Modeling is hard work, and a lot of fun. But there is much more to it that that. After working in the business a while you will come away with a few new skills that can be applied to the rest of your life. Over time, working as a model will help develop your expertise in several areas that are more useful than you may realize.
1. You'll take better photos. During a photo shoot, literally hundreds of photos are taken. Usually only one will get used. A lot of them will look funny or weird. Some will be spectacular. The more photos you take, the more you really get to look at how you act in front of the camera. Certain angles will make you look awkward, and some will make you look long and lean. After a while you learn which poses are the best for you. You learn which angles suit your facial features and figure the best. When your friends are taking your photo on the beach or your posing with your loved one, you'll know how to hold yourself so you look both beautiful and natural.
2. Your style will improve. As a model you will work with all different kinds of designers and clothing stores. You will get to wear endless amounts of different shoes, dresses, jewelry etc. You will learn which styles flatter your body the best. Which colors and combinations really make you shine. You'll become more confident in choosing your everyday wear because you will be more familiar with a wider array of clothing styles. The most stylish clothing won't seem so risky because you've been there and done that. You can wear anything with confidence. You will also be able to walk in heels with confidence. Practice on the runway will be great for when you show up to party in those stilettos.
3. You'll learn creative collaboration. Working with creative types like photographers, designers, hair and make-up artists is inspiring. Everyone is there to get great photos and everyone plays a very important part in the process. You become part of a creative team with a common goal. You learn to understand what the photographer is trying to accomplish and can work to fulfill that vision. After you've worked as model for a while, you learn how to become the character to fill the part the client is looking for. It's challenging to everyone to create the perfect mood and scenario for the shoot. In the end coming out with perfect photos is very rewarding for everyone involved. Learning how to work with others in this type of atmosphere is important day to day. You will develop patience, and your communication skills will improve.
These are just a few of the things you will learn working in this exciting and creative industry. It's a lifestyle and a very beneficial one if you let it be. Enjoy all the experiences. You'll notice how it enhances your everyday life.
