On the social network VKontakte there are a lot of groups dedicated to finding photographers and models. Our experience shows that the likelihood of finding an interesting model here is the exception rather than the rule. Many of those who sit in groups are inexperienced and have no idea what a serious photo shoot is. Searching for a VKontakte model is long and impractical.

Napodiae.ru

Napodiae.ru– another social network for photographers and models. Unlike Face.ru, “Napodium” cannot offer anything really interesting to photographers and models. There is no point in hanging out there, and the response to castings is very mediocre.

• Ask the model to send diverse photos of herself. The fact is that there are “perspective” models, i.e. people who look advantageous and interesting only from certain angles.
• Discuss in advance the possibility of selling and publishing photographs. It will be very unpleasant if right before the shoot it turns out that the model is against the sale of her photographs and thereby disrupts the shoot.
• Often, when searching for a model on the Internet, you can see the abbreviation TFP in the description of shooting conditions. TFP is short for Time For Print. That is, the photographer does not pay the model for shooting, and the model receives photographs without paying for the photographer’s services. This is the most common option for free collaboration between models and photographers. But when shooting TFP, you need to sign a “model release” agreement with the model. Otherwise, you may have problems selling or selling your photos. To know,

How to search for models on this site?

The PodiumStars database, which is updated daily with dozens of new members, includes both slender female fashion models and handsome guys models. We manually check all profiles to protect our members from unwanted contacts. Pay attention to the icon under the photo model's card - its presence means that the person this person confirmed.

An important indicator of the professionalism and reliability of the performer is the number of positive and negative reviews that is displayed after the icons And respectively. All reviews are also manually checked by a moderator.

Besides runway shows and photo shoots, there are many situations where the services of fashion models may be required. Very often, models are needed for an event - for example, to work at a stand at an exhibition, or hostesses for a party, or staff for the presentation of a new product. In any of the above situations, PodiumStars will become your faithful assistant.

Everyone knows that the modeling profession requires girls to meet certain standards. The generally accepted model parameters for girls and women who work in this field are “” (chest, waist and hip volume). Height can be between 170-185 centimeters. Such parameters of a model's appearance allow the girl to look equally harmonious on the catwalk and in front of the camera lens. However, there are many more exceptions to the rule.

Of course, standard or close to standard parameters of a model figure are the main requirement for working in the modeling business. But the face is also important. Surprisingly, it doesn't have to be memorable. A model is not a person, but a canvas on which stylists, designers, makeup artists and hairdressers realize their ideas. A neat straight nose, not narrow and not too plump lips, an oval face shape, an impeccable smile - these are the preferable characteristics. In addition, girls applying for the role of a model cannot have their hair cut short, and their eyebrows must have a natural shape (no plucking, correction, or tattooing).

It is worth noting that in different countries Parameter requirements differ. If in the CIS countries up to 5 centimeters can be added to “90-60-90”, and height can be 168-170 centimeters, then in Europe and America those with miniature “88-58-86” with height from 178 to 180 centimeters. Among other things, the model must have acting talent, charisma and an easy-going character. Of course, there are exceptions - the quarrelsome and hysterical Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, whose height is 167 centimeters, and Katya Zharkova with a clothing size of 52, but they are unique in their own way.
