FASHION FITNESS MODELING - As health and fitness has moved more into the public consciousness a greater demand has grown in this type of modeling FASHION SHOW ROOM MODELING - Modeling for buyers in the designer's show room This is the use of just part of the body in a photograph 9) In Control - You need to be able to control your health (size and fitness), your body for posing, your emotions for acting them out, and your life so you show up on time This is where the body parts model comes in COMMERCIAL LIFESTYLE MODELING - Models are used in photos showing a period of life or doing something in life Of course you always hear about the bad stage moms - the bossy, interfering, and overbearing stage moms - the ones trying to live the life they never had through their children If it is something you enjoy you are more apt to work hard at it, take greater risk, and work through the hardships that come along When I was sharing space with a couple of photographers who shot for a department store chain they could be shooting for weeks with models to produce one catalog We will set up a shoot using the standard model's face but the body part model's hands and it looks like it is just one person Getting into the high paying work can take as much effort as becoming a high fashion model With hand models we look for long slender graceful hand and fingers This includes your training, your physical upkeep, your professional practices, your finances, and your life A category of modeling will only be found where there are clients to support it The idea is they want someone attractive that people will be drawn to and will work for just a few hours or a few days The ambition and desire to succeed and achieve your goals in modeling will help you over the temporary set backs that come along Is this a problem? Stage Mom One thing that can be a great help for one's modeling career is a good stage mom How well a model brings the clothes to life and shows important features of the garments can determine how well they sell Some Categories of Commercial Modeling are: COMMERCIAL PRODUCT MODELING - Generally we are generating a photo to sell a product and the model is used to show how the product is used The "look" calls for more of the classic beauty than the extreme looks you find in the fashion magazines It is more important you just have a look of being tall and slender and that sample clothes will fit you This can actually be a mom, dad or grandparent There are no height or size requirements as in fashion modeling They can include bikini, sexy outfits and lingerie modeling On the cheesecake level, photos can be used for calendars, posters, and other pin-up girl products I used to see ads for fit models in our local newspaper for Jantzen and Pendleton This field is easy to get started in as there a lots of photographs who would love to do test shoots and photo assignments on spec " This is someone tall and slender, somewhat leggy, with a swan like neck Usually body part models will specialize in just one part of the body like hands, feet, legs, ears, or neck COMMERCIAL CORPORATE MODELING - Corporate modeling is like Lifestyle but it always has a business theme you have to have that "look" to go with the clothes If you are shy and reserved you will forever be uncomfortable modeling If you hate the work, you'll be miserable Often standard models that look great in full length shots or head shots don't look so good close up (more details) OK, that describes half of America - big help, onward It all depends on the image or story you are trying to tell The physical requirements and look for commercial product modeling can vary a great deal Where fashion modeling wants you to look like a beanstalk, glamour modeling wants you to have curves like Pamela Anderson So it is worth it to a designer to have the most ideal models show these collections Where once everyone exercised in baggy gray sweats, fitness attire continues to evolve and become more everyday wear The ability to pose the hand in a relaxed graceful fashion is very important Your high fashion, designer-label garments, are designed for what fashion designers view as the "ideal woman As far as I am concerned you need to be over 18 to do glamour modeling even cheesecake FASHION FIT MODELING - Fit models have the perfect proportions for a given clothing size FASHION CATALOG MODELING - There are a lot of clothing catalogs produced Obviously pre-teen is before this age and mature is everything after it When considering all parts of this side of modeling it is a very big industry and top glamour models can make as much as top fashion models With these ads it is very important that the concept, photo, and model work perfectly to convey the 'image' that is wanted If you can't learn it fast you could get eaten alive We also look for smooth (no wrinkles, hair or large pours), clear (no blemishes or irregular color) skin, and very good nails I will leave how this is all done to other web sites 10) Organized - You have to keep track of your schedule, your finances, your modeling materials, and your body's up keep If mothers are being thrown in jail for photographing their own children taking a bath and putting the photo in a family album, I think the risk is too great and the return too small to do any glamour work with someone under 18 The key for a fit model is to never gain or loose an inch This is like a hula dancer that can tell a story with their hands and avoid what I call "the claw" that most folks produce when put in front of the camera can vary greatly Good self-esteem can help pick you up and get you through those tough times 5) Extrovert - You will be constantly meeting new people and walking into new situations 4) Intelligent - There is a lot to learn about modeling, being an independent business person, about yourself and about surviving in a big world of sharks Commercial Modeling Commercial modeling is sort of the catch all for everything that isn't fashion and isn't glamour Just getting a job can have you running all over town Eyes are amond shape When you are young and starting out this pays better then any regular job and it can really build your confidence around people But this certainly opens up the field for women in their 20's, 30's, 40's and we my even begin seeing more good looking grandmothers in their 50's showing up When a trade show comes to town some exhibitors may hire models to hand out literature at their booths Models stand in front of, or in a store or mall, and hand out free samples of something It is vast and diverse In secondary markets we would like to have this but often work with fashion models that don't meet these measurements So what are some good traits for a model? 