SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR YOU PLAYERS !

DEAR PLAYERS,

Today I will share with you “PLAYERS” some of my secrets, that have made ME successful in the modeling field and continue to do. What keeps client and photographers coming back for more.
Its my unique way of working in front of the camera. Which is very rare to see today among male models. You can take this experience from watching my photos, for your own next photo shoot. I’m sure you will surprise the photographer and the people you working with.
People have always told me I have beautiful pictures in my portfolio and website www.ribbsaeter.com. I still have a lot of work to upload for the website though.
There is a saying that goes like this. “YOU GIVE AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE”. That is so true. Same goes for modeling work and photo shoots. Don’t limit yourself..
Its important to take control of the shoot already from the beginning when you enter the studio. From presenting yourself, posing/ working the camera until you leave the job. Its in your hands to make the shoot perfect. Everybody have their parts to fill makeup, stylists, lighting crew. The photographer is ready to shoot. The worst thing, we all now by know. I’m Sure ?
Is to not be prepared for things. Thats why its important to always have these extra cards handy and use them when needed. Posing and giving expressions isn’t the easiest to do, when you have a hole group of people watching you. It really take BIG BALLS to do an act like Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, Johnny Depp in front of a missive group of people. "These are the people I admire the most,except my father"... This is the test, where you will know if you are comfortable with yourself or not. Insecure people, won’t do the job good. Crazy people like me, Johnny depp, Brad pitt etc., will get the job done, to any price... And that is success already.
The first things for me before a shoot is to joke around and easy up the mood a bit with the people around. They have all expectations that you will finish the work FAST !
And its important do it fast, but in order and under control at all times. Be creative and fun when working the camera, DONT BE AFRAID OF IT !its a must for a good happy shoot and ending. Of course you also need to see what clothes you wearing and who is the client and what market / target group it will be for. Keep your body in proportion at all time,and try to keep the face in control when posing. A good model also know where the light gives the best shade when posing. Practice that too..That’s why when you shoot, ask the photographer for a look through the peephole of the camera to see your pictures and then make changes after that.
I suggest you to study some of my easy poses and expressions here. Practice it next time you see yourself in the mirror, joke around with it and don’t be to tense with yourself. Get to know the real you, look deep within yourself, And to do that, you need to see yourself in the mirror glass.. I’m sure you will have a lot of fun. I SURE DO ;) heee..
There will be much more modeling tips and information once my first Book is being published. Something to keep your eyes open for..
Good luck and take control..
































































Now go and practice this everyday and more.. WISDOM WORDS ALONG THE WAY !
KNOWING YOURSELF MAKES YOU CONFIDENT, KNOWING YOURSELF, MAKES IT EASY TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE, KNOWING YOURSELF, WILL CATCH OTHER PEOPLES ATTENTION GOOD AND BAD. KNOWING YOURSELF, WILL NEVER STOP YOU FROM MAKING SUCCESS. KNOWING YOURSELF WILL MAKE LIFE SO MUCH MORE FUN & EASIER , KNOWING AND LOVING YOURSELF, THERE ISNT MUCH THAT CAN BEAT THAT.. ESPECIALLY NOT OTHER INSECURE PEOPLE , TO BE LOVED AND GIVE LOVE, YOU NEED TO LOVE YOURSELF FIRST :)

Cheers,

UNIVERSAL PLAYER
