Polaroids/Digitals

[Mariann]

Some of the images used by Elite agencies appear professional like done in a studio some how or at least a professional photographer has taken them, they don't look like snap shots at all to me.

Interesting the angle these photos are taken from, makes the models look much taller.

I'd really like to know the purpose in polaroids, they seem to make them occasionally even when a model is already established and has work. Wouldn't clients rather see portfolio and professional work rather than digitals and polaroids. What are your opinions on why they are used please?

To show the client what the model looks like au natural (skin body eyes face structure). The average portfolio content oozens with photoshop. Only the real gems look in editorials or other edited pictures equally cool/beautiful as in natural. A nice Set of Polaroids or digitals can be more expressive than entire portfolios, i love them. (check the ones of dna ny, then you know what i mean)

Adriana Lima at Marilyn. Not sure how long ago these were taken but maybe first time I saw them.

^ These were taken 2007/08 if I remember correctly. But such gorgeous polaroids.

Digital Diamonds blog site looks really good, interesting how they find natural photos fascinating. So I guess that when looking at most photos, they are either digital or they are polaroids and the girls seem to be wearing plain clothes, I think there is mainly Ashley Smith and some others that were wearing patterned clothes. I like them... I guess it shows a model in natural form and people like to see beauty in natural form. I also like photos that aren't retouched.

But does anyone have any ideas why agencies take most digital and polaroids with model's giving facial expression like Adriana Lima on this page and what about the poses like the ones you see on show cards? Then when girls come to apply to agencies they say no poses and no bikini shots. Yet in show cards they have bikini shots?

Tessa at Ford NY looks interesting, does anyone think she has a soft/ pretty look?
