REFERENCE FOR LOOK OF SHOOT - TIM BARBER FOR AIR BNB
VEE WALKER - AIR BNB HOST - AUCKLAND
Vee is 60 years old, but doesn't look a day over 45. She works as a commercial cleaner in Auckland (and is moving her Friday work so the day is clear for photography) Vee lives in Papatoetoe, in South Auckland, and her house is currently being painted, in part with proceeds from hosting. She is very close to her whanau (family and friends) and her Maori identity and culture are an important part of her life.
When I visited she had a Canadian air bnb guest, Ryan, overnighting after his 7 week trip around New Zealand. When Vee has guests staying on a Friday evening, she takes them to the local night markets for cheap eats.
She walks around Totara Park most mornings (her daily exercise) but does not have any dogs or pets she walks with.
Vee is 1.63cm (5'4") and is size 16-18 in clothing (12-14 US)

WARDROBE STYLING - FITTING
See below the fitting with Vee. Nothing but patterns in her wardrobe ;-) we've included some at the end to give you an idea.
We've kept necklines bare and hair back so you can see cut - but obviously will have scarves etc on day.
Her favourite shoes are the ones worn - she has in dark & light.
Awaiting feedback.
