Model Portfolio Poses Biography

Since the world is watching the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, I decided to dedicate this week’s Model Behavior to a sexy British male model. Not just any, but one of the biggest from the UK. Born in Crydon, England in 1986, Danny Schwarz has been at the top of his game for many years. In 2009, he was named the 4th most successful male model in the world by Forbes magazine.
Schwarz has had many highlights in his career, but his most notable gig involved a steamy threesome shot for Calvin Klein snapped by famed photographer, Steven Meisel. It was so sexy and controversial, it was banned on television. In addition to posing for Calvin Klein, Danny has shown off his rock hard abs for Tommy Hilfiger, Esquire, Versace, Hugo Boss and Givenchy to name a few.
The British stud has appeared in various publications including GQ, OUT, Vogue and 10. He’s also had the honor of appearing in an ad campaign with supermodel Gisele Bundchen and posing for Mario Testino. Schwarz also hangs out with top fashion figures in his down time as well. Top male model Sean O’Pry is one of his closest friends. Get to know Danny in more detail in several pictures below. He definitely deserves a hotness gold medal in my book.Hollywood is obsessed with youth and the fashion industry is no different. It’s all about the next new hot upcoming thing. With that in mind, I thought I’d pick a sexy young fresh face to highlight for this week’s Model Behavior. British male model Alex Libby certainly fits the bill. This guys is not only beautiful but super sexy with his long curly hair and scruffy beard. WOOF.
The 6’1″ stud was discovered by a model scout for NEVS Models Agency with whom he’s still represented by. Libby loves surfing and it shows in a recent interview. He cites Surfs Up as his favorite movie and lists Bali as his dream country to visit. Pro surfer Andy Irons is one of his idols. Who knew hardcore surfers existed in the UK? I certainly didn’t. Check out the results of Libby’s fitness regime (chin-ups and push-ups) below. I’m sure a few crunches are involved as well. His flat stomach is proof of that. Oh youth and fast metabolism.Sam Cooke launched her career as an international model after entering the prestigious Page 3 idol contest in 2006 and soon became one of the The Sun's best loved models. Sam is a favorite of the UK press having taken part in shoots for Loaded, Front, FHM, Maxim, Nuts and Zoo Magazine, shooting over 15 magazine covers.The former architecture student has also produced 2008 -2012 calendars and has fronted PR campaigns for Ladbrokes, Samsung and recently featured on National Billboards for the Coppafeel Charity.Aside from modelling during the day sam was a DJ by night. Playing all over the world from Miami to Ibiza. She then went on to be a part of megabrand Hedkandi as one of their official DJ's. Allthough she still does the occasional gig, Sam's put everything aside fulfilling her dream as a photographer. Photography is something she's done as a hobby for a while, mainly shooting her fellow model friends, creating pictures for their portfolios."I've been working as a model in the industry for over 5 years. During this time I have learned so much about styling, posing, applying make-up, all the tricks of thetrade . Now I have decided to go behind the lens and share my experience with people wanting to get into the modelling industry and hopefully help them on the road to success. I can now offer a service providing models with tips and advise whilst shooting their portfolio"  Sam CookeOver the years, I’ve realized that there is indeed an art to posing models-an art that all photographers, in order to be successful, must study and develop.
Helping the Model Look Her Best.Beginning models in particular rely on the experience of the photographer to guide them to flattering poses. Even experienced models, although they usually develop a rather extensive repertoire of poses and move gracefully through a series, still need the photographer to fine-tune their poses, emphasizing their best features while minimizing the weaker ones.
Often, a nervous model will simply stand in front of the camera, waiting to be told what to do. If you are an inexperienced photographer, it can be difficult to direct the model-especially since photographers tend to be better at visualizing a pose than communicating it clearly to a subject. Pleasing the Client. With model photography there is an additional consideration: the client. This may be a commercial client or, when shooting for a model’s portfolio, all her prospective employers. If the image is being created for a commercial client, the model is often secondary to the product; she is used solely to enhance the mood of the photograph. In this case, the model’s pose must force the viewer’s eyes to the product or service being promoted. If a model can do this, while still creating an emotional response, then the photograph will be successful for the client or advertiser. Ask yourself: What are we trying to show? Is it a particular item of clothing, something special about the clothing (e.g., a zipper, material, or a design)? What is it that will prompt the viewer of the photo to want to purchase this product?
If the image is being created for the model's portfolio, it must be designed to appeal to the kinds of clients from whom she is hoping to gain employment. These may include designers, magazines, product manufacturers, jewlers, and any other industry where models are employed. In addition, the images must showcase the model's best attributes, conceal any problem areas, and appeal to her own aesthetic sensibilities and personality. Again, ask yourself some questions: What are we trying to show? What will inspire the client to hire this model? The purpose of creating the model's portfolio is to show a wide range of looks and to feature her best attributes. Ultimately, you want the potential client to see something in her book that he can relate to and, based on that, want to hire her. As you can imagine, all of this means that getting a great model shot is definitely not a matter of luck. One simply doesn't happen across the perfect model in the perfect position with the perfect lighting and grab a camera. Creating that flawless, captivating photograph requires patience, skill, knowledge, and commitment. It also requires mastery of all of the other aspects of professional photography. Technical Changes. No matter how experienced you are as a photographer, there are always new techniques to learn-new equipment, new film and capture methods, and new styles. Your repertoire of techniques must always be changing and suited to the current taste of the market. This is especially true in the digital age, where technology grows by leaps and bounds with each passing day.
This is one of those books you see at the bookstore, and the cover immediately grabs your attention. Beautiful woman, great pose, killer lighting, super sharp, etc… so naturally you thumb through it. Inside you find more of the same – fantastic composition, colors, exposure, etc… of more gorgeous women. Now unless you are one of those lame people that reads the whole book right there in the bookstore, you then have to decide is this book worth my $20+ or is it another one of those books that has great images, but no substance. Well that’s the question I’ll answer for you in my review of this recent book by Billy Pegram. The title of this chapter has very little to do with the actual content. This chapter is very useful and informative, but should have been called “Miscellaneous” as that really describes what you get here. It starts off with “Determining the Model’s Best Market” and goes on to talk about age, height and overall appearance. Now how does that have anything to do with Matching the Light to the Image??? The chapter then proceeds to go through a couple case studies, then a discussion about the different types of modeling images (Fashion, Glamour, Lingerie, plus size, etc…). The net result again is useful information (especially what differentiates Fashion from Glamour), but it has nothing to do with chapter title. By this point you start to catch on that the author was probably given an outline of the chapters to write about from the publisher, but he pretty much wrote what he wanted and in many cases tried to stay at least in the ballpark of the chapter title. In this chapter he just said screw it and wrote whatever he thought was important to include in the book that wasn’t covered elsewhere. While his images suggest that he may have intended to stick to the subject.
