Vestuario y estilismo para modelos principiantes (3)


Compagina el vestuario que vas a utilizar en una sesión de fotos o casting, considerando el fondo a utilizar, de modo que contraste en tonos y no se pierdan el uno sobre el otro. Por ejemplo, poco dice un fondo blanco y cuando vistes prendas blancas a la vez. Esto parece algo evidente y fácil de evitar, pero en algunas sesiones, con las prisas, cuando se está empezando, hay casos donde estos detalles se olvidan en la selección y/o procesado de las imágenes, dándonos cuenta que hemos perdido una buena oportunidad de fotos.

Consejos de vestuario y estilismo (2)


Prendas transparentes, atrevidas y ropa interior, no suelen ser combinaciones estéticas. Cuando se utilizan prendas que dejen ver o asomar la ropa interior (ya sea de frente o espalda), el resultado aunque resulte cómodo y práctico en la vida real, en fotografía y pasarela resulta poco estético, por lo que es mejor quitarse la ropa interior si realmente se busca o se quiere utilizar esa pieza de ropa, y en caso de no querer el modelo por pudor o por el motivo que sea, es mejor utilizar otra prenda de ropa que no transparente; insinuar o no, a elección del modelo, pero siempre con gusto y estética, no mezclemos las cosas.

Model Secrets


The main thing is quite obviously to look as good as possible! Now that is hardly a model secret, but what it means is that you must be on top form at all times. Often, a lot can be told of the quality and level of success by the state of her body grooming.
This includes feet being in great shape, filed, shaped, no cuticles, rough skin removed, with a clear or neutral polish - no need for coloured as often on shoots this will need to be removed. Hands must also be in good nick, once again bright nail polish is not needed, just a good level of maintenance. All body hair must be under control, meaning underarm, bikini and leg has to all but go within reason! Basically, you need to be in a constant state of preparation to take your clothes of at any point! This is not in a seedy way but in a professional one.

At many castings you may need to be seen in a bikini to check your body, and at shoots, clients don't have time to sort out manky unlooked after feet or bikini lines. It is unacceptable to arrive at any modeling related casting or job in less than a pretty much perfect state. Don't leave all of this until the last minute. You never know when you will have to leave the house for a casting for a great job or even for a direct booking for a trip. Do all of the above and you give yourself a fighting chance of being booked or rebooked.

Modeling is a professional job that you expect to be treated well and paid well for and in return you must provide a superior service as with any other job.

Other essentials are nude or flesh coloured bras (padded and none padded) and knickers and g strings. Most models wear then all the time as they are the most effective to be disguised under both white and coloured clothing. You should always carry them in your bag or wear them. Turning up in pink frilly knickers won't win you friends or clients!

Consejos de vestuario y estilismo para modelos principiantes (1)


Los accesorios como pulseras, pendientes, collares, gafas y similares, sin tener que eliminarlos por completo, sí que se deben utilizar con cuidado y mesura, principalmente para no llamar en exceso la atención y no convertirse en centro de interés, pues de lo contrario, restarían protagonismo al modelo. Los accesiorios excesivos pueden utilizarse sólo en fotografías publicitarias con el fin de promocionar dichos producto en concreto.

Así que en general, hay que usar los accesorios, pocos y discretos, que sean meros adornos para realzaer la figura del modelo sin restarle protagonismo...

Glamour Modeling


This is a whole side of the industry that I am not all that familiar with. However, this is for a reason as I decided very early on that I was not comfortable with baring my breasts in the name of fashion. Also, it became apparent that ‘glamour modeling’ was not all that ‘glamorous’! Cold studios, compromising positions and hot gossip for your old school friends never really appealed! However, some girls do have positive experiences and can crack the market, the most successful today being British glamour model Jordan (aka Katie Price). However, this (like a glamour fashion model) is very rare and I have noticed that most girls that start doing well from this field aim to move out of it and into something else (usually tv presenting for some reason?) ASAP! Please note the added safety and security risks of this line of modeling due to the nature of undressing for a living. Exercise triple vigilance!

Types of Modeling: Speciality Modeling


Speciality modeling

This could be legs, i.e. for stockings, feet, i.e. for shoes, hands i.e. for jewelery. I know a female leg model, a male hair model, a female foot model and a hand model. Almost any part of the body has the relevant specialists that are experts in making that small part of the body look as ‘perfect’ as possible. It can be very interesting if you can cope with the conversations you will inevitably have with new acquaintances who are confused about exactly what foot modeling is!
