Child model photoshoot & ZARA kids campaign

Image
About a year ago I did a child modeling photoshoot with this beautiful child. It was her first modeling headshot photoshoot. She can now be seen on the Zara kids website modeling some of their latest fashion. It's so fun to do a child's first modeling photoshoot and then see them having success as a child model.  After getting her first child modeling headshots by Robin Lorraine Photography I sent her to a top child modeling talent agency and of course they loved her. She signed with this modeling talent agency and since has flown to NY to shoot the Zara Kids modeling job. The first thing a child modeling talent agent needs from you are child modeling headshots.  Child modeling photoshoot and getting her first child modeling headshots.

If you look at a Ralph Lauren ad with kids or a GAP kids ad, you will usualy see a beautiful ch...

Child modeling photoshoots are slightly different then an child actor headshot photoshoot. For one, with actors you are mostly concentrating on the face and expressions and or types an actor might play. But with models, casting wants to see your body type. Tall and leggy, petite, athletic? A casting agent may be looking for a specific type to fit the role they are casting. For example if the ad is for Nike, then a child model should be and look a bit more athletic. If the role is for Abercrombie teens, they may want to see longer hair, a big afro, dreads, or just a very hip look. There are modeling jobs for all sorts of products and each one has their own requirements. So with this in mind, a child modeling photoshoot will include some body shots and or 3/4 shots. A child modeling photoshoot will also include some close ups. The close ups can be headshots but also shots that shows the child models energy and personality. Unique features such as freckles, tooth gap, beautiful eyes...
