subject: Want to be a model, then you need to be properly prepared [print this page] We often get aspiring models coming into the shop looking for lingerie for a 'shoot', looking for something that will give them that particular look, whatever the look might be. Girls looking to model in one of the lads mags, such as Nuts or Zoo look for something that emphasizes their assets, with sexy bras, often padded, usually a cup size too small, so that their boobs look like they are ready to jump out. Models who are putting a portfolio together for fashion and lingerie modelling often go for something more sophisticated and properly fitted, as they know that the market they want to work in, is aimed at a primarily female audience. I read recently some advice given to aspiring models from a professional photographer who talked about models needing to using their acting ability and their figure as their trade. So when putting a portfolio together it is important that you research the trends as to the latest fashions and invest wisely in outfits that will complement your figure and fashion lingerie that is properly fitted. What you are looking for is something that makes you look more attractive through what you are wearing not something that takes away from your natural looks. If you want to succeed as a model you need to be prepared to make an investment in what you wear for your portfolio shoot. To quote the photographer, 'a couple of ropy padded bras from the supermarket just won't do it'. So shop wisely, be fitted professionally for your bra, have your hair and make up professionally done and then get your photographs taken. Good luck.
