hey what's up guys welcome back to my channel as you guys know I've been
traveling a lot and I'm finally back to United States so I'm gonna be back
making my videos on a weekly basis and thank you guys for those who voted on my
community tab that's something I got that I'm gonna try to do a lot more is
I'm gonna give you guys the power to let me know what types of contents you want
to see what topics you're interested in so I'm gonna be posted out of my
community tab and I encourage you guys to vote so thank you guys for those who
voted already alright so a couple of months ago I actually made a video on my
youtube channel about getting discovered on Instagram and I mentioned a model
called a knock I believe she's a Sudanese model who got discovered an
Instagram actually and that actually prompted me to come up with this idea of
what types of pictures can you guys take to get discovered as a model so without
further ado let's get to it
alright guys so there are four types of pictures that you need to take that will
increase your chances of getting discovered right so the four types of
pictures you need to take one is a full-length body shots the full-length
body shots should show you where is something form-fitting they should show
off your long limbs and should kind of like hints at your heights or even make
you look taller than you actually are so for example in this picture
this picture is of a model date she's actually 5'9 I believe but if you
look at this picture thoroughly she looks like she's at least 5'11 or so and
that's because the picture you know it accentuate her long legs and all of that
so it it feeds into our best features so make sure you get that full length body
shot and make sure that it does make you look taller than you actually are or
that it makes you look like you're heights the next type of picture you
need to take is a portrait lens photo now a portrait lens photo is basically
your knees and up right so you want to take a portrait line fold that shows
your face so your whole body shows you fashionable very
and pull natural neutral minimal makeup if you're a female pull your hair back
you know keep the keep the makeup very clean and neat that's very important and
that's gonna be also important for your next type of shots which is your
close-up shots so your close-up shot obviously it's just a close-up of your
face they want to see your your structure your bone structure your your
best features in your face whether it's your lips your eyes your eyebrows your
cheekbones whatever it is make sure that it's well-lit natural lighting minimal
make-up showing off your best features that will work nine times out of ten now
the fourth and final type of photo you need is a profile shot now a profile
shot usually is directly to the side but in this case it doesn't necessarily work
in helping you get and discover it because if if an agent is looking just
at your side of your face and that's all they see they can't really tell what you
look like right so what you need is a half profile so rather than going all
the way you're kind of like halfway away from the camera and then what you need
to do is just direct your eyes to the camera in your shot so what you need is
a half profile shot and that will complete the four types of images that
you need to help you get discovered now here are some very very important tips
these photos do not have to be professional at all what's important is
that they have to look like they haven't been retouched so if you go out and you
hire a photographer or you do a professional shoots agents are just
gonna overlook that most of the time because it looks like you could have
been retouched they don't really know what you look like
how much retouching was done you know did they make your features more more
pronounced or whatever so that's very important that they look very natural
clean it has to look like it was taken from a cellphone or just taken up in a
Polaroid hence why agents usually acts for Polaroid because they know that
those can't be retouched you know so that's very important to make sure that
if you do take those pictures professionally make sure that the
retouching is very very minimal where it looks like almost nothing was done
another tip to mention is to make sure you wear informed
enclosed very simple basics t-shirts tank tops and jeans boots sneakers
form-fitting very form-fitting nothing no layers none of that so like if you
look at the picture on Instagram that got are not discovered you can see she's
wearing something very form-fitting and basic and simple you know so that's very
important the last tip I'll give you guys is to pay attention to the light in
so the lighting should be very natural as basically you get day lights if not
you can try getting some flash but just don't make it too Moody you want to make
sure that your features are lit properly know what your best assets are as a
model and work those assets alright guys so that's it for this video if you guys
