PHOTO SHOOT FOR DUMMIESEverybody in the world knows something is for sure … modeling is not easy. If you want the heads up of modeling to make it easier then read along. First things first, posture is very important in a shoot. You must always keep your back straight, your shoulders straight and always remember to suck in that stomach! It doesn’t matter your weight or shape, but keeping a good posture will always give the illusion of a great slim figure. Bad posture in modeling will give the illusion of a larger stomach. While keeping good posture and modeling, you must never lose concentration and don’t forget to breath well and to appear calm and not in pain. Also in posing, if a limb of your body is different from the other as to length or being straight always bend the other limb so the pose looks normal. It is nice and pleasant to give an asymmetrical look to the body in a photograph.When doing sitting poses never fully set the thigh on what you’re sitting on or else it’ll give the effect of large thighs. Also, you might want to shift parts of your body a bit or “roll” a hip up to give the illusion of a fit figure. When posing, you don’t always have to look directly at the camera; you can look away, squinting the eye a bit and tilting your head and neck if you want. Squint the eyes a bit so you don’t look like you’re staring off into space. If you look directly at the camera give the “look” some warmth and “flirt” a bit with the camera so you don’t give a cold stare. Also, you can show off a warm smile, or give the expression some variety like laughing or pouting. Another nice thing to do is “smile with your eyes.”You will also do a variety of types of photo shoots. One can be sort of the everyday photography. You don’t have to look like you are a broken-down doll, but like your everyday life with casual and everyday expressions. The other type of photography is in movement. When you are moving in a photo shoot you must always be aware of your face and body so you don’t look uncomfortable. Oh Yeah…never forget what you are selling! Always keep product visible and make it look good. The last two is a headshot when it focuses on the face and neck. In a body shot always be aware of the pose and don’t forget your body and face and keep these tips in your head. When doing these photographs, don’t forget that they are focused on you so give yourself some spa treatment. You deserve it! Claudia Lombardo (Assistant:Sharon Soprano)

Spring 2009 Fashion Weeks most Wearable Trends Along with loads of A-list celebrity sightings, New York Fashion Week is known for debuting important new fashion trends, and this season was no exception. While some, like sheer pants, bondage dresses and stomach-baring crop tops, are better left to red-carpet daredevils, there are plenty of pretty new styles anyone can pull off, including these fuss-free, flattering looks. Hot PinkWhile cobalt blue was the It color of 2008, magenta is shaping up to be the must-have shade of ‘09. Doo.Ri, Matthew Williamson and Adam Lippes coated their collections in the color—which is good news for the rest of us, as it flatters nearly every skin tone. Oversize NecklacesBig glittering necklaces topped off many spring looks, but few shone as brightly as those seen on Vera Wang’s runway. Extra-long lariats like hers streamline the silhouette and update any outfit. Translation? One bold necklace is all you need to look fit and fashionable! Black-on-White PrintThe little black dress just got a big boost: As seen at Oscar de la Renta’s show, artful black stripes on a white background make a fresh, graphic statement. The Oversize Pattern BagWhy carry a basic-black bag when there are so many perky, colorfully printed totes available? On the Miss Sixty runway, models carried bags that matched their sundresses—a bold look that surely would prevent anyone from mistakenly swiping your handbag. Big BanglesIf the exotic layered-on look à la Marc Jacobs spring 2009 seems too complicated, simplify the new style by slipping on a few big bangles. Mix-and-Match PatternsDesigners put patterns together in unexpected ways this season. To pull off the kooky-cool style without looking crazy, take cues from Michael Kors and stick to patterns that share the same hues. The Military JacketOften called the Sergeant Pepper jacket—for its appearance on the cover of the Beatles’ 1967 album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band—the cropped military coat returns for spring. With a sharply tailored fit and subtle embellishment on the front, the style serves as a great alternative to the jean jacket or blazer Color-Block PrintsYou’ll want to give floral prints a rest for a season or two. Instead, try bold blocks of color in complementary shades over spring’s loose, sexy pieces. Embellished BohoAnna Sui, Diane von Furstenberg and other optimistic designers showed laid-back neo-hippie styles on the runway. Get into the swing of things with a colorful, breezy dress, beaded necklace and lace-up flat sandals. Peace out. Relax-Fit PantsForget about wide-leg or skinny jeans. Spring’s must-have silhouette: relax-fit pants. Similar to the boyfriend jeans Katie Holmes has been spotted in lately, the new cut is loose and easy at the hips, then tapers delicately above the ankle. This wins the chilled-out title of Most Comfortable New Trend on the Catwalk! Zipper AccentsOnce relegated to Michael Jackson impersonators and lead singers in punk bands, zipper accents turned up on spring’s most feminine pieces. The flirty zipper trim on Phillip Lim’s silk tank balances downtown edge with uptown elegance.
