Magazine NOVIT MODELS KIDS™ №2/2021

From our experience, we have made sure that
many novice adult models, as well as parents of child's
models, are not very familiar with the term “model
tests” and do not know why these tests are needed in
a model portfolio. Therefore, we decided to prepare
material that could be useful for parents of novice
child models, as well as for photographers, stylists, etc.
Model tests are a "test" of a model. Usually, taking tests
is the next stage after snap-shots (more about them at
the end of the article). Model tests are photographs that
maximize the advantages of a model's appearance
and reveal her potential, demonstrate professional
skills and the ability to pose in front of the camera. At
the same time, when shooting tests, the model should
look as natural as possible.
The main task of model tests is to help a modeling
agency or customer in choosing the right model. Tests
are what you should first send to a potential customer
or intermediary agency when participating in a
casting. It is competently made professional model
tests that will help the customer to present the model
in one way or another during the search and selection
of a candidate. In modern conditions, the absence of
model tests in the portfolio can become a reason for
refusing to participate in the casting.
