so we have photographers... do we have models?

zekthedeadcow · 11-04-2005, 08:17 PM

I'm looking for models in the Ohio area (columbus preferred) who would be interested in a Time for Prints/CD shoot in the near future 16+yo and 5'7" or taller, etc. If there happen to be agency models here that may be interested let me know your fees too.

I am gearing up for a big but low budget project to teach myself fashion photography...basically a "pose book".

You can contact me via email at
zekthedeadcow@hotmail.com

please don't attach pics but feel free to send links.

I just thought I'd try to scrounge up some christian models first

Realize that I am new to still photography... which is why I would like to do a number test shoots.

It will be shot in 35mm BW and color and scanned.

..and yes I'm looking for male and female.

For fashion modeling these are the requirments:

Fashion Modeling

The Garment and Beauty product industries are large users of models. People want to see what clothes or beauty products look like on somebody. Your high-fashion, designer-label garments, are designed for what fashion designers view as the "ideal woman." This is someone tall and slender, somewhat leggy, with a swan like neck and very young. In major markets like New York, this is someone who is 5'9" to 6' tall and from a size 8 to a size 0 depending on what is in. (How Rare) For men it is at least 6 foot tall and a 40 regular - of course, you have to have that "look" to go with the clothes. In secondary markets we would like to have this but often work with fashion models that don't meet these measurements. It is more important you just have a look of being tall and slender and that the sample clothes will fit you. The "look" can run from classic beauty to some extreme looks for fashion magazine editorial.
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. Usually the face is oval shape, with symmetry to the facial features. Eyes are almond shape. The cheekbones should be strong and nose straight and proportioned. Lips should be full. (more details) All of this just puts you in the general category; from there it is a matter of what the market demands are.

On the money - Top New York High Fashion models (there are just a handful of these folks) make more money then any other models (I have seen incomes as high as eight million a year). By contrast a model doing a fashion show at a local mall may get paid nothing. This shows the wide range of income one might expect in fashion modeling. Most folks who try to make it as fashion models will earn almost nothing so don't quit your day job.

And here's the link to the rest: http://www.modelingadvice.com/Whatdoesittake2.html

The original poster is teaching himself how to do fashion photography, so the requirments I posted is what he should be looking for.

Requirements differ with each modeling job

Jesuschick#1 · 11-08-2005, 04:34 PM
