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:

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.'

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. |

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.”
Feroze Gujral, who conducts workshops for organizations, is keeping her
options open.
Ad man Prahlad Kakkar
once described Feroze Gujral as a “real lady.” This
ravishing beauty was associated with an Internet portal
for a brief period, and the television channel MTV. She
says,
“Modelling today
has become far more glamour-based. There are more people,
but this is a good development, it has made the industry
more professional. ”Feroze has worked with the
accessories brand Fizzaro, she also conducts workshops for
organizations and is “still open” about future
options.
And what might she consider doing next? “It could be TV
or perhaps a workshop. I’ll think about it post
summer.”
Michael Vasanth, who modeled for Raymonds, Vimal and MRF, now
runs an event management company.
Banglore-based
Michael Vasanth walked the ramp with renowned French
models, when Pierre Cardin was launched in India. While
most of his contemporaries entered tinsel town, Michael
decided to return to Banglore in 1992.
“I used to see the
boys running around with their portfolios, visiting
various producers. I realized I wasn’t cut out for
films,” he explains. On his return, Michael began to
choreograph shows.
Today
he heads the event management company Studioline, which
has handled events for Microsoft, Epson and Hindustan
Lever, among others.
Just back from
Washington where he attended a biotechnology conference on
behalf of the Karnataka government, Michael concludes,
“The transition from modeling to choreography and
finally event management was a fairly natural one. Ina
way. I’m still a part of the industry.”
