Fresh Faced: Lisa Watts

I love it when a girl's portfolio is just full of polaroids and digitals (read: Meghan Collison's original portfolio with Supreme)! Yes, eventually you need to see test shots in order to understand how a particular model photographs, and to build her portfolio. However, the polaroid, introductory stage seems to be so egregiously overlooked (or at least hidden from the viewing public) by some agencies, leaving only an airbrushed, over-edited version of that model. This is precisely why it was so refreshing to come across Elite Copenhagen's (in partnership with Scandinavian Models, of course) Lisa Watts this afternoon.

I suppose I should disclose that I am indeed a sucker where redheaded models are concerned, and Lisa is no exception. Speaking of redheads, is anyone else getting the strongest 'Maggie Rizer reincarnate' vibe the more they look at Lisa? It's definitely apparent in fullness of her cheeks and shape of her eyes. Similarities aside, Lisa's auburn hair makes those bright blue eyes sparkle, and seems to perfectly frame her face shape.




Did I mention that Lisa is also equipped with a 5'11" frame and a quite enviable set of 33-23-33 measurements? She may look like Maggie Rizer's little sister, but Lisa Watts is definitely a girl with enough raw potential to stand on her own. Isn't it wonderful what a handful of natural (not to be confused with softly lit, woodlands shots) images can do to really demonstrate the potential of a particular model?
