      Tatiana Kurnosova thanks so much, you’re so kind! I couldn’t find a basic white or gray wall that wasn’t overly exposed to the light (I went out on a partly cloudy day) and I kept squinting when I tried another area. BUT I took some photos on my patio and the lighting was much better. Hoping to get more shots soon on a cloudier day or find an area with a bit more shading.

      Hi Luc, first of all, thank you so much for watching my videos! I appreciate your support :)
      And if talking about digitals / polaroids - they shouldn't be edited at all.
      As for the other photos, I think there are many tutorials on UA-cam already. There are so many talented photographers who shares these kind of videos. I'll be honest - I'm not a fan of editing at all and I'm not sure I have a lot to share about it... I try not edit my photos at all, because I like them being as natural as possible, but when I do, I simply do it intuitively and edit based on my taste.
      Anyways, we'll see. If it will be interesting for me in the future, maybe I'll upload something like that.
      Have a nice day!

    • @TatianaKurnosova
      @TatianaKurnosova  2 роки тому +1

      Hello Maria and thank you for watching 💜
      At first you only need digitals for modeling agency application, you don’t necessarily need to have a portfolio at that moment ( but if you’ll have some professional photos / portfolio, you can send them along with the digitals, so the agency could see that you have some experience. But again, it’s not a must ). And after that you will need the digitals for applying for jobs. Modeling agency shows them to the client per request or if you work freelance you can show them to potential clients by yourself too ( if they’ll ask ).
      Digitals usually aren’t being included to portfolio. It’s 2 different things :) But you will need them even after you’ve got signed with an agency and models need to constantly update their digitals.

    • @TatianaKurnosova
      @TatianaKurnosova  2 роки тому +1

      You’re welcome. It’s better to start earlier, because modeling industry is highly competitive. But it’s been contstantly changing for the past few years, so there are more opportunities for models even in their 20s ( several years ago the models “retirement” age was around 21-23 years old ) and older since now is the time of diversity. Just do what feels right for you at the moment. If you’ll still be into modeling after graduating university, then why not? :)

    what should i do if i have acne scars? they are fading away but they are still there. should i apply or wait?

    • @TatianaKurnosova
      @TatianaKurnosova  2 роки тому

      Hello Susan, you definitely need to work on healing your acne scars ( use some creams etc ) but I would suggest you applying to the modeling agency anyways. Even if you will get rejected, you know what you can improve. And if the agency will see the potential in you, they may “keep you in mind” or even accept you on the condition that your skin will be improved etc. or maybe they will even give you some advices on it.
      So my answer is - definitely apply. If you’ll get rejected - don’t be sad and try again later. Meanwhile you can work on your portfolio and learn more about the industry.
      Wishing you best of luck! 💙

      You can do modeling and being at the University at the same time, but it might be quite hard. Some models only work during summer break, so others choose distance education and etc. I'd say everything depends on you and your priorities.

      It doesn't matter if you have a flat nose, or big nose, or too small nose and etc. The only thing that matters is how your face looks in general (the harmony of facial features) and your proportions. I've talked about the most popular facial features in modeling / types of model looks here ua-cam.com/video/4yDjfBjOP94/v-deo.html It's a very detailed video, so I recommend you to watch it.
      And also there's a video How to become a model ua-cam.com/video/B_sPK2Ewy-U/v-deo.html it's a step by step guide for signing up with modeling agency and / or work freelance.
      Hope it'll help and good luck! :)
