Any teenager dreams to someday be a photographic or catwalk model.
Most of who want to do part time model work while still at school
for extra money. The question always is: where do I start !
Charl Best boasts with 15 international photography exhibitions and
have already made three documentary films. He is also a lecturer in
photography and video production at the Stellenbosch Institute For
Photographic and Multimedia Studies in Stellenbosch and a
competent pilot, make-up artist yachtsman and entrepreneur.
His advice to aspiring models
is to do a complete course, like their distance training course, about
what to do and what not to do. The model industry is small and
exclusive and mistakes are not allowed. Best Models’ distance
training course is one of the most complete courses available and
covers all the different aspects of model work. Depending on a
model’s qualities, he will have to specialize, that’s why he has
to learn photographic, catwalk, television and advertisement
techniques.
These techniques also help a student in his relationships with
people and with his future career if he only wants to draw finishing
touches from this course. A model must also know how to project
himself, for example how to give a proper expression for the correct
advertisement. He must also be able to do his own make-up and
hairstyling, put together a professional portfolio with proper
photographs and with the course he is learned how to choose the
correct agent and photographer to present him. The great advantage of
Best Models is their new distance training model and finishing
course.
Through videos, notes and a photo session anyone, even teenagers
seeking a finishing course, can between six months and a year,
complete the course. Best Models guarantees personal
attention and evaluation for up to three years after the course.
You can also join the Best Model Club which qualifies you for a
newsletter and workshops.
