5 Simple Poses to Get Started with Modeling

It’s time to throw away the misconception that looking good is enough for Singapore model to succeed. There is definitely a need to be equipped with the proper techniques to flaunting your body as well. Mastering various different poses is necessary in order to stand out from the crowd. If you are an aspiring model or see yourself in modeling in the future, then get up from your seat, go to a mirror and practice these poses!

Try a Good Portrait Photograph

Usually, hands are not used in portraits, but if used well can create a very seductive appeal. Don’t grab your neck or face with your hands. Touch your cheeks and lips lightly with your finger tips and open your mouth slightly. This provides a subtle attractive appeal to your portrait photo.

Simple and Elegant

Turn your body slightly to the side with the hands in your back pocket. If you find that uncomfortable you can simply place your hands on your hips.

Sensual Pose

Put your hands above your head and make the S shape with your body showing off your curves.

Full Height and Body Pose

This is a simple yet powerful pose quintessential for female models. Body curved in an S shape, with one hand on one hip and the other hand stretched out straight, leaning the weight on the side where the hand is on the hip. Let the hair loose and flow down on the leaning side, this will add beauty to the pose.

Use a Wall

Simply rest your upper back against a wall, with one leg on the ground and the other on the wall in a relaxed posed. You may choose to use the wall to put your hand and legs with your creativity.

Looking good in person alone doesn’t make someone a model. To be part of the Singapore model a photogenic and camera friendly look is necessary. This can be trained and cultivated by mastering the modeling poses and runway walking. With enough hard work, you may become a model too!

4 Beauty Tips from Singapore Models

Singapore’s weather has been tremendously unpredictable and has that been affecting your skin and beauty? Well, you might have gotten advice from many different people, but let us compile for you the four most essential beauty tips from model Singapore that you must follow this season!

1.    Wear Sunscreen


The face of Neutrogena Singapore and the front line woman of skincare, Aimee Cheng-Bradshaw revealed to Her World Plus, that wearing sunscreen is the most important beauty rule to follow. It is not news to say that cold weather is much better for skincare as it leads to lesser acne breakout and tighter skin. However, with temperatures soaring above 32°C on a normal afternoon it is no easy feat to maintain a smooth healthy skin.

When choosing the best sunscreen brands we should never obsess over the SPF value too much as higher SPF values only give material protection. Instead, we should look out for UVA (wrinkling protection) and UVB (burning and tanning) protection that protects the skin more completely. Key values to identify are the PA value and water resistance capabilities as well.

Some recommended brands above SPF15 (doctor’s recommended levels for UVB protection) and UVA protection that works well with make-up are Neutrogena Clinical Fine Fairness Multi-Protect UV Fluid, Eau Thermale Avène Very High Protection Sun Care, DrGL Sun Protection Mist, Shiseido’s Global Suncare Perfect UV Protector.

2.    Invest in cleansing products


This is a basic yet cardinal rule for all women. The day starts with a clean face and ends with a clean face. Make-up no matter how organic isn’t a natural substance that should be on the face constantly. It is essential to let your skin breathe throughout the night. Even if there is no time or it is inconvenient to wash the face, minimally use cleansing wipes to conveniently do the job quickly and effectively. But you would have to agree that splashing the face with water and scrubbing off the makeup with an oil-based remover is a pretty good feeling. Additionally, if you are interested in further hydrating your face you can apply refiner, essence, and moisture cream in that order. If you sleep with the Aircon, your skin dries faster and moisturizing is more necessary as well. Else, a glass of water with a good night’s sleep ought to do the trick.

3.    You are what you drink


For healthy skin and beauty, especially under the hot weather, the standard eight glasses of water a day are quintessential to a natural skin glow. Additionally, drinking a glass of warm water with a slice of lemon or lemon juice in it is the best way to trigger the liver to start detoxifying. Removing toxins from your body helps regulate the natural bodily processes and work to keep your skin beauty in check.

4.    Oily skin


Perhaps the most common problem, not just for a modelSingapore based, but even for international top models who are younger. Natural oil on the skin actually has a purpose of protecting your skin and anti-ageing properties so it’s not a good idea to keep your skin dry all the time as well. Instead, massage a cleanser or exfoliating gel with glycolic acid to remove dirt and dead cells while hydrating the skin and preventing oil secretion.

Top 3 Tips for a New, Aspiring Model

As an aspiring Singapore model, the competition can be tough and it’s hard to become a top contender in the business without knowing the best tips and strategies in the field. So read on carefully and follow these tips religiously if you are looking for a successful modeling career.



Choosing the right model agency

    This can be harder than expected because of the numerous options at our disposal. The trick here is simple, RESEARCH. Not all modeling agencies will suit your style, so research on the various types of modeling jobs (fashion model, editorial or publication model, fashion shows, or television commercial acting model etc.) and choose the best Singapore model agency that suits your interest.

Any credible agency would prove itself by showing their model’s testimonials and reviews. Find out what the models have to say about their experiences, and you will be able to roughly figure out the kind of future you can expect there. Most importantly be careful of the fakes and stick to credible and well- established agencies.

