Including a Modeling Photo Shoot in Your Schedule

By participating in our video shoot, a modeling shoot is also available to you free of charge and is optional. If you want to obtain modeling-type photos during your time with us, take the additional preparation steps described here. You you pose and what you wear is entirely your choice.

Preparation for Modeling Photos: Tans Important

If you want modeling-type photos created of you during your time with us, start tanning at least three weeks in advance to develop a full body tan, which allows you flexibility in poses - because your body will not have tan lines. For modeling photos, be sure to also avoid developing a tan line on your legs from wearing shorts.

Wear the Same Underwear Each Time You Tan

Tan lines are usually bad, but having a tan line in the shape of tighty-whiteys is acceptable. To develop this type of tan line, always wear the same briefs when tanning. When you tan in different briefs you can get a tan line similar to shown above.

Prepare Day Before Your Photo Shoot

• Tidy up every part of you from head to toe. Every detail should be at its best and clean. (fingernails, toenails, nose hair, straighten up sideburns, back of neck shaved, etc.) Remember, make no drastic changes to your hair style! Consider getting a manicure, if possible.

Obtain a LOT of Sleep and Do Not Party or Drink Alcohol

• Sleep is surprisingly important to your appearance. Lack of sleep can produce dark circles under your eyes that are readily seen by the camera. Get eight hours sleep the night before you travel to your shoot. Do not plan anything the night before. Just go home and go to bead early.

What to Bring

• Bring your favorite music and anything else that can make you feel comfortable.

• Pack items to include in your Model bag.

A rule of thumb: If there is a chance you might need something at a shoot, bring it! It is better to avoid the chance of being without something you need. For example, one shoot with Brad had him posing in a waterfall. Water got into his eyes and irritated his contact lenses, distracting him and effecting his performance. However, he forgot to bring his contact lens holder. It pays to be prepared!

Bring jewelry and accessories if you wish. A bracelet, anklet, necklace, cap, bandanas, rings, earring, etc., can be an added touch that can give you a different look from other students.
