While sharing another real life experience with you, I would
like to throw light on this aspect !
Few months back I got to meet a girl in a common gathering.
The teen was from Indo-Lebanese origin and that was the most dominating factor
about her looks. While conversing with her I came to know about her keen
interest in modeling. She was blessed with naturally flawless skin, wheatish
tone, prominent facial features, amazing height and an hour-glass figure. She has all the requisites to rock on the
ramp, only a bit of grooming and polishing were needed to give that final sheen
to her.
To begin with, I guided her to practice standing posture, eye
contact, walking, posing and many such tricks practicing it facing the mirror
for few days! For example, while posing in front of a camera try to relax instead
of getting camera conscious, as it reflects in the snaps. Similar to dance, modeling
is also all about positioning your body in flattering angles and interesting
postures. Avoid sticking to a pose for more than three seconds. Keep tweaking
your body with slight moves. I trained
her with the thought that power; status and confidence are non-verbally
conveyed through the standing posture. She should use her height to its best
and the space available to the most.
I also taught her that from captivating the audience to
express the words effectively; striking right eye contact is very crucial. It
is a non-verbal skill to communicate, often can speak louder than our words.
Similar to many other fields in modeling too people who make higher-levels of
eye contact with others are considered as more dominant and powerful, warm and
personable etcetera.
With a few weeks of learning and practice, the teen girl has
developed a refine taste for fashion and mastered the traits therein. Nothing
is impossible if you have a strong determination!
Work on self. Make a difference!!
