Who She Is When the Screen Turns On

Back in July 2020, during the peak of lockdown, I had the privilege of doing a FaceTime photoshoot with Gibson. The session was simple, raw, and authentic. That is exactly what being a Bare Model represents. We stripped away the extras and focused on what makes Gibson naturally beautiful. There was nothing performative about it. Just a screen, good light, and a woman comfortable enough to show up as she was.

Fast forward to now. Gibson has since moved to Los Angeles, and this shoot marks our first time photographing her since the move. The setting is different. The chapter is different. The honesty is the same. This Bare Model photoshoot in Los Angeles was about meeting her where she is now, settled into a new city and more at ease in her own skin. No filters. No retouching. Nothing hidden.

Once again, she showed why she is not just a model, but a Bare Model. The distance between moments disappeared. What remained was presence. The kind you cannot fake and do not need to explain.
