Zaria Bell
Child Lifestyle & Commercial Model
told from Hobart, Tasmania
Zaria is five years old, believes every puddle is there for a reason, and has never once been asked to smile for a camera - she gets there first. She started modelling at three when a photographer friend of the family needed a small person to wear a knitted jumper in an orchard, and the frames from that afternoon are still the ones people stop on.
little jobs, big adventures
Her book reads like a storybook, which is how we like it: spring blossom in the apple trees, yellow gumboots in an autumn paddock, flour on her nose at the kitchen bench, and her very first snow, caught mid-snowball. She's a natural for lifestyle and kidswear work - anything outdoors, anything with mud or weather in the brief, and anything that lets her actually play rather than pose.
notes from this season

A Book With Seasons in It
Most kids' portfolios are organised by job. Zaria's is organised by weather, and it turns out casting directors quite like flipping through a year.

The First Snow Session
We flew to Canada to visit family in November. Zaria had never seen snow. A photographer friend tagged along for an hour, and that hour is now half her book.

Shoot Days With Dad
Every job Zaria has ever done, her dad has been three metres out of frame doing the world's most dedicated warm-up act. A note on how we actually get the giggle.
