Amy Barnard After Her Gok Wan Makeover For Reveal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When part-time Nursery Assistant and mother of three Amy Barnard saw an article in Reveal magazine looking for someone who didn\u2019t have a typical model’s figure and height, but was photogenic, she went for it.<\/p>\n

Amy, 30, told us: \u201cMy mum was always saying I take a lovely photo so I thought I had nothing to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Amy – who is 5\u20196\u201d, a size 14, and has no previous modelling experience, with her children having been her main focus – doesn\u2019t have the \u2018typical model look\u2019. But as she soon discovered, curves look fabulous behind the camera and Amy\u2019s stunning plus-sized figure is becoming more in demand each day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many pretty girls out there that modelling never really came in my head. Also I am a bigger girl at a size 14, that I wasn’t sure how I would photograph in clothes. But I must say now I have seen my pictures in the magazine I am pleasantly pleased with the results. I feel like they could be in a plus size catalogue,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Continuing, Amy told us more about her first taste of modelling. \u201cWhen I arrived at the London studios after introductions and finding my bearings,\u00a0I was straight in to hair and makeup. After a\u00a0brief\u00a0look at my outfits I met the photographers, who then got me posing and smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had 5 outfit changes and through the 4th outfit Gok Wan walked in. I tried not to seem starstruck,\u201d Amy laughed, \u201che was so lovely though, just as he comes across on TV. We had a brief chat, and he told me I looked gorgeous and had fabulous curves. We then had a photo together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved getting the makeover, I felt really special and was well looked after. I felt like a princess for the day, and would love for it to happen again,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

After the shoot, Amy told us that the photographer and head of fashion features at Reveal said she \u201cseemed a natural and very comfortable in front of the camera\u201d and encouraged her to peruse a modelling career.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s exactly what she did \u2013 shortly after her encounter with celebrity fashion guru Gok Wan, Amy got in touch with Talent Management<\/a>, one of Europe\u2019s leading modelling and talent agencies.<\/p>\n

With such a great look and ability to represent real women worldwide<\/a>, Talent Management quickly put Amy on their books.<\/p>\n

So which direction does Amy now see her modelling career taking with Talent Management? \u201cAnything to come out of this would be a bonus; I didn\u2019t think two months ago I would have been modelling in a magazine with Gok Wan. But if I had to choose a preference to where my career may go, I would say catalogue modelling would be fab; to represent the average sized women.\u201d<\/p>\n

With gorgeous curves, a natural ability in front of the camera, and a Gok Wan photoshoot already under her belt, the modelling assignments team<\/a> at Talent Management think they\u2019ll be seeing a lot more of Amy in the future, so watch this space!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
