When the sun shines, the sky is blue and the natural world is bursting with colour, it may be time to consider capturing some stunning new outdoor modelling shots.
As you know, at Models Direct we love nothing more than seeing superb new photos uploaded on to your e-portfolio.
And we always suggest taking great new pictures that tie in with the season so they look fresh and up to date.
Summer, of course, is a fabulous time to do this because (on the whole!) the weather is better, the colours are more vivid and there are lots of great outdoor locations to choose from.
Female and male models should ask a friend or relative to help them out by stepping in to act as their photographer for a couple of hours. Then follow our top tips…
Mums and dads of baby and child models can, of course, take snaps of their little ones themselves.
So where could you go to get some stunning outdoor modelling shots this summer?
Well, you don’t have to venture too far unless you want to!
If you have a garden or outside space with some lovely greens and seasonal colour, then start there.
Otherwise, head off to your nearest park or public garden, where you could take some great photos in front of leafy trees and vibrant flowerbeds.
Think about whether you have a pretty woodland, lovely lake or picturesque river close by.
You could get some fantastic new pictures and perhaps have a picnic or a fun afternoon out at the same time.
Days out to the beach, countryside or other beauty spots can, of course, also make fabulous locations for summer photography.
Just try to ensure that no-one else is in the background and that you and whatever you are wearing stands out clearly against your scenic background.
Be wary of taking your pictures in bright, glaring sunlight – stand in the shade if the sunlight is too bright and always ensure the sun is behind the photographer.
Existing models can then head home afterwards, select the best pictures and upload them to their e-portfolio.
Those who have not yet joined us can upload a few of their new summer modelling shots with their application form.
So plan a date, check the weather on the day and then get out and about!
We can’t wait to see your sizzling new summer shots – and some of the beautiful places you have visited!
