Choosing a companion is less about photographs than about the occasion. The right companion for a quiet dinner may not be the right one for a Grand Prix weekend. A few questions help.
What is the setting?
A formal gala, a business dinner, a beach club and a yacht each ask for a different temperament. Think about the dress code, the people you will be with and the rhythm of the occasion — one evening or several days.
What will you talk about?
If the evening includes guests, colleagues or a long dinner, conversation matters as much as anything. Profiles that mention a background in the arts, travel or business, or the languages a companion speaks, are a good guide.
Will you be seen?
If press or photographers may be present, say so. Some companions are comfortable in front of a camera; others prefer not to be photographed. A private introduction or the VIP collection may suit you better.
Is travel involved?
For trips, choose a companion who travels — her profile lists the cities she visits — and allow time to plan flights and accommodation.
Ask for advice
The simplest approach is often to describe the occasion and ask for a suggestion. A good team knows its companions and will tell you honestly who would suit it.
