Who says you need a studio and high tech cameras to carry out a glamorous photoshoot?
Student Elsa Papa grabbed a bunch of her friends, an iPhone, and headed to the local supermarket to get the job done.
The 22-year-old from the University of Aberdeen went to a new Lidl store and posed away in aisles holding props such as milk and sitting next to bottles of wine. As you do.
Elsa, who took the snaps on her iPhone 7 Plus, said the opening of Lidl had delighted Aberdeen students and become a ‘big talking point’.
Elsa and three of her friends wanted to celebrate the cheap and cheerful supermarket where they have become regulars.
They were delighted with how the pictures came out and Elsa was encouraged by her mum to send the photos to Lidl.
If she does decide to send them to the supermarket head office then who knows, we might just be seeing the students in other Lidl stores.
‘I asked a few of my friends if they wanted to do a big photo shoot at Lidl. They were all up for it, so we all chose outfits that we thought were striking,’ Elsa told The Tab.
‘I just thought it would be a good idea because since Lidl has opened here, it has been a big talking point.
‘It’s near the student houses and it’s nice and cheap, everything is just fresh. Therefore, the photo shoot was just the perfect fit.’
Elsa, who studies English literature and German, added: ‘It was so funny doing this. I had no idea what I was even saying or doing.
‘At one point I was saying strange stuff like ‘put your leg there’ just because it looked good in the shot.
‘I’m so surprised how well the pictures turned out.
‘The portrait mode on my iPhone 7 plus was really good, we just had some fun and wanted to be carefree.’
Elsa has never been into photography but her mum thinks she should send her pictures to Lidl.
She said: ‘I showed my mum the pictures and she said “they are great, you should send them to Lidl”.
‘I just laughed and told her that it’s a big company I doubt they would need my pictures. But it was nice of her.’
We wonder what the other customers thought of the whole shoot.
