This unusual shot with a modern twist features Miss Gibraltar 1994, Melissa Galliano (née Berllaque). Phtographed by Jayden Fa, with make-up by Deepak Ramchandani, and hair by Nieves from Colours Salon, this photo is extremely striking. The spectacular outfit by Ismael Lopez is an elegant, modern, Spanish influenced design, and makes the shot particularly glamorous. “I like the emotion portrayed in the shot, and once the session was complete, felt it was the right one to include in the calendar,” Jayden explains. The team wanted to create the glamour of the 1920s, with a modern feel. The session took place at the train station, in the picturesque town of San Roque, in nearby Spain. The train line was opened originally at the end of the 19th century, maintaining a certain air of mystery, where time seems to stand still. “For the make-up, I wanted to go for a classic, glamorous, 1920s look, and I’m really please with the completed look, full of style,” Deepak explains.
