London-based photographer Steve Read shot Next model Lindsay in the privacy of his own living room. Even without the elaborate set-up of a studio location, Read was able to capture some amazing shots.

Read explains, “It goes to show that sometimes the most [simple situations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) can create the most compelling images. I think the fun we had on the day really comes through in the pictures, it’s always nice to see models smile.” Indeed, Lindsay is grinning from ear to ear in almost every photo; her megawatt smile is enough to brighten even the most overcast day.

Whether she's posing with a [rubber ducky](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onda-apartment) or playfully sticking her tongue out, Lindsay's [youthful energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play) is super infectious.