Submit the best photos to get selected

    Once the right agency is chosen, applying to it requires a good sense of the industry as well. A standard resume and cover letter is a requirement, but in this industry, your photos take the top precedence. Agencies or employers are not looking for grandiose or modelesque photos to be submitted. In fact, that may be contra-positive to your chances. It may give the impression that you are a model who can fit into a particular style of modeling or someone that expects too much from the agency.

Agencies prefer to work with a blank canvas and mold you into the model that they believe suits your style. This requires you to send photos that are simple in clothing, minimalistic in make-up, void of unnecessary accessories, and most importantly portraying your natural beauty. Give various expressions and style. When in doubt just be simple and make sure your photos are unedited and an accurate representation of your normal physical appearance.

Keep your figure and personality in check


    Being a model is not simple about being a pretty face or having the perfect body. You have to know how to deal with your body. A confident personality is a must. During a photo shoot every single part of your body is working, like a dancer, you have to aware of the positioning of your body parts from your hair to your toe. Most importantly you have to be relaxed and confident with showing off your body. The energy that emanates from you in the photographs far outweighs your natural looks.

Also, despite the kind of model of you are, even if you are plus sized, there are certain specific requirements that you have to meet, thus exercise, eat healthily and keep yourself in shape. A healthy lifestyle also means your skin will show a naturally radiant glow, and make you a modeling asset.

Choosing the right Singapore model agency would mean half the war is won. The other half is about how far you willing to improve and develop yourself. Practice modeling poses by top models appearing on Vogue, Victoria’s secret or YouTube guide etcetera and do your research before getting involved in various projects. Best of luck to you to your aspirations!

What Kind of Photos to Submit for Model Agency Representation?

To get to the interview table of a Singapore model agency, your photos are akin to a resume. It is vital to submit the best quality and different type of photos, preferably on your first attempt, to nail a solid impression and get the best modeling jobs possible. We list a few tips and rules to photo submission that is incredibly useful in getting recognized and wanted by an agency.

1.    When in doubt, go simple.

Modeling agencies are not interested in a ready-made product. More often than not, it gives the impression that you are inflexible and can only work with limited styles. Agencies would much rather prefer a model that they can match styles with and develop from scratch.
There is no need to submit studio quality shots. Simple portraits with adequate lighting and clarity are enough. Furthermore, if your shots don’t suit the style the agency wants (For example you take editorial photo shoots rather than television commercial shoots) you might appear unappealing. Agencies are not expecting grandeur; they want to see your raw and authentic beauty as much as possible for them to determine the kind of model they have to work with. 

2.    Minimalism in style.
Don’t dress extravagantly in your photos (i.e. wedding dresses, prom dresses, expensive suits etcetera). Simple, plain colored clothing is enough. Most importantly, do not wear over revealing, or sexually provocative clothes. A Singapore model starting out is never required to send nudes or anything sexually sensitive unless you are a professional and established model and have filled in the proper paperwork for it.

Animal fur clothing is another issue you want to avoid. Fashion today is adapting to that which does not hurt other living beings or the environment. If the viewer of your photograph is sensitive on such issues, it may, in turn, affect your chances of joining the agency.

3.    Reveal your natural beauty.

Do not paint your face with excessive make-up, cosmetics or jewelry. A female model just needs to apply a little foundation, mascara, blush and lipstick, and a male model can apply a bit of powder without a noticeable change. For kids, it’s best to not have any make-up at all. Do wear any form of jewelry, but in minimal. Beyond affecting your natural look, do give the impression that you look and feel confident about yourself. This is very important as agencies want to view your natural face and the blank canvass that you provide them to work with.  

4.    Don’t reveal your crazy and wild side.

Don’t submit photos that you took at a party last Friday night; Save it for Instagram. In general, do not submit photos with anyone in it other than yourself. Submit your single photo with class and professionalism.

5.    Flaunt it, if you have it.

If you do want to show your lively and eccentric personality in a professional manner you can try posing with a swimsuit. Confidence is the key and do make efforts to appear natural on your photos.

6.    One head shot and one body shot at a minimum.  Give a variety of emotions.

Take one head and one body shot at a minimum. Show left, and right poses. Don’t smile in all photos, use your creativity and show various emotions to show your expressive versatility. Don’t be stingy with your expressions.  

7.    Make sure your photos are an actual representation of your physical body.

Never submit a photo which is totally different what you look like. The last impression you want to make is that you’re a person that lacks integrity or confidence. It will also disappoint the agency you are applying for when they meet a totally different person from what they saw on your photograph.



8.    Let your hair loose.

Ok, 2 things here, one is the metaphorical version of the expression, be completely relaxed in your photographs. One of the key distinctions between a model and others is his/her confidence. Do not show your stress. Next, in the literal sense let your hair loose, keep it neat and luscious. Agencies want to know what kind of hair you have that they can work with.

9.    Avoid background clutter.

Do not distract the viewer with too many things in the background. The agency wants to see only YOU, so stick with solid colored backgrounds.

10.    Provide your contact details.

Agencies will be quick to call you for an interview upon glancing through your photographs so make sure while providing your accurate contact information you remain contactable. You will also be contacted for jobs if you are selected, so be readily contactable.

A good photograph is a product of a countless number of attempts. Thus, invest time and effort in creating photos that will stand out from your competition.  A Singapore model of today will have a tough time out beating the competition in the growing modeling industry. All in all, do your homework on the agency before submitting your photographs.
