Class Experience

No experience required! 

I will be teaching the basics of how to create poses and not feel awkward at photo shoots. I will also share tips on how to have a supermodel model runway walk. I will teach interactively by showing my students the task(s), challenging them to strut their confidence to build their modeling stature. We will have discussions on industry expectations, how to build a reputation for yourself, different types of modeling and what tips to use to overcome the industry if you are not the standard height or size. Even if you are not interested in modeling full-time, you can learn what it takes to be confident and comfortable in front of the camera. At least you will be able to make your Instagram photos look amazing. I can also guide you to taking this as a career full-time if you are interested in that. Overall, I want you to be open to be yourself, step out of your comfort zone to gain skills to be a model. There is so much to learn so please come with your questions and topics of interest.
