How to start modeling with Kellie Mendoza and Rachel May

00:00

hey guys I'm here with Kelly Mendoza and

00:02

Rachel May and we're on a boat and we

00:06

just finished up a photo shoot and Kelly

00:09

and Rachel are other amazing models and

00:12

we were hoping that they could share

00:15

some of their model wisdom and this

00:18

gives some tips for people who are

00:20

trying to become trying to get into

00:22

modeling

00:25

so where what would be a good place for

00:28

someone to start modeling where should

00:29

they

00:32

like location once they start or should

00:34

they get like they should they ask their

00:36

friend I hire a professional

00:37

photographer how would they know it's

00:40

like what's the right okay so starting

00:42

modeling I would suggest investing

00:45

so I have a good friend that photography

00:52

depending on that look because you don't

00:54

hurt their feelings I guess some of this

00:56

is not the style for an agency but

00:59

looking at agencies pictures see what

01:03

style they like and then find a

01:05

photographer similar to the agency that

01:08

you like stop so stuff like that and

01:11

then location where someone jump into

01:14

being going to an agency or should they

01:16

like build a portfolio working with more

01:18

local photographers first I mean for now

01:21

Instagram I would build for Instagram to

01:25

build your liking and your following

01:26

because agencies look at that too so

01:29

that part but then for agencies that you

01:32

might be doing all this work in the

01:34

wrong direction so then you want to find

01:37

an agency first and then take their

01:39

advice of what they like and

01:41

you know what photographer to use so I

01:45

would kind of like both because we need

01:47

pictures to keep going for Instagram you

01:49

build your following build your likes

01:51

build everything and then for agency

01:53

it's a whole nother look like they only

01:55

like your Instagram look but they need

01:57

want to see that number and so how did

02:00

you reach out to them would you like

02:02

email the agency would you visit them so

02:04

for agencies never D on them

02:08

you have taken their send them an email

02:10

on their actual website and then you

02:13

take their standard look which is so

02:16

simple that you might stray away from it

02:19

so a plain wall like on the side of a

02:23

building or something or outside that's

02:24

me outside or really good there lighting

02:27

no direct sunlight and you just pose and

02:30

in a black-and-white bathing's of black

02:33

bathing suit or white bathing suit and

02:35

jeans and a tank that's it no crazy just

02:39

holes and stripes and all this other

02:41

stuff so very simple no makeup if you do

02:45

wear makeup like makeup a no makeup wait

02:48

up you don't know none of this yeah

02:52

nothing crazy going on oh there's a cup

02:55

in the background I see her toilet paper

02:57

roll no no no that is yeah yeah no

03:00

selfies absolutely like they're probably

03:03

yeah none of that so just very simple

03:08

straight fallacies yeah and kind of like

03:13

a jail poem so straight side profile

03:16

profile on 3/4 and then pull in and do

03:21

clothes and then soup so the same look

03:25

but just those two books and then you

03:27

just literally send out your measurement

03:29

and those pictures to the Asian thing

03:31

and then they'll call you back if they

03:33

want to see you so what they don't what

03:36

are supposing tips I notice that you

03:37

both have very different opposing styles

03:39

and so like can you tell us some of your

03:41

clothing tips and then maybe some of

03:42

your opposing tips okay they're closing

03:46

tips remember to suck in your stomach

03:50

which can leave something don't actually

03:54

point your toe it's more like a flex are

04:00

Treyarch yeah so like that so they're

04:02

not really like this it's more of like

04:04

this remember to kind of do a shake I am

04:09

doing a shake to like loosen up the

04:11

tension so like sometimes my shoulders

04:14

can be like this and you kind of just

04:18

slouch into it it's a really bored look

04:22

and then sometimes like I really loved

04:25

your dancing I try to do that too

04:28

because with the photographer that it's

04:31

more fact you can keep it with them so

04:35

posing dancing flew in like this and

04:37

just feel it and you know like there's

04:39

music playing but it's not that's really

04:41

good too and it helps to catch shadows

04:44

and we're talking about I don't know

04:46

something and you just have to remember

04:48

to go back to that so it's like it if

04:50

you're going to do this and then you

04:51

come go back so remember to go back to

04:54

like that but my posing I just remember

04:57

my main thing is my stomach oh and then

04:59

face so you kind of have to point

05:02

wherever the direction of your noses so

05:04

like if you nose is that way don't

05:06

really like do too much of that you kind

05:08

of have to slightly it's like where your

05:10

eyes are where you know it's kind of

05:12

like those and if you have really pretty

05:16

eyes

05:17

I know it's hard you have to look in the

05:20

Sun

05:21

- like the Sun and then you kind of

05:24

close your eyes and then just wait

05:26

Sandler tell you to go and then you go

05:27

and then ignore us but yeah do stuff

05:30

like that other poses of swimsuit closes

05:34

of course you're going to be more sexy

05:36

clothing I will be more sloppy with it

05:39

and more like showing it off or tugging

05:43

on it stuff like that dresses and we can

05:47

flow and pretty like music and just I'm

05:50

flowing in the wind it's really smart to

05:54

that you've adapt this the phones and

05:56

the style for modeling - the clothing

05:58

and we're doing yeah designer you know

06:02

they want you to relieve animate their

06:05

outfit so so just wearing it like bring

06:08

it up lightly I have a whole bunch of

06:12

friends that make me want something that

06:13

they modeled in just because watching

06:16

their movement

06:23

and speaking of that so what so you have

06:25

been a pretty different way of moving

06:27

something you tell some of the things

06:28

that inspired you I feel like I don't

06:34

have the best of two

06:39

they pose and Achille covered all of

06:42

that but I just I don't know I just like

06:46

to like move around and have some fun

06:48

and I'm always inspired by like

06:54

environment

06:57

objects near me so I love

07:02

random objects like I love putting

07:04

chairs

07:05

curling all over that whatever whatever

07:10

is in the group anything with anything

07:14

07:31

07:34

I always had expiration from my

07:36
