How To Convey Emotions Truthfully
How do I look excited? How do I radiate grief when I’m not sad at all? How can I develop anger at the push of a button? Typical thoughts and problems of a model. Acting talent is a must in the modeling business. Just like an actor, a good model must be able to slip into different roles. While the models learn different posing tricks, our photographer takes photos and performance videos with each student. English language skills are tested: Everyone must introduce themselves so as to correct their presentation skills. The newly learned posing techniques are demonstrated.
Catwalk and Coaching
In this segment you will learn how to strut your stuff on the runway with confidence. Runway is about selling, as you are always selling a product! You have to play a role not only during photo shoots, but also on the catwalk. You will learn different catwalk types and do exercises. You will learn how to pose for the camera with different emotions.
