Modeling tips by Vedika Sao – Freelance model

Being a model does not only requires physical attractiveness but also the ability to maintain an elegant and graceful appearance.

Here is, @vedikasao Miss Face of Central India and an established fashion model sharing her tips for getting better in this form of art :

1. Make faces in the mirror. Practice over the top emoting, laughing on cue, and bending your body into interesting positions while still looking natural and comfortable.

2. Get comfortable in heels or other shoes you don’t normally wear. You may be asked to run, jump, and even skip in heels.

3. Learn how to move fluidly, with small movements between shutter clicks instead of completely different poses from snap to snap. Think of each session as if you are trying to create a stop-motion flip book. Your photographer will thank you.

4. Build your modeling portfolio. Once you know your angles and your poses, it’s time to hire a photographer. In order to get your face out there, you’ll need more that a few selfies and party pics snapped on your iPhone. You’ll need to build a modeling portfolio. Portfolio standards have evolved a lot over recent years and you want to make sure your portfolio is professional and polished.

5. Stay healthy, drink water, do yoga and exercise.
