Everyone knows that the profession of a model requires girls to comply with their parameters to certain standards. The generally accepted model parameters for girls and women who work in this area are "" (chest, waist and hips). In this case, growth can be in the range of 170-185 centimeters. Such parameters of the model appearance allow the girl to look equally harmonious on the catwalk and in the camera lens. However, there are many more exceptions to the rule.
Not a single bodyOf course, standard or close to standard parameters of a model figure is a basic requirement for working in the modeling business. But the face is also important. Surprisingly, it shouldn't be memorable. A model is not a person, but a canvas on which stylists, designers, makeup artists and hairdressers embody their ideas. A neat straight nose, not narrow and not too plump lips, an oval face, a flawless smile - these are the characteristics that are preferable. In addition, girls applying for the role of a model cannot cut their hair short, and their eyebrows must have a natural shape (no plucking, correction, tattooing).
It is worth noting that in different countries the requirements for the parameters differ. If on the territory of the CIS countries up to 5 centimeters can be added to "90-60-90", and the height can be 168-170 centimeters, then in Europe and America the owners of miniature "88-58-86" with an increase from 178 to 180 centimeters. Among other things, the model must have acting talent, charisma and an agreeable character. Of course, there are exceptions - the quarrelsome and hysterical Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, whose height is 167 centimeters, and Katya Zharkova with a 52nd clothing size, but they are unique in their own way.

Since we wrote about searching for models on the Internet two years ago, a lot has changed, including our idea of what this article should be like.
Fashionbank
For those who have just recently taken a great interest in photography, we have prepared a “Large selection of sites for photographers”. Here you will find tons of useful resources for photography and photo editing.
About sites where you shouldn't go for models:
In contact with
On the VKontakte social network, there are a lot of groups dedicated to finding photographers and models. Our experience shows that the likelihood of finding an interesting model here is the exception rather than the rule. Many of those who sit in groups are inexperienced and have no idea what a serious photo shoot is. Searching for a VKontakte model is long and impractical.
Napodiume.ru
Napodiume.ru- another social network for photographers and models. Unlike Face.ru, Napodium cannot offer anything really interesting to photographers and models. It makes no sense to hang out there, and responses to auditions are very mediocre.
- Ask the model to send in various photographs of herself. The point is that there are “foreshortened” models, ie. people who look profitable and interesting only from certain angles.
- Agree in advance on the possibility of selling and publishing photos. It will be very unpleasant if, right before the shooting, it turns out that the model is against selling her photos and thereby disrupts the shooting.
- Often, when searching for a model on the Internet, you can see the abbreviation TFP in the description of the shooting conditions. TFP stands for Time For Print. That is, the photographer does not pay the model for shooting, and the model receives photos without paying for the photographer's services. This is the most common option for free collaboration between models and photographers. But when removing TFP, you must sign an agreement with the model - "model release". Otherwise, you may have problems selling or selling photos. To know,
We offer at your service the largest database of photo models in Russia and Ukraine.
Here you can find a model by parameters (age, height, volume, hair color) in your city. If you need models for an exhibition, for a fashion show or as a party-girl, you can easily find them in our catalog and contact them directly through private messages.
How do I search for models on this site?
The PodiumStars database, which is replenished with dozens of new members every day, has both slender female models and handsome male models. We manually check all profiles to protect our members from unwanted contacts. Note the icon under the photo model card - its presence means that the person this person confirmed.
An important indicator of the professionalism and reliability of the artist is the number of positive and negative reviews that is displayed after the icons and respectively. All reviews are also manually checked by a moderator.
In addition to catwalk shows and photo shoots, there are many situations where the services of fashion models may be required. Very often, models are needed for an event - for example, to work at a stand at an exhibition, or a hostess for a party, or staff for a presentation of a new product. In any of the above situations, PodiumStars will become your faithful assistant.
