This goal might include working as the brightest new shining star for Elite, Ford or one of the other major modeling agencies in New York City, or maybe Miami.   This is no small goal but nothing is totally impossible if you are like this lady ....   She's Got the Look !!   Are people always telling you that you have a fashion model look and now you have decided to pursue modeling as your future career. Before you take this giant step, remember that fashion modeling involves much more than just looking beautiful.   A major factor in becoming a success in the modeling industry is by learning to pose properly. If you happen to be one of the few lucky women who has the instinct to pose naturally that's great, but if not, read the 5 suggestions below and practice, practice, practice.     1. Practice Different Fashion Poses before Going to Photo Shoots   When you become a high fashion model, you may be offered a job modeling the latest in clothing, shoes, hats and other wardrobe accessories from top designers.   Be prepared for this job offer by practicing poses in front of a full length mirror with clothing, props and other products that you see advertised in high fashion magazines and on TV shows.   2. Focus on Body Posture   Always keep good body posture when posing for photo shoots unless instructed otherwise by your photographer. To give your abdomen a more toned appearance, hold your stomach in.   Position your hands where they will fall naturally and keep your fingers slightly apart. Practice different ways of positioning your hands and tilting your head.   3. Practice Facial Expressions   Stay relaxed and pay close attention when giving different facial expressions. When posing, your expressions should be spontaneous.   Make your poses come alive by practicing how to give the "look." Learn this by closing your eyes, imagining a thought, opening your eyes and selling the thought.   4. Do Test Shoots with Professional Female Fashion Model Photographers   Test shooting or Time for Prints (TFP) can be very helpful for your future career.   You not only get professional pictures for your model portfolio, but you also get practice in posing and making expressions in front of the camera. Choosing a Girl Photographer for Your Fashion Shoot   If you decide to try the test shoot, choose a reputable female fashion photographer that you feel comfortable with. Remember, it is very important to keep your portfolio updated and this is a great way to do this without spending a fortune. Just make sure the photographer shoots the pictures you need which include:   Black and White Headshot Business Shot Strong Fashion Pic Casual Shot Bikini or Lingerie Photo Artistic Picture   5. Show Self Confidence with Your Posing Skills   Did you know that beauty is not the only talent clothing designers look for in fashion models? They want a model that shows self confidence in themselves, because the confidence will also show in the clothing or product the model is presenting. Your self assurance will shine through when you are posing for the camera so keep practicing by visiting photographers until you feel very comfortable under the strobe lights of the studio.   Build your self-confidence by studying and practicing. Learn to say "Oh Well, There Will Be Another Chance" when you are turned down. One day the self confidence you have obtained will be the major factor in making your dream come true.   Now, strut your stuff and show the fashion designers just what you have to offer them with your newfound female fashion model posing techniques.   Bob Pardue is a professional stock and female fashion model photographer located in the Carolina area USA.
