Make A Mark With Your ‘Beauty & Brains’
Modeling is a beautiful reality of today’s life style. It is the over all responsibility of models to spread and extend and add all types of products. Scope of satellite channels, popularity of movies and infinite wealth has opened doors for infinite opportunities. When magic of models speak and spark with thunder of light, the product automatically becomes hit and this is what a company wish. There are many successful models, who tried their luck in movies also and gained name and fame, which was not possible in any other profession.
Even today modeling is looked upon with great respect by both the filmi and non-filmi world.

It is not that magic of modeling is reflected only thorough new and beautiful faces, people who are successful in their own respective fields and are attracted by its glamour have done modeling for the publicity of products. Amitabh Bachhan, Hritik Roshan, Shahrukh Khan, Shatrugan Sinha, Hemamalini, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Govinda etc.. are a few examples.
Most of the big actresses of Britain cannot stand in front of intricating gestures of Britain’s supermodel Black Beauty. Turnovers of even big and hi-fi industries are no where near the yearly earnings of model ‘Cindy Crawford’. This is a profession in which once a hit is always fit.
Modeling is a career in which your age, education and complexion etc., are not very important. Today we can see from a 2 years child to a 70 years old man doing modeling. But still an attractive body, balanced figure, correct pronunciation, and an attractive face helps to clear the foundation examination.
There are three fields in modeling. “Still Photo Modeling”, Video Modeling” and “Ramp Modeling”. The first field of ‘Still Photo Modeling’ is a suitable medium for feature pages of different newspapers, magazines cover and other print media. Those who are photogenic and have the capacity to bring suitable and desired expressions on their face can be successful in Still Photo Modeling .Yes, the beauty is an important criteria for doing training in this field. The major drawback of this field is that there are limited possibilities of future for the trainee.
Second field of is ‘Video Modeling’ under which people get a chance to work as models for T.V. advertisements. In today’s time, all small and big companies want to reach to more people with a little effort through satellite channels and T.V. for their products. Today you can see that from a 2 months baby to a 70 years old grandma, everyone inspires you to use various things in these advertisements. There can be a lot of wealth and fame in Video Modeling. From here, even the possibilities in working for movies and T.V. serials, will also increase.
Third field is of “Ramp Modeling”, there are great possibilities of making wealth in this. Like Ad. films, there is a plenty of glamour in it. Contacts of models also increase in this field, and they could earn much better and have a lot of commercial knowledge. It is very difficult to present oneself in front of thousands of viewers, in costly and modern outfits. Young people who are looking for a golden career in this field should first of all concentrate on the facts and figures according to modeling specialities. If they feel they look like famous model, can try their luck in this field. In reality, you don’t have to speak about your talent but let your face decide your future. Your beautiful face and attractive body are the best approaches for selling any product, which makes the consumers go crazy and the person who gets into that attractive trap is provoked to buy the product, which the model has presented.
According to the modeling Masters, young man interested in making career in modeling should be of 5’5’’ or 6’ feet and girls should not be less than 5’6’’ height. Those people who want to make a career in ‘Ramp Modeling’ should have a good height, photogenic face and a slim body.

It is not only an impressive personality, which is required to be a model, positive thoughts and tremendous self confidence are other major factors for any successful model. Models should have the qualities of patience and co-operativeness. An ideal diet is necessary for a model because nutritious food is essential for a beautiful and attractive figure.

Those girls who are looking for modeling as their future, should have adequate knowledge and understanding regarding their health, figure and beauty care of hair.
