3. Practice facial expressions

Stay relaxed and pay close attention when giving different facial expressions. when posing, your expressions should be spontaneous.

Make your poses come alive by practicing how to give the "look." learn this by closing your eyes, imagining a thought, opening your eyes, and selling the thought.

4. Show self-confidence with your posing skills

Build your self-confidence by studying and practicing. learn to say "oh well, there will be another chance" when you are turned down. one day the self-confidence you have obtained will be the major factor in making your dream come true.

Now, strut your stuff and show the fashion designers just what you have to offer them with your newfound female fashion model posing techniques.
