I have an understanding of how this process can be optimized. My experience has shown that often models do not even understand what they want from them and why in this form. Periodically there are misunderstandings between a stylist and a make-up artist, a model and a photographer, etc. From my own experience, I was convinced that disagreements can be avoided if this process is organized. But for this, the cooperation of all participants is important.

So, what is a model test? The main purpose of the model test is to emphasize the advantages of the model, to reveal her professional abilities, to show her ability to stay in the frame. Therefore, nothing should distract attention from her. It is important to know the basic principles of what makeup/hairstyle and clothes are used.
Model tests consist of two or three images, and may also include snapshots.

Snapshots

Snaps are a set of pictures in the required angles, made according to a certain standard. O neither show the external data of the model: the condition of the skin (do you have any skin problems), the state of the figure (gained weight / lost weight), the current color and length of the hair, etc.

According to the rules, make-up is not allowed. In practice, make-up artists refresh the model's face with minimal makeup.

Most often, the hair is loose, but then the photographer always asks to collect it in a bun, so there should be an elastic band on the arm.

Photographed for snapshots black/white/ body linen; a one-color swimsuit (preferably separate); bodysuit. I advise you to always take black and nude underwear for tests! It will definitely be needed! For example, under a white shirt - flesh, under a black T-shirt - black, etc.
All jewelry is removed and the model poses barefoot or in high heels.

Image I

The model is in the center of the photo. There are no distracting details from her in the frame. The figure of the model is guessed under the clothes.

Makeup should refresh the face, be natural. If necessary, a light tone is applied (it all depends on the skin), eyes stand out, lips are emphasized with a shine of natural color.

Hair can be removed from the face behind the ears, dissolved or made into a bun. A stylist or photographer will tell you.

Photographed for the first image in jeans / shorts + bodysuit / t-shirt / shirt of a solid color (preferably white / black / gray); men's shirt/cozy sweater/t-shirt "alcoholic" (must be long, cover all seductive parts of the body), bodysuit + leather jacket, tank top + sports style shorts, etc. All these things show off the figure of the model, the emphasis is on the model, not on the clothes.

On the feet can be black / beige solid shoes (without rhinestones, bright inserts, gold or silver), sneakers, or even barefoot.

Image II & III

These two images are completely dependent on the type of model. Here you need the help of a stylist. The model should be different in each image, I would even say the complete opposite. For example, casual - business, sports - girlish, "your boyfriend" - rock style, etc.

R I recommend moving away from a simple image to a complex one. This will make it easier for the makeup artist and hairstylist. For example, in makeup, it’s easier to get away from arrows into smokey than vice versa. In hair, it is easier to make wet hair out of curls than to dry your hair and then twist it again. This approach saves time for all participants in the process.

Dear stylists, be sure to show pictures of makeup / hairstyles to the masters. The words "make-up let it be like a sea breeze" will not say anything! I recommend asking the master if he can advise something from makeup / hairstyles! Practice shows that I often offer amazing options on how to complement the image. We are not makeup artists and hair masters, we don’t know much. This is where expert advice is important.

For example: dress, skirt, trousers, blouse, suit, jacket, vest, leather jacket, raincoat, coat, scarves, knit sweater, denim overalls/shirt/jacket, leather pants, stockings, biker boots, open/closed shoes, sneakers, grinders and etc.

It will be a huge plus if you take your jewelry to the shooting, they will help to complete the image.

I beg you, leave at home all shiny, in rhinestones, bright things “gouge out your eyes”, insanely printed and mega flowers. Understand, these things cover your individuality! If you wear them, then the THING is visible, not you. As mentioned above, the purpose of model tests is to emphasize the merits of the model, and not to outshine her with clothes.

Now many have a question, why should I drag my things to the shooting?

Understand in things familiar to you, you will feel relaxed. You can easily and naturally pose for the camera. Of course, stylists bring extra things, but sometimes they are big (then they use clips / pins, and they hinder movement). Sometimes a model cannot turn sideways. you can see the clamp.

If you are a model and come to another city where you are going to do model tests, then take, if possible, everything that is described above. I repeat, the success of the shooting will depend on this. If a stylist can help with clothes, then problems most often arise with shoes. So that take 2-3 pairs of shoes.

I’m not too lazy and I’ll write, for each model, before shooting, the hair must be clean, the face without makeup, manicure on the hands, pedicure on the legs, nails not made up. It seems that this is natural ... But as practice shows, not for everyone ... I also recommend not drinking alcohol a week before the shooting, drinking more water. It will improve and refresh your skin.

