r/MODELING

I am a solo founder running an independent Made in Italy bikini project, and I’m here looking for fresh ideas and collaboration proposals from both amateur and expert photographers.

Since this is a fully self-funded, independent project, I don't have a massive budget everything comes straight out of my own pocket. However, I am putting myself on the line as the model, offering my brand, and what little I can afford, to completely surrender to your artistic vision.

The Brand & The Vision I know I can't compete with massive, generic brands that try to make a one-size-fits-all product, nor can I compete with overseas fast fashion that sells at a fraction of my costs. Because of this, I’ve realized my visual communication must be polarizing and exclusive. I need to speak directly to my specific niche, not the entire mainstream swimwear market.

I have to admit... I am currently failing at this. If you look at the content I’ve produced and already posted on my social you can clearly see that is average, I know it’s too basic, safe, and glossy. It doesn't have the edge my brand needs.

I am searching for photographers who have an incisive, different, and highly unique style, but who still know how to properly highlight the product and flatter the female physique.

If you want to take it further by doing something unconventional and striking, step forward! Pitch me your ideas, my DMs are open.

Got this email to my spam folder and I’m curious if this is a spam? I know it being in the spam folder says a lot but sometimes normal emails go to spam!

i took these pictures and finally made a full comp card. was wondering if there were any constructive criticism or suggestions on where i could fit in, (runway, editorial, commercial). i’m personally looking to get into runway/editorial.

Aiming for runway/high fashion. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I feel like I’m so unsure where to place my hands my arms sometimes.. also staring back at a camera can be intimidating

Any advice or feedback? I’d love to submit for lifestyle shoots

I am a commercial/ecom model for reference- 5’8.5”

I’ve been struggling with getting decent pictures. First photographer had me posing so unfortunately I couldn’t use those and my curls were so stiff + wind. So I tried again but I don’t think the quality on these came out the best (that and it was entirely too bright so I felt like my facia expression is off/unclear). What do you think?

did my first photoshoot on tuesday, got them last night. the photographer advised me to keep it as neutral and blank as possible so agencies have a good understanding of my look. i’m 5’8 so i’m not looking for runway, mainly commercial so i asked for a smiling picture.

i think these are pretty good, and i know i look pissed off in most of them but that’s just my blank expression😩 would love other pov on these

My first digitals from the other week as a new Face Model.

I am:

19 y/o

195 centimeter tall

Half swedish/sri lankan

Any opinions?

Recently started submitting to agencies and wanted some honest feedback on my digitals and overall potential.

178cm / India

Open to constructive criticism.

I am a photographer based in Atlanta, and my favorite genres to shoot can cover a number of styles. Editorial, dance, fine arts etc. My questions to models are what are things photographers can do to make your shoot experience more comfortable and memorable?

The digitals I took are fairly simple, admittedly;

•Full-body

•Side angle

•Above the knee and;

•Headshot

I'd appreciate any advice on what to include with these or how to make these look better!
