I am becoming more and more in love with BEAUTY work and headshots. I love great quality makeup achieved by professional Makeup Artists and even Hair Stylists, coupled with a fantastic Photographer that understands Beauty Lighting!

For Beauty Shots and headshots, concentration is more on the hair, makeup, and facial expression, but I adore when people work their hands into play, especially models who pose their hands properly!

If you are wondering how to pose your hands properly, without making them look awkward or manly, instead of flat hands, or completely spread fingers, resort to what I've always called "The Waterfall" in which you curl your fingers in slightly, at staggered lengths...pinky curled in the tightest, then ring finger slight less curled in, middle finger even less curled in and finally the pointer finger sticking out the most. Here are some examples where strong hair, makeup, expression and "The Waterfall" come into play!!

The Model Industry is Growing Up!!

Iman is an astounding 54 years old and modeling just the same! 

It used to be that once you hit a certain age in the Modeling Industry, you were rendered useless or old, but it seems that the Model Industry is FINALLY Growing Up! Some of the best and most famous Models are reaching or have already reached their 30 year mark, and are not only still amazingly beautiful and just as talented, but they are still modeling strong! Below is a little tribute to those over 30, fabulous Models!

30 year old Gisele Bundchen is modeling as strong as ever!

Saski Brauw is 32 years old, in her 2011 Chanel campaign for Karl Lagerfeld

Adriana Lima, 30, still modeling strong even AFTER giving birth to her child! 

So are "older models" the new "young models"? I certainly hope so, because as a model myself going on 26 years old, let's me know there is always a place for me, regardless of age, as long as you still are rockin just the same!
