camoufloging a model's round nose

[ahem]

Hello, first of all, i would like to admit that I am a model(male).....

So I am in the process of getting made a modelling portfolio by myself, I want to know are there any tricks that I can use to reduce the impact of my round nose? If I get some valuable feedback from here, I can give it to the photographer.......

What kind of modeling assignments have you done? What kind of photographer are you getting?

How photogenic you are is what determines how much work you get. What you look like in real life doesn't count for much, with the exception of runway work.

None of the photos you have linked to would be effective in a modeling portfolio, regardless your nose.

I have finished the studio shoot for my 1st portfolio very recently , (outdoors pending) The photographer that I have is a very professional & talented.

I know that the photos that i posted are way too amateurish & silly, they aren't portfolio pictures, they were taken by me some time back on my mobile.

More flattering light would do you a lot of good...

Thankyou, for a second I thought you were being a troll like a few were but I looked it up & it seems helpful

Forget about hiding your nose. You CAN'T.

One of the most used photo by models is the head shot and the head shot is supposed to show you as you are. If you send one in that, through good use of make up, were to hide your nose, you'd most probably be turned down during the face to face meeting.

Deal with it. There are all kinds of models out there and few of them are 100% perfect. Not to mention that perfection is very subjective.

Last but not least, I don't get the problem with your nose. I have other problems with you but, to be honest, that's a judgement from really bad photos so it means very little. Plus I seem to have very unconventional ideas about models, lol.

A couple things to remember: on a shoot, the MU artist works for the photographer/client, not for the model. Also, when I hire models, I usually send photos to the client who makes the final decision.

I don't see a problem with your nose either... and as a result... this thread makes me giggle

Until I see these shots that you're referring to, which I'm assuming you can't show us since you don't own the copyright to them... I can only make the assumption that you're overanalyzing yourself. Just go do the shoot and stop worrying about your non-existant nose problem :greenpbl: :sillysmi:

well said! :thumbup:

But you can refer us to them by posting a link, since that doesn't infringe on some else's copyright.

Don't sweat it.

If you are on a "real" photo shoot (as opposed to a play shoot) there will be a make-up artist there who should be able to accentuate or diminish any feature you have on demand.
