IS MODELING REALLY A FORM OF AN ART?

Posted on Categories FASHION, MODELSLeave a comment

In today’s society, modelling has become a catalyst, as it now encourages change in the fashion system and industry.
Models are the face behind the brand. The women who walk the runway have the power to inspire editors, buyers, and fashion lovers to covet a particular piece.

Throughout history, they have defined and defied typical beauty standards, set new precedents, and popularized trends. In today’s world, the model has a greater voice and presence than ever. As street style icon, role model, and activist, she has the power to challenge conventions and connect to social media audiences on a massive scale.

Much as fashion modelling involves using models to show off a particular type of fashion and art, Models are also meant to be more artistic since they represent the art work(modeling). It should show in their expressions, communications, looks, skills. A model should be creative and express herself through certain skills like painting, music (playing the guitar, piano, pan pipes etc), drawing and sketching, just to name a few and these become unique skills found in models.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE MODELS WHO CHANGED FASHION INDUSTRY:

Imam
Dovima
Twiggy
Cindy Crawford
Carla bruni
Kate Moss
Ajak Deng
Alek Wek
Naomi Campbell, just to name a few.

4 TOP TIPS TO HELP YOU TAKE MIND BLOWING PHOTOS

Posted on Categories FASHION, LIFESTYLE & ARTSLeave a comment
In this era of ours where photos play a key role in our social lives.We can’t go unconcern with the photos we put out for display. Lets get some simple ways we can kill the shots we take.
Firstly of all, you must know that photos are not only about the person in it but also the background. If you didn’t know now you can reflect on it, all the good photos you see have great backgrounds.You can wear the most beautiful outfit and have the best grooming but without a qualifying background, you can’t kill that photo.
If you want to get a wow photo, then you’ve got to forget your problem, because when you’re stressed, that is exactly what is seen in the photo and  no one likes to look at such photos. Before you take a photo,try your possible best to relax. Also drink plenty of water. It does work.
Practice has always made one perfect. So if your goal is to  have a wow photo,then your mirror is your companion in achieving it. Stand in front of the mirror and try all poses and you will surely  find the one pose that works for you.It also builds your self confidence which makes it easy to have that wow  photo.
Lastly,when taking a photo don’t be static,move and be playful and have fun. Don’t forget the best shot will be selected after so don’t bother over which pose  to give which makes the whole experience boring and time consuming and also try to be interactive with the photographer.

To be in sync to such a degree that we forget we are looking at two unique souls, is a compelling prospect. Crystal & Krusha float free wrapped in each other’s energy, as they fly through the sky on a crazy kind of high. Beauty blooms in a bouquet of taut bodies, as they stretch to connect to the undulating rhythm of the night. No beginning and no ending marks this editorial by the fluidity of fashion.
