- The best models are actors because if an image is posed, then it looks fake and is a throwaway image. Imagine yourself as an actor/actress, seducing the camera with your eyes, lips, body expressions. Be extremely confident as it’s the one thing that cannot be photoshopped.
- Girls: Try to create S-shaped curves with your body as much as possible, think T+A all the way. You have to over exaggerate on camera so stick it out, SUCK IT IN
- Guys: Pics look good when you have a strong jaw line and look intense/masculine. To create this look, bit down with your rear molars so that the jaw muscle pops out, very slightly frown in pics to look stronger.
- Slightly squinting with the eyes gives intensity and emotion to images.
- Look away from the camera, off the shoulders of the photographer but don’t turn the head too far to either side
- Chin slightly up conveys easy confidence and looks great on camera
- Mouth slightly open makes the model look mysterious, but not too open. End up looking like those Myspace girls HAHA
- Create angles with your arms and legs. Shift weight from hip to hip to also create angles. Really contort your body to make the image interesting.
- Hands near mouth or head draws the viewer to your face, often interesting
- Each time the shutter chicks, change a little something about the picture, be it your expression, head position, body shape. Don’t be frozen with the same expression!
- Attitude Primer: Fashion is F-You, Glamour is F-Me, Commericial is JCPenney catalog. So, take on the required atttitude when modeling.
