Success Stories from the Studio

Kube Studios News

No fashion photography studio in the UK is more connected than Kube Studios. If you are an aspiring model and want to know if you have what it takes then look no further. Kube Studios work with child models, teen models, male, female and body parts models to bring out the best in them and help them create a great modelling portfolio.

Modelling portfolios are used by models to send to modelling agencies. Kube Studios mentors are well connected to many different agencies and can not only ensure your photos are the right quality to be submitted, but guide you in how best to use them and who to approach. Kube Studios is not a modelling agency.

They are based in London, but also have studios in Birmingham and Manchester. Soon, they are unveiling their new Miami studio, taking them across the pond. Here is an example on Twitter of a model from the studio who got noticed by a modelling agency thanks to their team.

Little India's Modelling Story

little India, aged 5 from Halewood has won the title 'mini miss Liverpool' an international title 'mini miss British Empire' and national title ' mini miss face of the globe'.

India will now represent the uk at the international 'face of the globe' finals at Disney Paris in April 2016. We hope you'll agree she has done fantastically well to beat 1,000's of other entrants to represent the uk from little Halewood. She has recently been spotted by Kube Studios who are raving about her.

But that's not the whole story, India loves other children, she loves helping them, especially children who aren't as lucky as her - she is wise beyond her years in this respect. What really attracted her to compete for the 'face of the globe' was the fact that all the money raised goes to the 'rainbow children's charity' to help under privileged children all around the world especially to provide them with clean water, something she has been learning about in school this term. 

The Rainbow children's charity is a fantastic charity and has helped more than 25,000 children in the last few years. 

India has already raised more than £2, 000 for her charity school term through cake sales, bonus ball raffles, knocking on doors and sponsorship. This is already the most by any entrant into face of the globe at this stage, she won a special certificate for this - see picture.

She now wants to raise £10,000 for her charity by the time she goes to Paris in April which would be a record not only for her but for the international contest. For this we need the help and support of her city and we thought you may be able to help and support her.

She has already planned a 'ten cities in ten days' sponsored drive across Europe starting on Christmas Day and visiting London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Rome, Monte Carlo and Paris on the 3rd January. She is having the van fully sign written advertising the charity and are collecting along the way including her video diary uploaded to Facebook. She will have a picture taken in each city with a banner further asking for help and to raise awareness for the charity.

We know you'll agree that all children are special but India will help change the world over the next six months and she would like businesses from her home city to be involved, support and be proud of her. Would it be possible for you to organise a collection or offer some sponsorship or something similar to support one of the Liverpool's most exceptional children and help this brilliant charity.

Top Ways to Lose Weight

Kube Studios Diet: Lifestyle

Nowadays we are bombarded by 'good' advice telling us how to live, what to eat and when. One thing we should always remember about advice is that the person or company giving it will have something to gain by influencing your actions. The most obvious example of this would be a diet pills company. Kube Studios hear about all kinds of weird diets involving zero carbs or zero gluten and thought we should look at some of the truths behind them.

The most important thing to remember is that you are what you eat. Clearly you will not turn into a portion of chips, but on a chemical level this is very true. Your body needs dozens of different nutrients every day to perform its tasks of regenerating tissue and cleansing toxins - both biological and from food and drink. 'Superfoods' are named as such because they have high levels of these nutrients and low levels of bad fats.

Gluten; myth or reality?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. It is also present in many whole grains such as bulgur, kamut, spelt and farro. Unless you have Celiac Disease (which is essentially an allergy to gluten) it is definitely not recommended to cut gluten out of your diet. As we said up above, someone has something to gain - in this instance it is the gluten-free and free-from companies who promote their very expensive products by supporting these diets and encouraging new eating habits. 

If we look back at our grandparents' old photos, how many people were overweight? Was it because they had a carb or gluten free diet, or because they were generally more active and ate more organically? Many of us are addicted to sugars and can suffer headaches and itchy feet when cravings start. For most people this is around eight in the evening; the worst time of the day to snack or eat fast food. If you feel that this matches your normal eating habit, try cutting it out of your day for a month and keep an eye on the scales. A good rule can be to only eat during daylight hours. Kube Studios promotes healthy habits over unhealthy diet regimes.

Kube Studios

Kube Studios are the UKs top fashion modelling photography studios. With studios in London, Birmingham and Manchester, we can cater for a wide range of photography needs. Our talented teams will make your day in the studio one to remember. All team members have first hand experience in high end fashion and photography and know exactly what aspiring models need to make a fantastic portfolio that will represent their looks and characters in the best light when applying to major agencies. Here are some fantastic ways to improve your method of doing one of the basic elements of make up, eye liner.

Kube Studios

First of all, you have to choose whether you wish to use a powder or liquid eyeliner. If you choose a liquid eyeliner, start by drawing a line as close as you can to the eyelash line, starting at the inner corner and drawing across. A fine line will add discreet emphasis to your eyes, while a thick line will be more striking and make the eyes look bigger. If you draw the line thicker than you wanted, blend it into the eyelid a little using a brush or even just a finger tip. Easy as that! Note that if you are intending to use shadow too, apply this first or it will interfere with your line. Liquid eyeliner is probably the most difficult to apply, so don't worry if it takes a little practice to get the results you want. The make up artists at Kube Studios will attend to your every need so don't concern yourself with trying to do your own make up on the morning of your photo shoot! 

If you choose to use a pencil eyeliner they have a tendency to smear and smudge. Don't skimp out and choose by price, go for the best one you can. Go for a retractable pencil version rather than the pencil sharpener ones as they often split and are more likely to snap. Apply shadow after using pencil eyeliner and it will help stop it from smearing. They tend to wear off relatively quickly and shadow helps to make your make up last longer. If you want to find out more about Kube Studios, our other blogs have loads of information about our services and other useful make up and modelling tips. Alternatively, visit the Kube Studios website to find out more.

