What makes a good model?

A lot of young women these days are turning to modelling as a career.
Which is great! I'm all about supporting self-employed people!

However modelling isn't as easy as it looks!

It might look like it's a few hours of just looking pretty in front of a camera, but this could not be more wrong.


So I'm going to start with saying a good model does their prep. Once they get a booking they will then talk with the photographer/ client & find out the photo shoot concept & brief. This allows them time to buy clothing items, props, plan their hair & make up accordingly.


Another sign of a good model is them arriving on time for shoots & ready. Like everything time is money. So if they've done their make up & hair before arriving at a shoot they're pretty much ready to shoot straight away.


Also a good model doesn't just stand in front of the camera. They pose & move rhythmically into the next pose. If you get the chance to watch a good model working you'll know what I mean. They know their body so well they know which angles are flattering & which are a big no no!
They will also model head to toe not forgetting to pose even their little finger.

These are just a few things that are an indicator of a good model.
As a photographer you get to know the good from the not so good.

So if you are thinking of doing some modelling, do your research & practice!

If I Only Had Five Shoes...

I saw this video on Evelina's youtube channel & loved the sound of it!
So I wanted to film my own version of 'If I Had Five Shoes'.

So here are the five pairs of shoes I chose, if I could only have have five.

The first pair are my Topshop wedges, these are my most comfort heels & it's always good to have a wedge in your wardrobe!

The second pair are wedges too but in the form of a hidden heel. These are my much loved Nike Sky High Dunks. I wear these everyday, literally everyday! I cannot live without them!

The third pair are another pair of Nike's, these are my running trainers. I picked these because what else would I wear to workout? Plus the arch support in these is great & essential for me.

The fourth pair are my only pair of designer shoes, which are my Jimmy Choo's. These are such a classic style of shoe, it's hard to say no.

The last pair are my Kurt Geiger Carvela heels with the crystals on the heel, just because well they're gorgeous & they fit really nicely.

Pout Paint

I think this year is the year of trying new brands. As this is another 'first product' by the brand Sleek.
Sleek is UK available drugstore brand.

This product is meant to be similar to the OCC Lip Tars, it's a liquid lipstick style product but in a squeezy tube.


Firstly the packaging although small and compact can be a bit of a pain as you only need the tiniest amount of this product and it's easy to squeeze out too much. So be warned, go with the saying 'less is more'.

They have a mix of natural & bright colour so if you're a make up artist these could be a great option.
The product also has an oily base to it, so it's quite a nourishing non-drying formula.

The wear time is pretty good, I would say at least 4 - 6 hours wear. Which I'd say is about average for a liquid lipstick. It doesn't seem to break up as much or as quickly as some other liquid lipsticks I've tried, I would imagine this is due to the oil base.

It's a little difficult to remove, however I find that micellar water does the best job!

What's in my Clutch Bag

I love watching 'What's in my Bag' videos on youtube, but it's not very often people show us inside their clutch bags. So that's the topic of today's video!

My current favourite clutch bag is this nude one from River Island (I think it's still available on their website).
It's a great size, some clutch bags are just ridiculously small & useless as you can't fit anything in them.

So onto some of the things I have in my clutch bag:
- ID - my driving license.
- Money & Cards
- My iPhone
- Eye Drops
- Hand Sanitiser
- Lip Liner
- Lip Gloss
- Benadryl
- Mini Perfume
- Business Cards


What do you guys think? Am I missing anything I really need? Or is it all a bit too much?
