Models who wish to be featured in global campaigns/projects must make modelling “digitals” or “polaroids” that demonstrate their current appearance in a casual, dignified way. I’ve received several requests from customers worldwide, and if I don’t have “polaroids” in the photoshoot studio hire, of the models I wish to recommend, the client will be hesitant to hire that model for a task.
Why Are Modeling Digitals so important?
Customers and firms may view what a model appears like in real life by using polaroids or digitals taken in a studio hire. These un-retouched photographs are the norm in the modelling profession, and contracted models often renew their digitals every now and then or whenever their appearance varies significantly. For instance, hair colour and style, new tattoos, bodyweight gain/loss, and so on. It’s critical to have current digitals on hand. In terms of Barbados, I’ve recently been generating estimations for worldwide customers, and everything went smoothly until the shooting in the photoshoot studio hire. Clients’ faith in shooting advertisements in Barbados gradually dwindled because they couldn’t obtain a clear picture of the model’s character or genuine features.
What Should I Bring?
Models in a simple style that properly exposes their traits and form are preferred by agencies. We utilise form-fitting apparel in a neutral colour with no prints, patterns, or logos for digitals.
Men are typically pictured by a photoshoot set designer, shirtless to display their body shape for fitness/swimwear models, while women should wear black bikinis with black heels. The heels are optional but encouraged since they improve the model’s figure by extending the body and emphasising curves.
Makeup, Hair and Nails
These photos should be as real as possible; no makeup is preferred. Polaroids with tons of makeup will make it more difficult for the customer to perceive you in your natural state, which is the whole goal of these photos in a phooshoot studio rental. It’s acceptable to use a small bit of concealer and lip balm, but no mascara, eyeliner, or eyeshadow should be worn, and your genuine brows should be seen.
Maintain a natural appearance by keeping your hair nice and orderly.
Please make sure your fingers and toenails are clean and polished, preferably in a neutral or transparent colour. Any other colours will detract from your natural beauty.
What should a test makeup look like?
Most of the time, natural Makeup artist photoshoot is the best choice for a test. Again, clients and modeling agencies want to see your natural features and unique beauty so they can know how to market your look for their projects, etc. You can definitely have different looks with makeup in your portfolio, but your main photo should have a very natural, simple look that shows what “you” are really like.
Do I need to study for a test?
You can’t or shouldn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Just make sure you got a good night’s sleep and aren’t too tired or stressed out. If this is your first photoshoot, you can do your own research on how to pose, and don’t forget to practice in front of the mirror. More practice and preparation can never hurt.
How will I use the photos?
If you want to become a model, you should send the pictures to modeling agencies. Please make sure to read the agency’s submission requirements first, such as which photos they need from you. Some agencies may only want you to send headshots and full-body shots, while others may want you to send polaroids first if you submit online, or they may not have any requirements at all. Make sure to bring all of your photos from the shoot if a modeling agency asks to see them. You could easily look at photos on your iPad or print them, the choice was yours.
To sum up
Because the goal of the photoshoot set designer is to promote you as you are, it’s ideal if you stay true to your genuine appearance. It’s important to remember that, like bold makeup, clothing, or nails, exaggerated facial expressions can detract from your natural looks.
