Kube Studios Shaving Tips

Kube Studios: The Perfect Shave

Kube Studios are London's premier photography studio. Kube specialise in portfolio shoots and modelling shoots but cater for a wide variety of photography needs. In this post Kube Studios look  at the best way to give yourself a wet shave. Men normally prefer wet shaves in the summer as its easier to get a good result when the air temperature is higher. When the skin is cold it goes tight and dries easier which can cause skin to flake after a wet shave. Before you start, wash your face with warm water and dab excess water off with a hot towel before applying a generous layer of shaving foam/gel.

If you do this you're much less likely to nick your skin. Pull the skin tight and go with the grain of the hair. It's a popular misconception that you should shave against the grain. This can give you in growing hair which is quite painful. Try to use as few strokes as possible to avoid over irritating the skin, rinsing the razor in warm water between each stroke. Once you're done, moisturise with a soothing lotion, preferably containing aloe, and avoid traditional alcohol based aftershaves as they can be stingy and dry out the skin.

Kube Studios: The Alkaline Diet Program

Kube Studios: The Alkaline Diet Program

Being in the modelling industry, we hear about all the trends and diets every day in Kube Studios. One that sounded interesting was the Alkaline Diet Program and how it might work for models. 

The diet involves eating mostly alkaline foods and aims to keep the body's pH level between 7.35 and 7.45. They suggest eating 80 percent alkaline foods and 20 percent acidic. It may sound easier than it is though!

Which foods are acidic? The majority of foods break down in our bodies into either acidic or alkaline bases. The most alkaline foods are fresh fruit, vegetables, roots, nuts, dates, figs, lemons.. and so forth. Pasta, wheat, dairy, alcohol and meat are unfortunately not and should be avoided according to the program. If you should go for the full diet, replace meat protein with other sources or you might find yourself weak and malnourished. 

The benefits of having an alkaline system are numerous and have been studied by many a Phd student. When done properly, and balanced, the diet can improve energy levels, memory, prevent headaches, bloating, heart disease, muscle pain and insomnia. Sounds good right!

Kube Studios: The Real You

Kube Studios Photoshoot Tips

Kube Studios have premises across the UK and also have over 30 staff members dedicated to getting our models portfolios into the hands of the people who pull the strings in the modelling business. Here are some tips on how to dress for your modelling portfolio shoot to let the camera see the real you.

Kube Studios

When choosing what to wear for your modelling photo session try to be as realistic as you can. Create a dynamic between your outfit, your body and your face to give a genuine picture of your personal style and personality. Take a selection of outfits and see which works best in the photographer's opinion. The props in the studio may give you some ideas. Glamour and taste do not equate perfectly so strike a balance with accessories and colour choices.

You may find yourself standing around for some time which means you don't want to be wearing heels for hours on end. Take a pair of comfortable pumps or trainers if you decide to wear heels for your shoot. Now, put your shoulders back and head straight and make your modelling shoot a day to remember!
