The lessons taught in modeling school- I believe are beneficial to anyone ( aspiring model or not!) So here are my favorite tips overall :) I cover skincare/makeup, dressing for your body type, and personal development!
PSA for the girlies who want to try model schools / camps: do your research 👏👏 Many of them teach you that exploitation (and even trafficking) are normal practices. They are not. An actual gig would not involve modeling in underwear, cold weather / water and other dangerous conditions without a bulletproof contract protecting your interests and a fair compensation. The photographer MUST provide a space to change even on walk-around-the-city shoots, there are portable changing tents that are as light weight as a reflector that your photographer is already carrying around. A professional modeling teacher / agent / photographer will never be overtly friendly / touchy / sleazy, they’ll stick to the traditional boundaries and respect yours whatever those may be. Don’t be afraid to walk away when things don’t feel right. Stay safe out there 😘 EDIT: Remembered that professional lingerie and nude shoots have an intimacy coordinator on set and provide flesh-colored body tape for your privates, even when you’re wearing underwear anyway, both for your comfort and easy editing. Also, if a *real* photographer does nude photography, it’s all about showing off their lighting skills aka the majority of the body is barely visible since it’s the outline that they’re after. These are the *only* acceptable nude shots in your photographer’s portfolio, otherwise they’re working for *cough* another *cough* industry. ALWAYS GOOGLE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER’S PORTFOLIO PRIOR TO THE SHOOT
Thank you for saying this. I’m pretty sure she said in the comments that the school is Barbizon and that has been a known scam. I hope she thrives, but I also worry because so many of those schools are scams (as someone who went to one of those schools-Millenia Modeling Agency). They do not have the models’ best interests at heart.
@@nikkicrisp8563 I still have my notes (left after three classes) and it’s legit grooming. And they called me (15 at the time) an up stuck nerd for questioning the necessity of always being “camera-ready” and used examples of tweens doing lingerie shoots abroad to make their logic not seem totally absurd. I think I need to make a lingerie edit now that I’ve remembered.
i try to use very few products for my skin care routine so i don’t rely on it for the rest of my life not to be dramatic, but maybe i’ll try this because im also a beginner in modeling
Hi been modeling for 20+ years... while modeling school is a nice idea they just take ppls money. Any modeling you learn is on the job or information provided to you by your agency :/
I’m 5’2 so I don’t think they’d even let me in the doors, so thanks for the info! Edit: the body types were so much more helpful than the fruit method. Knowing I’m an x and not a pear is life changing!
Not everyone's shoulders are wider than their hips. There are several different body types. But the pear body type is where your hips are wider than your shoulders, the hourglass body type is where your shoulders and hips are approximately the same width, and the inverted triangle body type is where your shoulders are the widest part of your body.
