SNAPSHOTS
Snapshot tips
— (snaps, polaroids) — natural photographs of a model without makeup, color correction, or retouching, taken to showcase the model's true physical appearance.
Properly taken snaps are extremely important!
They are taken repeatedly throughout the model's career
FIRST STAGE
Swimsuit photos
SECOND STAGE
Photo in clothes
For snap photos in clothing, you will need a basic white t-shirt (as shown in the example below) and a classic pair of jeans (preferably loose, high-waisted, and long enough for your height).
Example of a good clothing choice:
Proper camera positioning is essential for achieving high-quality photos.
An incorrect camera angle can cut off the model’s height and distort the proportions of their face and body. To ensure that all features are represented as realistically as possible, make sure the camera is positioned slightly above waist level.
Girls should be photographed slightly from below to visually elongate their legs,
while boys should be photographed slightly from above to emphasize the width of their shoulders.
Good snaps are only possible with diffused natural daylight.
Stand facing a window so that the light falls evenly on your face. The key is to avoid strong glares, shadows, or overexposure.
It’s important to emphasize:
-
No selfies, no mirror shots.
-
No filters or effects.
-
Hair down or in a ponytail.
-
Portraits and full-body shots.
-
Various angles.
-
Photos must NOT be edited into a collage.