In conclusion, I want to say it will be great if the whole team is included in this creative process. The stylist will show the individuality, uniqueness of the model; make-up artist - correctly place accents on the face and emphasize beauty; the photographer will find favorable angles and show the model in all its glory, and the model herself will listen to the advice of professionals and open up in front of the camera.

Let's respect each other's work and time! If you have questions, ask! I will answer them with pleasure.

Who is suitable for the role of the model?

Sometimes a girl just crosses the threshold of the agency, and experts already see and know that she was created to be a model. Why? Because she has an extraordinary appearance, she feels strength, energy and there is something attractive. But it is also true that young people who take their first steps in this field must sacrifice a lot and work hard for the benefit of their future career. Preparation is not easy: visit the gym every other day. Forget about sweets and goodies, learn to relax in front of the camera lens, learn English intensively, take care of your skin, etc.

This job is not so much about showing off your beauty, but about who you are. The model is not required to be stunningly beautiful. In order to become a model, a girl must be a little bit of an actress - to be able to feel the right mood for a photograph and convey it. Here, undoubtedly, photogenicity plays the most important role, for example, like Kate Moss. She has an extremely photogenic face, and therefore it is impossible to photograph her badly.

It turns out that those girls who make a brilliant career with lightning speed attract attention from the very first time. They are different from the rest in many ways, they have something very attractive, and besides, they are not stupid. A good model should have a working head. The stupid and infantile will never break into the market and make a career, because she cannot overcome tough competition, cannot endure the heavy burden of everyday work. Not to mention how difficult it is mentally to endure separation from loved ones. Her destiny is to work once as a fashion model, shooting for domestic magazines, occasionally flashing at fashion shows.

I want - so I must

Usually agencies try not to deal with models who agree to work from time to time. The girl must be 100% ready - that's what the agencies need. Sometimes they have to refuse the services of young ladies who are only on the staff and whose portfolio has never been claimed by clients. If the model is not able to lose extra pounds and reduce 2 cm in the hips during the year, while swearing that she runs every day in the park, then they also part with her. If she chronically forgets about castings, then they do the same. And yet, the most reliable and revealing test regarding a future career is going abroad. Agencies complain that many parents are convinced that education is the most important thing. And often it is the parents of young and promising girls or their suitors who choose the means of pressure on them. Without realizing and, moreover, not wanting to delve into the fact that a trip to Tokyo, Milan or London is for girls nothing more than a colossal investment in a successful future. What does it mean? New life experience, learning English, useful acquaintances and connections, finally, “quick” money and, moreover, a lot. Today, however, the situation looks more optimistic. A growing number of girls are realizing that a career will not always wait for them at the doorstep. And those who are smarter combine the work of the model with full-time or distance learning.

Angelic Patience

What does it take to become a really popular and professional model? The models themselves admit that the most important thing in their profession is patience. You have to be in the right place at the right time. For the first six months, you may not have to do anything at all. And when the girl is already completely losing hope, suddenly, as if something is revealed, unblocked - and offers begin to pour in. There is fierce competition at the castings - up to 200 dazzlingly beautiful girls come there ... What is the probability that they will pay attention to you? And again waiting ahead.

Models have a lot of other problems, for example, girls get very tired from photo shoots. They complain that some sessions can last 10-12 hours in a row. All this time, at least most of it, you do nothing while the preparations go on. This is make-up, fittings ... Somewhere at 22.00 the most important thing begins, and it is very difficult to save strength and energy so that the skin shines and the eyes are piercing. That is why all those who are familiar with the profession of a model firsthand say unanimously that their work is not honey at all, but hard, exhausting work. Indeed, the novice model is so far only at the edge of the chain of this entire complex system: everything is decided by photographers, stylists, make-up artists ... Often, models are literally perceived as hangers ... Some clients do not care at all about their well-being girls, nor their health. That is why a strong character is so important in this profession. If you do not worry yourself, then do not hope that someone will patronize you.

Leap Forward

Those who think that at the very beginning of a career a model should be energetic and assertive are deeply mistaken. And if an outwardly attractive girl is always constrained and squeezed in front of the camera lens, unable to relax? At the first photo shoot, does she have tightly compressed lips, wooden, clumsy movements? Well, these are quite natural things. Some people are better at photography, some are worse. You can, of course, learn to relax to a certain extent when you need to. And in this case, time and acquired experience act as good helpers. And not all girls learn the basics equally, not to mention personal qualities. In addition, not everyone is ready to accept the fact that the client is always right. The customer is God and the king for the model. He makes an order, says what he needs, and one thing is required of the model: to be ready for shooting, appropriately dressed and in makeup, even if she doesn’t like something. If a girl defiantly declares that she will not get up early to fly to Berlin (without giving a good reason for refusal), then in this case she will be answered that only world-famous stars can afford such behavior, but certainly not a debutante.

