testshoot





Alan Ovaska


When you're modeling, sometimes you have to invest in your own career by paying for a shoot. These are called testshoots. Mostly it's with a photography team your agency knows, so they know the results are going to be worth paying for.

It can be done for various reasons, when you have a new haircut, lost or gain weight and the pictures in your portfolio are outdated. For me, I didn't have any recent portfolio-worth jobs the last months, it was mainly catalogue work so I decided to renew my portfolio. That way you have more chance to get paid work, so the paid testshoot pays itself back after a while.

Here are some of those shoots, all shot by German photographer Alan Ovaska.

What do you think, will it land me on any new jobs?

  7. Please tell me these pictures were photoshopped. I am much smaller but my fat is not that well distributed as yours... I got boney shoulders, a nice face and down there big thighs and calves plus a muffin top. It looks so strange.. No matter what size I have, the distribution of fat on my body is not so nice...

    How come, you do not have cellulite? Which women your size does look like that?
    I think the new trend to curvy models is not a relief for all women in the world who are sick of the size zero trend. I think its a new form of pressure on women with bigger sizes... You can have a big size but your skin has to be perfect.
    NO CURVY WOMEN LOOKS THAT PERFECT! NO WAY!

    I am sick of this. I want to see pictures of real people: love handles, hanging skin, cellulite, improportions, no make-up,...

  9. Pretty much no retouching in these pics. that's the whole idea of testshots: they need to be just as you are. The main goal is for (new) clients to see what you look like at your best: good posing, good lightning, good make up, good styling & good photography.

    I don't walk around with my arms in the air, that's a flattering pose which works in pictures. I guess that's the way it will stay in order to sell the clothing :)
