There is more for a photo model than just looking good and having a huge collection of fashionable dresses.
Tip No. 1
Mental Preparation
Think about the topic of your next job. Which poses could you do? Do some research on the internet and fashion magazines. Train your poses in front of a mirror. Most photographers expect from you that you offer them a large variety of different poses. They just want to fine tune your posing but not tell you exactly what to do next. There should be no need for you to think about what pose you could do next. It should be a flow of poses. This can only be achieved by training. It also helps if you ask your friend to make photos while you pose. Yes, it probably will get funny but if you take it at least a little serious you can take a look at your poses afterwards and try to optimize them.
Tip No. 2
Hands and Face
Very often Models just think about the posture but neglect the face and hands. Don’t forget your facial expression. Try to express emotions like fear, rage, sadness or happiness just with your face. If you just smile on every image a potential client might think that you have a very limited repertoire of facial expressions and that you are only suitable for a limited kind of jobs. Also don’t forget your fingers. Look at the hands of ballet dancers. Do not squish them together. Always leave a bit of space. If you pose touching yourself with your fingers, imagine yourself being an extremely fragile piece of art. During a shooting you want to touch yourself or anything else with the slightest touch possible.
Tip No. 3![mirrored[1]](http://www.photomodels-no1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/mirrored1.jpg)
You should know your face’s better half
No face is symmetrical. You can easily find that out yourself. Take a portrait of yourself and copy it two times. Cut each copy vertically. One copy showing the left side only the other one showing the right side only. Now put those copies on the original image. So that it is mirror reflected. Now which side do you like more? This article says that most of the time it’s the left side. According to their study it turns out that the left side of the face registers more emotion than does the right side and for this reason observers may find the left side more aesthetically pleasing.
Tip No. 4![posing[1]](http://www.photomodels-no1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/posing1.jpg)
Strengthen your muscles and train your sense of balance
Posing is exhausting. Body tension is extremely important. If you look at photos you could think that most poses look very relaxed but in reality a model should always keep body tension. However as mentioned earlier your face and your hands should be relaxed. Not easy if you are not fit enough. A good model should be able to bend herself like a brezel, keep a pose over several minutes, still looking relaxed and doing that several hours. Can you do that?
Tip No. 5![makeup[1]](http://www.photomodels-no1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/makeup1.jpg)
Finger and Toe Nails, Teeth and Tongue
Learn how to care your finger and toe nails. Talk to the photographer before the shooting if the nails should look natural or be colorized. Nail polish should be applied before the shooting. Avoid chipped nail polish.
How about your teeth? They can be whitened digitally afterwards with ease but it doesn’t look very professional if you pose with food stuck between your teeth! And think about your tongue too. If you drink coffee before the shoot make sure to clean your tongue as well.

“I met Alexandra when she was just starting her first season in Paris. I was struck not only by her statuesque beauty, but also by how well-spoken she was. I always remember seeing her during fittings and before the shows reading, writing and being very friendly to everyone – she has a great personality. She is a contemporary beauty, very different; she could come from any country in the world!” -Jean Paul Gauliter Sydney, Australia native Alexandra Agoston was discovered at age fifteen while on holiday with her family in Paris.

Meluxine
I’m a science nerd trapped inside the body of a full-time professional model. For the last 6 years or so, I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best creatives from all over world, creating images that have been featured in magazines (real ones), books (real ones), exhibitions (cool ones), art and photography prizes (big prestigious ones), ad campaigns (billboards and crap) and fashion blogs (well-known ones). In short, I turn up in all sorts of weird places. Oh yeah, and despite the less-than-ideal-genetic-makeup, I’m also agency-signed.

OIL PULLING
WHAT IS OIL PULLING? Oil pulling is an old Ayuverdic technique where you swish the oil around in your mouth. You should be doing this every morning, straight after you wake up, for 20 minutes. I am sure you are telling yourself that you can’t imagine to hold something in your mouth for 20 minutes. I wasn’t either but try to start doing the oil pulling for 10 minutes (or 5 if 10 is a lot) and add 5 minutes after each week. You will see that it will be much easier for you to swish the oil in your mouth for 20 minutes. After those 20 minutes you split the oil to the toilet and you brush your teeth. If you are doing it correctly, you should immediately feel that something good is going on in your mouth. THE BENEFITS OF OIL PULLING : *white teeth (even if you are a smoker) *fresh breath (also in the morning) *healthy gums and no teeth plaque = no dentist *no toxins on your tongue and in your mouth (most of the toxins come in & out by mouth and feet) *heals headaches and migranes *You will feel fresh and “lighter” […]

Posing Tips for How to Look Your Best in Photographs
Rule one, the mirror is your BFF. Stand there, perfect your poses and learn how your body shapes. The mirror is a perfect tool to show you what the camera can see – try to imagine it behind your photographers head when shooting and always consider what can be seen from that angle. For example, if your foot is closest to the lens, it is worth remembering that your foot is going to the largest thing in the picture Create separation between your limbs from your body. Not only does it prevent the arm/leg from being squashed against you spreading out any fat, it is also an optical illusion for a slimmer appearance in terms of overall width. A basic cheat that makes a massive difference. Have a basic understanding of light. For example, if you raise an arm to the light, it could be a whole F-stop brighter in camera than your face (being the object closest to the source of light according to the inverse square law). It will also cast a shadow across you. You can counteract this by using your other arm (!)…or, move your arm a fraction backwards, away from the direct beam of light. […]

SHINY AND HEALTHY HAIR
I am sure that everybody wants to have shiny and healthy hair because hair is very important. Healthy hair and a good haircut can change a person to a completely different person, same as bad unhealthy hair and a wrong haircut. I have to say that I am one of the lucky ones, as my hair is healthy thank to my hairdresser but also because I am taking care of it. In this article I will tell you the basics about the hair care so all of you can be the lucky ones and feel prettier 🙂 . It’s been a few years that I am interested in Chinese and alternative medicine. I like to try new things and see what works and what doesn’t work. I have to admit that until now I am pretty impressed by the results. Everything I’ve learned is true (even if it’s difficult to admit and face the reality). Most of our health and beauty problems are caused by our psychical condition. According to the chinese medicine our hair depends on the health of our kidneys. As we all probably know,kidneys clean blood and they are removing the toxins that could harm our […]

4 Photo Shoot Tips for Models | Modeling
Learn how to have a successful photo shoot from model scout Trudi Tapscott in this Howcast video. Trudi: Hi, I’m Trudi Tapscott. Britt: And I’m Britt Bergmeister. Trudi: With model shoots, there are so many different variables going on that a model has to pay attention to. If you’re a beginner, it can be a little bit daunting because it’s not just about what you have to do for your job; there are a lot of things going on around you. So, when you go to a big shoot like that, for your first time, maybe it’s your first or second job, and you are really only focused on you; like what you have to do, what you need to do to show up. But you’re really part of a team and there are lots of different things going on and everyone has a job to do. Sometimes it can be a very high pressure situation. So, you want to stick with basics in terms of posing. Things get rolling. Sometimes you do eight shots before it really feels like everybody is in the groove of things. So, you kind of have to be patient with that and know that, […]
