Now more about what snap-shots are and how they
differ from model tests.
Snaps are a set of shots from the necessary angles, made
according to a certain general standard, designed
to show the model's appearance, real data, without
embellishing it at all. The main difference from the tests
is the complete lack of artistry in the pictures, stingy
up the demonstration of external data of the model.
Snap-shot - (from the English word snap-shot, snapshot
- offhand shot, snapshot). When taking snapshots, no
makeup is used, the hair is loose and tied in a ponytail -
removed in both versions. Clothing that demonstrates
the figure as much as possible. For children, models are
to shins and bodysuits, or leggings and a tight-fitting
T-shirt. Photos are taken from several angles - full-face,
profile on both sides, back, turned 45 degrees to the
camera - also on both sides, a portrait with a full-mouth
smile so that teeth are visible, a shot with open ears,
a full-length portrait, and belt. Photos are devoid of
vivid emotions - a calm facial expression works best,
except for a few shots with a smile. The background
on which the shooting is performed should be light
and monotonous, the light should be diffused, filling,
soft. Snapshots imply a complete lack of processing
- any agency will be able to check whether the file
(your photo) was edited and if it was, the snap will
be rejected - therefore, snapshots are often taken on
snapshots like Polaroid and its analogs.