1) Love the Show - When you hear, 'It's show time' or 'Time for magic' do you come alive? If you love performing and being in front of an audience, whether it's a room full of people or the eye of the camera, you will enjoy modeling It can be display ads or collateral print materials With the way the laws are today a photographer runs a real risk doing any kind of sexy photo with someone under 18 Usually it would be at ladies' luncheons where models would wander between tables wearing designer clothes from local fashion boutiques But they always use the "beautiful people" in these photos Where fashion may want a 'special beauty look', glamour modeling wants traditional drop dead gorgeous; where fashion really only happens in New York, glamour can happen anywhere These could be simple cheesecake or beefcake photos An example would be a model dressed like a doctor holding a blood pressure device com, it is very noticeable here FASHION TEAROOM MODELING - This once was very popular in smaller markets Lips should be full (Except for Coldwater Creek who has done a brilliant job of styling their Spring clothing catalog without using any models Main stream models usually start in around 14 years of age and go to their early twenties Not big bucks, but a place to start and gain confidence in a small market TRADE SHOW MODELING - Once again attractive people are attention getters As one moves to greater states of undress you move to the adult entertainment industry with high-end men's magazines like Playboy and then on down to the low-end back-ally magazines 6) Good Self Esteem - Ok, so it doesn't hurt to be a little bit of an egomaniac Since almost all of the fashion magazines are based in New York, that is where you will find work in the fashion editorial modeling category ) Generally, catalog models are picked for a project because they represent the ideal of the market segment for which that catalog is targeted The 'look' can be mom, business executive, scientist, glamorous beauty, etc FASHION BATHING SUIT MODELING - Again, more revealing requires excellent body tone and a healthy look Well, let me say I appreciate a good stage mom as the professional she is Professional modeling is a tough business There is also the old Madison Avenue technique of selling a product by putting someone attractive by it Plus size is the same height as standard size models but size 14 -16 Body parts model follow a similar path ad regular models with finding modeling agencies, building portfolios and having comp cards What Next So you know what kind of modeling you want to do and you're the right height and size, but you may not be sure if you have the "look" or are beautiful enough or are photogenic enough One of the classics examples of this is the auto show Usually the face is oval shape, with symmetry to the facial features That is a lot of billable hours 7) Ambition - For most, careers in modeling won't come easy FURTHER DIVISIONS - These categories can have further sub-categories for size - petite and plus, and for age - children, preteen, and mature - these and many other magazines today that focus on fashion have lots of editorial pages they must fill each month This leads to why models have to meet very strict requirements and why they get such high fees for this type of work Glamour Modeling I am getting a lot of young visitors to this site so I won't go into this too deeply You never hear about the good stage moms - the ones the photographer turns to when the model has forgotten something and mom is right there with it: the stage mom who works tirelessly in the background so her daughter or son, the model, is on time and ready for the task at hand This is where character models are used Designers present these collections to a gathering of buyers by sending models down a walkway or runway Garment manufactures and designers hire fit models to use to piece together new creations, see how they move, and develop their patterns PRODUCT DEMO - In smaller markets this seems to be a favorite area to start models The photo might be an older couple walking on the beach and the photo is used in the advertising materials for a new retirement resort These are the ads that can make or break a designer's reputation This industry is a real ego bruiser This is the most demanding work to get but pays the best because of usage and exclusives Types of Fashion modeling: FASHION EDITORIAL MODELING - Vogue, Elle, Glamour, Cosmo, etc Often times this is the classic beauty - tall, slender, healthy, and beautiful If you are going to work in front of the camera you need to be photogenic, and this you won't know until you do a test shoot You will have to go through trials and tribulations before you achieve success You need to like new experiences, challenges, and meeting new people Their hands or feet may look horrible The physical requirements can vary greatly Also, because fashion magazines are not as constrained as advertising work, they can use more 'extreme' and 'special beauty' models in their pages Types of Modeling Fashion Modeling The Garment and Beauty product industries are large users of models The cheek bones should be strong and nose straight and proportioned A good stage mom learns the business, helps keep things organized, watches out for scams, helps avoid dangerous situations, provides transportation, helps with training, encourages practice, provides emotional support, and at the start of a career provides the financing FASHION LINGERIE MODELING - Because this type of modeling may be more revealing it requires very good body tone and proportions People stop to look at a pretty face, not at another vanilla computer box Body Part Modeling Body part modeling is