Proffessor of course for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed on his blog. I want to shout out my partner in crime Kamal Defreitas, who is literally someone I see eye to eye with. We both want to go to the next level so we're climbing together.
