Okay, so today I wanted to find really striking examples of Françoise Laurent’s modeling work for inspiration. Let me walk through exactly how I did it, because honestly, it wasn’t as smooth as I expected.
Starting Off Clueless
First, I just typed “Françoise Laurent model photos” straight into a regular search engine. Boom – tons of stuff came up, but man, it felt like digging through a thrift store bin. Random fashion blog snippets, Pinterest pins with dead ends, tiny low-res images that looked like they were scanned from 2003. Frustrating.
Narrowing Things Down
I realized I needed specifics. Scrolled through her agency profiles online and noted major campaigns she did:
- That high-end jewelry collab from last winter
- The eco-linen brand campaign shot in Portugal
- Her runway walk for that one designer everyone talks about
Armed with those keywords, I tried searching again – “Françoise Laurent Portugal campaign” or “Françoise Laurent jewelry ads”. Better, but still no “wow” shots.
Social Media Detours
Hopped onto photography platforms next. Searched her name on photography community sites and model portfolio hubs. Bingo! Found a few pro photographers who tagged her in their project galleries. Saw some moody editorial shots I’d never seen before – strong natural light, intense close-ups. Saved a couple screenshots straight to my ideas folder.
Magazine Deep Dive
Remembered she was featured in some niche print magazines. Went to online magazine archives and typed her name + the magazine titles. Flipped through digital issues like a madman. Some spreads had stunning full-page shots – artsy angles, great styling. Took notes on which photographers styled her best in print versus commercial stuff.
Putting It All Together
By the end, I learned you gotta hunt in layers:
- Searching just her name = messy
- Photographers’ own galleries = gold
- Specific campaign names + magazine credits = those iconic shots
Now my references folder is packed with her strongest work – minimalistic portraits, dynamic movement shots, even some behind-the-scenes raw stuff. Took half a day, but totally worth finally seeing her range.
