Make Modelling a Career

Hi. There is a constant demand for models in India and abroad. We are constantly looking for new models in India and overseas. We do not believe in age limits. Models come in all shapes, colors, sex and age. One type of model we are looking for is a stock model. These models will shoot pictures for storage until someone ask for that shot. It is shot on speculation hoping someone will need it in the future. These models are paid when the picture is sold. It could be for promotion of products, fashion, packaging, calendars, etc.


It is our desire to provide an opportunity for models and non-model men and women. Our goal is to give non-models the thrill of a professional photo shoot and make them professional models and take it up as a career. A model shoot has many different clothes changes, different backgrounds; sometimes they are on location, sometimes in the studio. But much more planning goes into the model shoot. The photographer and the model plan the shoot down to the smallest details. This is the service we give to our clients.

We also provide the non-model client with a chance to get their picture published. If that is agreeable to the client then a contract is signed between the non-model (who becomes a model) and leenacom.com. At ‘New Faces’ it does not matter what you look like or what you weigh, you will be treated like a model.

For Professional Models we provide portfolio services. We will shoot the model’s own designed shoot by request. We also have opportunities for models to showcase their portfolio on ‘New Faces’.

If you have any queries, please contact us for information: Email: akn929@yahoo.com SMS: 91-9969154602

Forbes.com names supermodel Gisele Bundchen as highest-earning model for 2007-- This is the second consecutive year the Brazilian beauty has topped the list, compiled by Forbes.com . The 27 year old supermodel earned $35 million last year despite terminating her lucrative contract with Victoria's Secret lingerie company last May. The figure was 2 million more than she earned in 2006 and over twice as much as Heidi Klum, the second highest earner, made in 2007. Business-savvy Gisele reportedly insists on having her contracts paid in Euros, rather in dollars which has contributed to her massive earnings. Kate Moss has dropped one place on the rich list to third position.

The Fascinating Sari

The fascinating sari is the only garment that can be draped in 17 different styles. Saris are an integral part of most Indian  woman's wardrobe.

A very simple sari can be made to look elegant if draped properly, and the most stunning and expensive sari can look shabby if not draped correctly.

'Most people don't know the potential of six yards of fabric. If draped correctly, the sari is the only garment that can make a thin person look voluptuous and a fat person look thinner.'

In most advertisements, including newspaper advertisements, the time displayed on a watch is 10:10, because that way the hands frame the name of the watch brand.

In1926, Ginger Rogers, the dancing diva, was the first Hollywood great to appear in a commercial.

The first bar of Lux soap was made in India and sold for a sum of two annas in 1934. Actress Leela Chitnis was the first Indian actress to endorse this product.

Modeling scene in India

Let's face the truth.................Tanya Thompson

Indian models are getting the short end of the stick, losing out to foreigners and celebrities. Aspiring models come to big cities like Mumbai, land a couple of plum assignments. And later find out that nothing more comes their way. Why? Simply because foreign faces are taking over. More and more advertisements and commercials are featuring foreigners.

There are several reasons why Indian models are losing out to foreigners. According to a model coordinator, --- people get value for money from an international face, as they charge less. While earlier one would see one face in several ads. today foreign models offer exclusivity and status. Besides, they are much more professional than Indian models, carry themselves far better as well, don't throw tantrums, and are more approachable than their Indian counterparts.

According to an insider, that most coordinators earn an extra commission when finding work for foreign models, which is why they push them. But the truth is, it is not only of additional commission, but they too prefer their professional approach to work, which is lacking in most Indian models. And on top of it, they have to deal with their 'nakras' and special demands. Apart from this many ads. and commercials are shot in foreign countries, it makes business sense to select foreign models. The foreign location and model makes the ad and product special with an international flavour.

Adman Prasoon Joshi says, 'People are still awestruck by white skin. It's the colonial hangover. Also companies feel that products with such international images are high in consumer minds'. This may be partly true, but with the global people and business coming closer, this is bound to happen. We will find foreign models in Indian ads and Indian models in foreign ads. It is happening now.

As far as celebrity trend goes ---- it breaks the clutter. In a market driven by numbers, the pressure on companies to deliver results are high. Their advertising has to be the best. There is also another reason. Earlier, advertising was a long term brand-building exercise. Everyone wants instant results today. Therefore using known face that have already connected with the consumer makes sense. And hence you have Amitabh Bachhan all over on TV commercials, hoardings and ads. Sachin Tendulkar, Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan, Yana Gupta and a list of other celebrities from India and abroad not far behind.

The end result is that aspiring models coming from small towns and big cities fail to get lucrative assignments. Some nevertheless carry on, some give up. Some make it a career, some reach the top.

 A pretty model with exotic looks and a fabulous body!

Models…….. then and now

After flirting with the limelight, fashion icons of yesterday have moved on to their second innings away from the eye of the camera. Milind Soman is now a producer, Bipasha Basu is the hottest actress on the block. But where are all the other top models we knew and loved?

Deepak (Dino) Malhotra: This stunner was a favourite with the girls. He currently runs his own business and plans to open a restaurant.

I have no regrets about leaving the ramp, though I enjoyed it while it lasted. You need to have a young body and that’s something you can’t have at 40. I was always interested in engineering, and proceeded to the US to study industrial engineering. I have been studying and working for the past 13 years. I only returned to Mumbai last year and set up a business. I also plan to open a restaurant in September. The current crop of models include MBAs and engineers with decent jobs. Modeling is not their only profession.

Lubna Adams is now a choreographer. She believes you should know when to quit.                      Do I miss modeling?

It was so long ago I don’t even think about it any more. Yes, I was a top model, but the thrill of having your own business and doing something creative is very satisfying. Luckily, I am not in a thankless profession. There is enough “fame” associated with my job. The transition to being a choreographer was not difficult. An opportunity came my way and I took it. I would like to tell other models to continue as long as they are good at what they are doing and enjoy the work. Once you get bored and don’t deliver quality, it is unfair for everybody. That’s when you should call it quits.

Anna Bredmeyer: Her classic good looks gave her career a longevity most models can only dream about.

I took up a job that was an extension of being a model. I’m now the ambassadress of Beautiful Boulevard, the lifestyle store which sells international brands. While I was still modeling in 1997, I got an offer from Trikaya.

The ad agency was looking for someone who could be the face of the organization. It was an easy switch as the job profile was similar. Nothing lasts forever. As a model, you have a limited shelf life. I consider myself blessed, given that I began modeling in 1973 and still do a couple of shows here and there. Everything has a time and once you’ve given your best, you have to move on. That’s just what I did.

Mehar Bhasin always considered modeling a hobby. This former Revlon girl now runs a finishing school in Delhi. Global cosmetics giant Revlon selected her as India’s first brand ambassador, and she shared the honour with supermodels Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer. But Mehar clarifies, “For me modelling was always a hobby.” Today, she spends time compering shows for corporates like Airtel and Fiat Palio. She has also set up own finishing school – the Mehar Bhasin Academy - which trains models, offers personality development capsules and conducts corporate workshops.

“As for her future plans, Mehar ends with the intriguing, “Something is in the pipeline, you will see it soon.”