What can a beginner model afford? It turns out that the administrator can allow the girl not to participate in the photo shoot, if the day before she worked late, say, until 22.00. And no one will demand that by six o'clock it be as fresh as a morning rose. At the same time, the work of the model, like other creative professions (artists, musicians), requires something to sacrifice for the sake of the body. It happens that the model, if the client insists, starts the photo shoot without getting enough sleep.

There is an opinion that all models without exception drink, use drugs and hang out all night long in expensive nightclubs. Indeed, it is difficult to argue, since the environment in the modeling business is quite specific, but there are even more temptations. And of course, fans, flowers, sparkling cars... All this can turn the head of young girls taking their first steps. But smart girls always try to avoid provocative moments, and then they will not have to receive ambiguous sentences at their expense.

Most requested options

Growth. For a career abroad, girls with a height of 175-181 cm have a chance. Short (172 cm) can be invited to work in Japan. If the growth is below average, you can not dream of working abroad. Although among the models there are those who more than compensate for the lack of growth with a memorable face and excellent acting skills. If your height is 169 cm, it is better to forget about the modeling career altogether. Try your luck where a "card file of persons" is maintained, in particular in agencies for accounting and employment of extras. However, be on the lookout - many of them have a very dubious reputation.

Age. The ideal age for beginners is 14-19 years old. If you are over 21 years old, then the chances of becoming a model are minimal. It is unlikely that any of the leading modeling agencies will hire you. Unless your pluses are exceptional beauty and undoubted talent ... Although, as practice shows, girls and older ones are employed in the modeling business, but they are of a completely different caliber. These models have achieved star status. The lower age limit is 13 years old. However, such young creatures do not work abroad. Agencies sign a contract with them and then watch how the figure, other parameters and growth change as the applicant matures. If a teenage girl has long legs and, moreover, her parents are tall, her chances of becoming a model in the future are very high. She will be invited for cooperation when she is 15 years old, that is, when she is formed and acquires feminine outlines.

The weight. He's just not important. And parameters are important in the first place. In order to work abroad, the hips must not exceed 90 cm. Waist? 58-60 cm. If the girl is 2 cm larger, the agency will send her home. Remember, in order to correctly measure the volume of the hips, the centimeter should not “fit” tightly. The model must be thin, but not too thin (and, of course, not emaciated). Nobody is going to terrorize her about losing another 1 cm. The final decision is up to her.

Bust. 90% of clients and potential customers want to see girls with small breasts. Maximum - size C. Big breasts, unfortunately, are not suitable even for advertising underwear. What about shows? Less is better.

How to become a model

Going to a meeting with the manager, be natural. As a matter of fact, this is most appreciated by professionals from modeling agencies.

1. Take care in advance that you have clean, washed hair. Don't spray varnish, don't do stylish styling, and don't fantasize anything at all. You have to be natural, which is.

2. This requirement also applies to make-up. If you make up too loudly, defiantly or - attention! - very diligently, you will be asked to wash everything off (the agency should see what kind of skin you have). Therefore, apply only foundation on your face, a little shine and blend your eyelashes.

3. Don't dress either extravagantly or sexually provocative. The best clothes are a thin tight sweater and jeans. You can also bring a skirt, jacket or suit and high heels.

4. If you are aiming to work as a model abroad, you should speak English, at least at a conversational level. So it is better to navigate in an unfamiliar environment, for example, at a casting or immediately understand the requirements of the photographer.

No, it's not enough to have long legs and perfect abs. To do this, it is not enough to be beautiful by nature. Even your parents' connections may not work if there is no charisma. Take our test and find out if you could become a supermodel or not.

1. You are an aspiring model. You were invited to a photo shoot for a little-known magazine. Filmed in an aquarium. With snakes. Under water. You are afraid of closed spaces and snakes. And then, it’s not at all a fact that these photos will make you a star. What will you do?

2. Your photo was noticed by a scout of a little-known but promising modeling agency. He says the day after tomorrow you have to fly to Paris for castings. Fashion week starts in just a couple of days. You don't have a visa. What will you do?

URGENTLY I APPLY FOR A VISA AND FLIGHT AT ALL THINGS

Dubious offer. I WILL WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT SEASON. IF THIS IS FATE, THE WORK WILL NOT LEAVE ME

I WILL SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THE AGENCY, BUT I WILL NOT FLY TO PARIS - I NEED TO PREPARE FOR THIS IN ADVANCE

3. Castings have begun. 5 per day. You get rejected after rejection. Designers notice only flaws in you: either your legs are not long enough, or your arms are up to your knees, or your gait is crooked. Nerves give up. What will you do?

