If you are a model, you know how important it is to make a good first impression. In the modeling industry, one of the ways to do that is by submitting high-quality polaroids to modeling agencies. Polaroids are essentially natural photos that showcase your raw beauty without any makeup, fancy clothing, or professional lighting.
If you’re an aspiring model who wants to travel the world, you can’t underestimate the importance of good polaroids. They may be what changes the mind of an international scout to sign you or not. Therefore, taking the time and effort to capture your best angles and submit them promptly to modeling agencies is crucial.
At Cosmos Model Management, we understand how polaroids can make or break a model’s career. That’s why we ask all our models to submit digital snapshots that follow our guide. Here’s how to capture your best angles for modeling agencies:
Step 1: Find the Right Location
The location you choose to take your polaroids can greatly impact the final result. Ideally, you should look for a professional studio setting with controlled lighting, ample space, and a dedicated setup for capturing high-quality natural pictures, but, we know that is not available to everyone.
So you should look for a well-lit area that’s free from clutter and distractions. Take your polaroids during the day in natural daylight and avoid using exaggerated flash or artificial lighting as they can alter your skin tone and create shadows.
Step 2: Dress Appropriately
When taking polaroids, less is more. You should wear form-fitting, simple clothing such as skinny jeans, t-shirt or tank top. Avoid any clothing with loud prints or patterns that can distract from your natural beauty. Remember, the focus should be on your face and body, and don’t forget to cover all the angles below.
Step 3: Go Natural
Polaroids are meant to showcase your natural beauty, so it’s essential to avoid wearing any makeup or accessories. Keep your hair natural and avoid using any hair products that create a dramatic effect. If you have any tattoos or piercings, show them off in your polaroids as well.
In conclusion, taking good polaroids is an essential part of the modeling business, and all aspiring models should invest time and effort into capturing their best angles. At Cosmos Model Management, we prioritize high-quality polaroids, which is why we provide our models with a guide to follow when taking them.
