No models aren't allowed to do stuff like that. You have to have proper pictures that are untouched for them to be accepted by a modeling agency and their clients. That means NO Glamour Shots and NO airbrushing or use of lighting that can make ALF look like the blonde you just described. Most photographs of models you see in magazines are airbrushed but we are not allowed to use those exclusively in our portfolios. Every model is expected to have the majority of the pictures in her portfolio as untouched or unmanipulated photographs. The clients like to see exactly what they're getting! All of my pictures are untouched and natural photographs done by different photographers who I hired. To get different looks we use different photographers, different makeup artists and hair stylists. Glamour Shots can make anybody look good. It's not how they do you up or that they airbrush the photographs but it has something to do with the lighting and camera lenses they use. Any model that tried to pass those off in her portfolio would be shown the door pretty quick. Glamour Shots pictures are not considered "done professionally"... they are a joke. Looking at pictures of a girl who had them done at Glamour Shots is like looking at her in the dark... anybody can look good in the dark... maybe even ALF! Lola:)
