  1. It’s OK to eat!

  1. Most people believe models are working on photo shoots every day.

In reality many models, apart from supermodels of course, find it very tricky getting regular bookings. Very often, models have periods where they don’t have any work at all

  1. Modelling means a lot of sitting around as well!

Models wait to get their make-up and hair done, they wait for the photographer till he is set up, wait to get their photos back, wait for runway shows to start or wait to be seen at castings. That’s why you very often see models with a book or a Phone in their hands.

  1. Photo shoots glamorous? Not always..

Photos which you see in magazines look very glamorous but the truth is mostly disappointing. During a photo shoot, it can be that a model has to dress very warm while it’s hot as hell, or the other way around, wearing a bathing suit while its freezing outside. Not sure what is worse?
