WHAT KIND OF MODEL DO YOU WANT TO BE? your targeted photoshoot

fashion model

In classical imagery, this refers to “editorial models” such as the high fashion ones seen in fashion magazines like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle, and who work on top projects for designers like Giorgio Armani, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Valentino and others.

GLAMOUR MODEL

It is a sector in which the sensuality of the models is highlighted. From underwear and swimwear, to artistic or nude photography for men's magazines. It is necessary to be beautiful, sensual, self-confident and with an extroverted personality.
In professional glamour, the beauty required of a model is at the level of fashion shoots, or at least very close. The minimum height is a little lower, while the size can even reach 46. A curvy but proportionate appearance, the right amount of disinhibition and the ability to express one's sensuality are winning characteristics.

BABY MODEL

They are generally 12 years old and younger, and can be of any size. Baby Models with a lot of personality and who are able to work on set among strangers are preferred.

fitness model

Fitness models are very athletic, fit, and toned models. Many of them started out as athletes or trainers and then added posing for magazines and advertisements to their resumes. In addition to working for fitness companies, supplement manufacturers, and sports apparel companies, fitness models are often used for commercials.

NUDE ART MODEL

The nude art model. Photographs of artistic nudes are mostly in black and white, even if color timidly begins to appear, using color is more difficult because you risk moving from artistic nudes to glamor photography.

BURLESQUE MODEL

Burlesque is a form of entertainment that finds its origins in 18th-century England.
In an entertainment show that is increasingly similar to variety, beautiful girls alternate sinuous dances with small comic moments; the style of burlesque dancers is certainly unmistakable, made of bodices, bustiers, lace, frills and parisian stockings, with a look that often recalls the protagonists of the French Moulin Rouge shows.

Man MODEL

It's not just women who love fashion and the spotlight, there is in fact a good percentage of men who love being behind the lens of a photographer.
We have always used to think that working in the fashion field is an entirely female aspiration, in reality this is not the case! the modeling profession is much simpler than that of women precisely because it concerns a small niche of the male population and therefore the competition is not high and in some cases even zero.

PETITE MODEL

They are generally no more than 170 cm tall and less. These models generally don't do fashion shows, but they can do swimsuits and underwear and photo shoots.

INK TATTOO MODEL

In recent years, tattooed models have become an increasingly present reality on international fashion catwalks.
The Ink Girls represent the stereotype of the modern teenager, beautiful, tattooed, fit and transgressive at the right level.

GOTHIC MODEL

Gothic fashion or goth fashion, sometimes improperly called dark fashion in Italy, is a term that indicates various types of clothing and aesthetic styles that characterize the different categories of the gothic movement.
The characteristic that all the various subcategories of goth fashion have in common is the tendency to use the color black.
Typical Gothic fashion includes details such as black nail polish, black lipstick, black clothing, silver and not gold necklaces, pendants and rings, studs, crosses, black makeup and hair, pircing and chains.

BLACK MODEL

This area is dedicated to the world of Black Models who every season bring the new trends in clothing to the catwalks, but every day on Instagram they dictate trends in lifestyle, parties and glamour. Numerous are the models of color who every year appear in the most important fashion magazines and walk the most prestigious catwalks, a symptom of a change that, albeit slowly, is taking place in the world of fashion.

CURVY MODEL

Curvy Models are the new frontier of the Italian fashion System.
Many girls aspire to become icons of curvy beauty, not only to make space for themselves in a sector that is still too conformist and tied to the dictates of the profession, but also as a purely ideological mission of the female universe.
In Italy, especially in recent years, there are many castings that from month to month select the new sizes 46 to bring to the fore and there are also many agencies that are born with the intent of promoting a more democratic and therefore truthful beauty.

HAIR MODEL

The Hair model is that figure who lends his hair for the fashion shows and for the seminars on the new trends of the next season. It is a pleasant job because you can indulge in a new and trendy look.

body detail model

Another special category are models who work with certain body parts. Models specialize in body parts such as face, hands, feet, legs and eyes. A nice detail is enough to sponsor a product (hand cream for example) or the cover of a book. A model like this can be used for photos of jewellery, or products related to beauty.

model over

Likewise mature models. Women of different ages who are truly considered commercial models and can do everything a commercial model can do. You just have to be 30 years old and up.

erotic MODEL

If you want to attract the attention of your customers you have to show your best image.
Such as: Escort, hostess, lap dancer, escort, erotic model.
Your photographs are very important for acquiring new customers. Your success will be influenced by the quality of the images that represent you. Your images are a preview for your clients and only a few seconds count before moving on to another profile, it is a style of photography in which particular emphasis is placed on sensuality and eroticism.

An investment that all models must make.
Every girl who wants to propose herself in the world of fashion and advertising needs a photographic book made up of various model tests, that is, a collection of her best photographs printed and collected in a book (hence the name book) to show to customers during castings or auditions.

- Because thanks to the photos the customer understands how the model knows how to express herself.

COMPOSITE model
