Behind the Scenes: the Real Photoshoot

In a series I'll be starting called "Behind the Scenes", I'll walk you through a day in the life of an international model. You'll learn about everything from runways to model apartments, castings and even traveling alone. Today's post, however, is all about photoshoots!

When you watch shows like "America's Next Top Model" or "Make Me a Supermodel" or flip through a magazine, you see beautiful photos of beautiful women in beautiful clothing. You may think that modeling looks glamorous and would be tons of fun. There's hours of pampering with hair and makeup and the wardrobes are immaculate (do I want to wear Chanel, if only for an hour? Yes!). But, what you may not realize is everything that goes on behind the scenes. For those of you who aren't aware, its a lot of work!

"How can it be called 'work'? You get your makeup and hair done for you, wear the top fashions, and pose. Sounds easy enough to me!"

Yes, and no. I'm gonna walk you through my hardest shoot thus far! Are you ready to be enlightened? Well, let's get started.