a special category that belongs in both fashion and commercial modeling A model personality Besides needing the physical requirement to be a model you also need a personality for it Fit models can be hired by manufacturers in permanent salary positions (I know because my significant other gets most of them and tries to keep them all in business by constantly buying from them You can't pick up a car magazine without seeing a babe by the car or truck The physical requirements, age, size, etc What is the next step? That is what is covered in the next section If you love the work, you will love your life They simply pursue a very special niche market As an example, the New York Ready Wear shows just finished with 110 designers presenting collections for Fall 2000 Again, the purpose is to sell something - a product, service, or idea Catalog modeling usually pays well because of the volume of photos that must be taken And at the end of the day you still have to do all the stuff needed to keep you in shape and looking beautiful People want to see what clothes or beauty products look like on somebody Hand models are one type of body part model that I have had more call for e Only certain people can stand up to the hard work schedule and stress that modeling demands FASHION PRINT MODELING - This is fashion and beauty for print advertising if you buy these clothes you will look as nice as the person pictured in the catalog And for all of this, stage moms get to melt into the background and let their son or daughter move into center stage and become a star Petite size models usually are 5'2" to 5'6" FASHION RUNWAY MODELING - Clothing designers traditionally show their new collections twice a year (Fall and Spring) to perspective buyers Many of these editorial pages feature models wearing what the magazine thinks will be the next trend in fashion You need to be able to sell yourself to be able to sell the product This gives an image of medical authority being behind the product Again, it gives some income when you are starting out and gets you in front of the public Although it may not be politically correct to do this, it still is done and it works 8) Self-Starter - As a model you are an independent businessperson in charge of your own career And let's not forget the Internet that is now loaded with all levels of sexual photos The marketing idea is for transference, i Back then I was a competitive swimmer and they would come around the pool and hire models from the swim team - in this case the models were very fit Add to this all of the fitness, health, and outdoor lifestyle magazines that are on the newsstands and you have a fast growing category for modeling ) These catalogs, whether business-to-business, store, or direct marketing, require models to pose in the clothes they are trying to sell You must be able to take charge of you OK, so you have to be a bubbly Polly Anna that everyone loves, who is a rocket scientist, and has just finished SEAL team training Or a photo of a young couple playing in a park with their children and the photo is used in an ad for a life insurance company These young models tend to be very tall, slender and move very well in clothes Of course being in the city with the corporate headquarters for Nike, Adidas, Columbia Sportswear and now Lucy The models are used to act out some concept or idea of life It is one type of legitimate modeling that you can see advertised in the classified section of the newspaper (How Rare) For men it is at least 6 foot tall and a 40 regular - of course Again physical requirements can vary greatly, but usually attractive people are used - although sometimes character models are used Glamour modeling is modeling for photos with a sexual theme 3) Projection - You need to be able to project your personality, your charisma, your charm, and your sex appeal In major markets like New York, this is someone who is at least 5'9" tall and a size six A number of years ago we had Jantzen and White Stag here in Portland One of the best things a young wannabe model can have is a parent who can help you develop your career I lump them all together as 'stage mom' and as far as I am concerned if you have a good one they are worth their weight in gold 2) Hard Working - Modeling takes a lot of hard work and stamina Editorial work does not pay as well as other types of high fashion modeling but it is great for building a model's reputation and getting tear sheets for one's portfolio You will be performing before strangers every day A photo shoot can run as long as 16 hours and at all times of the day & night Also, model may be used to convey an image about a product The models would describe the outfit they wore and where to buy it It was backed by the directors from 18 leading museums, who issued a statement criticizing the "essentially destructive nature of the repatriation of objects statue from the Parthenon it acquired years ago Italian Culture Minister Giuliano Urbani met with Greek Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos and said the piece would be loaned "on a long-term basis The fragment in Sicily was purchased by the University of Palermo between 1818 and 1820 from the widow of Robert Fagan, a British consul for Sicily and Malta and an amateur archaeologist " The Elgin Marbles were removed from the Parthenon by Lord Elgin, Britain's ambassador to the Ottoman Empire The museum has refused The piece in question is the statue of Peitho, goddess of persuasion and seduction, and is about 14 inches high Italy Promises Sculpture Loan to Greece Dec 11, 4:03 PM EST ATHENS, Greece (AP) â€â€? Italy promised Wednesday to lend Greece a 5th century B C The deal is a new twist in the debate over the Parthenon marbles The return comes as Greece is in a fierce debate with the British Museum over the Elgin Marbles Greece wants the items at least for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens It has been on display at the Salinas Regional Archaeological Museum in Palermo, Sicily " In return, Greece will loan an unspecified artwork to Italy It is not known how Fagan acquired it The bulk of them, known as the Elgin Marbles, are in the British Museum, which has refused to let them go |
