She’s usually showing off her glamorous figure and the latest fashions in front of the camera.
But Gigi Hadid switched things up on Tuesday when she became the principal photographer at an outdoor photo shoot in Brooklyn.
As she wasn’t the focus of the shoot, the 26-year-old model got to rock out in an ultra-casual double denim ensemble.
Behind the lense: Gigi Hadid, 26, flipped the script and went behind the camera on Tuesday for a photoshoot in Brooklyn in which she rocked a low-key double denim ensemble.
Gigi appeared to be in a neighborhood without too much foot traffic as she set up the photoshoot.
She was seen walking onto the set in a long denim shirt that hung loosely on her slender frame and nearly swallowed up her arms with its voluminous sleeves.
She kept it only partially buttoned over her midriff and paired it with lighter acid wash cut-off jeans highlighting her toned legs.
The 5ft10in beauty kept to the casual theme with a set of black high-top sneakers that she wore with tall white socks scrunched up at her ankles.

Eventually, the afternoon heat appeared to get to Gigi as she took off her shirt to reveal a black graphic tank top underneath and multiple necklaces, including a string of cowrie shells.
At first, she draped her denim shirt over her shoulder, but when that became unwieldy she tied it around her torso.
The catwalk star blocked out the sun when she wasn’t shooting with a stylish pair of military-style square aviator sunglasses.
She opted for as little fuss as possible when it came to her hair and tied her golden brown tresses up in a messy bun.
During the shoot, the sister of Bella Hadid stopped to apply some white splotches of sunblock on her cheeks, just below her eyes.