MOST LIKELY I WILL CRY AND GO HOME. WHY DO I NEED THIS WORLD OF FASHION IF NOBODY NEEDS ME IN IT? DO SOMETHING INTELLIGENT

I WILL BE SUFFERING AND WAIT FOR MY POINT HOUR. JIGI HUMILIZED TOO!

WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT RIGHT HAVE THIS RIGHT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUNG GIRLS? SO I WILL TELL THEM!

4. You are a beginner, but already a promising model. About you began to learn in the West. At one of the parties, a married actor rolls up to you. You are being photographed by the paparazzi. DailyMail publishes a photo, and your contract with the A-list brand is on the verge of collapse. Your actions?

I WILL CONSUME THE BRAND REPRESENTATIVES THAT I HAVE NOTHING CONNECTING WITH THEM. THIS IS HE SUCKED UP TO ME, AND NOT ME TO HIM!

SCANDAL? THIS IS WONDERFUL! BLACK PR IS ALSO PR. ONE CONTRACT WILL FLY, TWO WILL ARRIVE!

5. The paparazzi took a picture of you on the beach while you were relaxing with your friends. The photo shows stretch marks and - oh no! - cellulite. The Internet is in a frenzy - what kind of model are you after this?

WILL BE HOW TO PROVE KIM KARDASHIAN THAT THE PICTURES ARE PHOTOSHOP

I WILL POST A SELFIE IN A BIKINI ON INSTAGRAM, SO EVERYONE CAN SEE MY PERFECT FIGURE AND REALIZE

I WILL PASS BY THE EARS. WE ARE ALL HUMANS. AND THEN, WE LIVE IN THE AGE OF BODY POSITIVE! WELL, I WILL Sweat for a WEEK IN THE HALL, AND THEN EVERYONE WILL FORGET

6. You are invited to shoot for Arabic Vogue. You have nothing to do with the Arab countries, and the scandal cannot be avoided. But on the other hand, it's Vogue...

I REFUSE. I REMEMBER HOW ALL MEDIA OF THE WORLD DISCLAIMED JIJI!

AGREE. SO WHAT IS ARABIC? ZATO VOGUE

I AGREE TO REMOVE ONLY WITHOUT NATIONAL ATTRIBUTES

7. The Victoria's Secret show. You broke up with your ex and don't want to see him. And he performs at this show. Either you participate in the show, or you refuse the best chance in your life

AGREE! I WILL PASS HIM WITH HEAD PROUDLY HEIGHT, HE WILL STILL CRY AND BEG ME TO COME BACK

I REJECT THE SHOW. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE AND HEAR HIM

WHEN I SEE HIM, EVERYTHING IS CLOSED INSIDE. ON THE SHOW, OF COURSE, I AGREE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL DO IT

Do you want to become a model so that the whole world is at your feet? Do you dream of repeating the career of Tyra Banks or Natalia Vodianova, finding your own prince or even more than one, and generally living like in a fairy tale? But is it possible?

Difficulties of life models

What do you know about the modeling business?

It is hard work. Money in it does not come easily.

  • The work of the model is a constant lack of sleep. Because castings can take place at different times and, what is important, in different cities. Will have to leave immediately to the other end of the world in the middle of the night and on the first call.
  • You have to be away from your family and friends. In the background will be personal life.
  • It may be necessary to give up a good rest and be content with sleeping on a plane or train.
  • Plus, the careless attitude of colleagues and customers. After all, they evaluate models as a favorable background for their clothes, as an interior or as a walking hanger. And, by the way, they have the right - because they pay for it. But not everyone can handle this attitude.

In addition to all of the above, you can find a bunch of other horrors of the modeling business on the Internet.

To become a real model, you need to follow the following rules:

  1. Fit according to specifications
    Girls should preferably meet certain parameters:
    • Growth from 178 cm to 2 meters.
    • Age. There are also models of children, starting from birth. Working with them has its own characteristics, but the workload for children is no less than for adults. In adult shows, girls start working at the age of 14. At this age, the model has more chances for a successful career than a 25-year-old lady.
    • Dry body. Today, girls without forms are in fashion: thin legs - sticks, a complete absence of a stomach and small breasts. Finding a dress for a girl with at least the second size is very problematic in any design studios. Therefore, such ladies are rarely invited to shows.
    • Recently, plus size models have also become relevant.. Puffy beauties can also try their luck on the catwalks of the world. But the demand for such figures is small. To achieve success in this narrow industry, you need to try very hard.


    If you do not meet any of the above parameters, do not be upset. This does not mean that the doors of the modeling business are closed for you. , it just means that you will have the hardest time in this business to prove your professional suitability and uniqueness among all the models in the world.