Inspirational Model Cara Delevigne

Kube Studios Reviews: Cara Delevigne

This is our tribute to this London born model, who at 21 is one of the world's most photographed women. She does't exactly come from humble beginnings, and any girl starting out modelling would love to be as connected as she is. Her parents are super rich and her godfather is a media mogul who owns 100 magazines and 80 websites globally. He also owns his own college of fashion and design, that's handy! Wonder why Cara is on the cover of Tatler or Vanity Fair for example? Her godfather owns them, his dad is Chairman of multi-billion dollar company Lloyd of London.

Indeed, many of Cara's family are magazine publishers, which is a great help if you want to be a model. According to Wikipedia, her maternal grandmother Janie Sheffield was lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret no less!

So what hope do you have of competing with Cara Delevigne, who I'm sure Prince William is kicking himself for not marrying instead of Kate? None really. However, the world of modelling is huge and there is great opportunity to model all over the world. The industry is always looking for the next fresh face, and it could be yours!

Is Plastic Surgery A Good Idea?

Kube Studios

Many models ask themselves at one point or another if they should undergo plastic surgery. However, what they should really be asking themselves is should they spend thousands of pounds undergoing a painful procedure which going to make them look like they have been stung by a bee while flying through a wind tunnel.

Plastic surgery has been a fascination for celebrities and models trying to compete with each other for the limelight. However, many young people aspire to look like them and spend thousands on plastic surgery to fulfill an image of beauty that is unnatural.

Models like Amy Childs looked perfectly good before have gone under the knife but did so anyway. Many are left with a trout pout or weird eyebrows that make them look like they are a Strek Trek extra.

Even singers like Tulisa have had plastic surgery, which was for no reason. Kube Studios doesn't discriminate against people who have had plastic surgery - this article is for entertainment purposes only :)

Tulisa - Before

Tulisa - After

It is up to the media to promote a more natural image of beauty and lower the amount they rely on airbrushing their photographs.Young people should chose realistic role models (real people) not just images created by graphic designers and plastic surgeons.

Become a Body Parts Model

Kube Studios guide to Body Parts Modelling

Sometimes commercial or fashion models, who look good in a full length picture modelling an outfit, do not necessarily have nice enough  feet to have a close up of their shoes and this is where the parts model come in. Sometimes they need someone whose part of the bpdy they need has to be perfect and nothing else really matters about them. They are employed because they usually specialize in modelling one part of the body.

This specialized type of model can be used in photoshoots to help promote certain company's products or in feature films or promo videos where they are looking specifically for that  special "someone" with beautiful hands or killer legs!

Some models only model parts, however, commercial, fashion, petite, mature, plus size and glamour models can also do parts modelling as long as they meet the required standards. At Kube Studios, hand models are used to model different types of products, e.g.; rings and necklaces for jewellers, nail polish, nail extensions and hand lotions.

Requirements for Hand Models include;

- Smooth skin
- Long slender graceful looking hands and fingers
- Great shape and the ability to pose  your hands so they look relaxed
- No  blemishes or uneven skin tone
- Men's hands shouldn't be too hairy
- Neat and even nails

Requirements for Foot Models include;
- smooth skin
- evenly shaped toes
- be free of things like corns and hang nails
- no blemishes or uneven skin tone
- neat and even nails
- attractive ankles

Some of the things foot models  advertise are  shoes, ankle bracelets, toe rings, creams, sprays, polishes, socks ect. Kube Studios can give you the advice to get you there, but are not a modelling agency.

Legs models are normally associated with tall models. The legs should look long, shapely, smooth, be well moisturized, waxed and free of blemishes and varicose veins. Leg models sell lots of products such as stockings, razors, bath products and lotions.

These are the main three types of body-parts modelling; however there is also a market for ears, hair, bottoms, necks, eyes and lips. Find out more about Kube Studios at Kube Studios reviews blog.

Who Needs A Modelling Portfolio?

Many photography studios are geared towards makeover shoots for boyfriends to buy their girlfriends for their anniversary, family portraits or pictures of their kids. However, those more career minded (apart from actors and models) would also benefit from the attention of a skilled photographer.

Comedians

Have you noticed how many comedians have the same name, like 'Russel'; Russel Howard, Russel Peters, Russel Kay, Russel Brand. And don't get me started on 'Brands'; Katy Brand, Jo Brand...Well, here is Jimmy Carr, no relation to Alan Carr. He has built up an image as a snooty yuppie and has made millions. If he can do it, so can you. How about the name 'Russel Carr'? 

Musicians

Katy Perry used to be a pious Church going country singer called Katy Hudson. Since then she has dyed her hair and reinvented herself as a pop sensation singing about all the debauchery she got up to 'Last Friday Night'. Still, her music is loved world-wide and she is clearly inspirational - Go Katy!

Business People 

 Theo Paphitis is a splendid example of a businessman who uses his image to his advantage. Appearing in Dragon's Den and publicly investing in loads of businesses he has changed from retail magnate to TV personality. His recognizable image has undoubted given him the status to get ever richer!

Alan Sugar is not shy to the limelight either. He has been making multi-million pound moves since the 80's and is now one of the most famous and admired businessmen in the UK. Using his hit show The Apprentice he has become a house hold name. He even has his own catch-phrase - 'You're Fired!'

Both of these business leaders has has a photo shoot or two to get their image spot on! Visit Kube Studios to find out how their photography services can help you. Follow Kube Studios on Twitter.
