Booking a Model digital photoshoot with Zavier DeAngelo Photography
What is a Model Digital ?
Model digitals, also known as model polaroids or digitals, are a series of simple, unretouched photographs taken of a model in natural light and minimal makeup. These images serve as a quick and accurate representation of the model's appearance, allowing modeling agencies and clients to assess the model's suitability for various assignments and projects.
Here's a breakdown of what model digitals typically include and the steps a model needs to prepare for a photoshoot like this
Headshot : A close-up photo of the model's face, showcasing their facial features and expressions.
Profile : A side-view photo of the model's face, capturing their profile.
Full-length Body Shot : A photo of the model standing upright and facing the camera, showing their body proportions and posture.
Side Profile Body Shot : A side-view photo of the model's full body, highlighting their silhouette from the side.
Back Shot: A photo of the model from the back, showing their posture and any distinguishing features.
Steps for Model Preparation
Grooming: Models should arrive at the photoshoot with clean, well-groomed hair and nails. Minimal makeup is preferred to showcase the model's natural beauty.
Wardrobe: Models should bring a swimsuit and a form-fitting, neutral-colored clothing that highlights their physique. Solid colors work best to avoid distractions in the photos.
Accessories : Keep accessories minimal or avoid them altogether to maintain a clean, uncluttered look.
Posing: Models should be prepared to follow the photographer's direction for posing. The goal is to capture natural and relaxed poses that highlight the model's features.
Confidence : Confidence is key during the photoshoot. Models should feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera to produce authentic and appealing images.
