Rules for conducting model tests:
- clothes: clothes should be simple, not distracting
attention from the model (usually discreet clothes in
casual style, it is important that the figure of the model
is guessed in the photographs). Also, among the tests,
there may be several shots in which the model is dressed
in a sporty, business, classic style.
- a good model test usually consists of 3 complete
images, while it is advisable to use light, natural makeup
- it does not visually change the model's facial features.
Hairstyles are also simple - loose hair or laid in a simple
hairstyle (ponytail, braid, bun).
- photographs are taken from several angles: closeup
- portrait photo; middle plan - half-length portrait;
general plan - full-length photographs
- lighting for model tests: light is simple, without complex
lighting schemes, natural light from a window is suitable.
- interior: usually tests are filmed in the spirit of minimalism,
there should be nothing superfluous in the frame that
distracts from the model itself
- the requirements for modeling tests do not exclude
photographs that demonstrate the acting skills of
the model. It is good if among the tests there are
photographs that express any feelings or emotions.
- artistry: it should be remembered that model tests,
unlike snap-shots, can have artistic value and do not
exclude a creative approach.
