Could you be the Face of 2018?
ENTRIES FLOOD IN FOR OUR FILTER-FREE MODELLING COMPETITION
Entries have been flooding in since we launched our filter-free modelling competition to find someone with a natural look.
Here’s some of the entries so far - and there’s still time for you to take part.
We’ve teamed up with a group of North East experts for the competition - Savalas Models,ScottSpockPhotography, Neville Ramsay hairdressing and Amanda Bell elite make up artist, to give one man and one woman the chance to take the first step into a modelling career.
Anyone over the age of 16 can enter the competition, the only stipulation is that images submitted must be free of filters and make-up.
Celebrity hairdresser Neville, who’s styled the hair of everyone from Sting to Vogue editor Anna Wintour, said: “There’s so many beautiful faces out there, but it’s hard to see that these days withallthefiltersandmakeup people use. Gone are the days where models all have to look the same with symmetrical faces, now we want someone who looks quirky and individual.
“You can have loads of freckles, a gap in your teeth, masses of red hair, curves it’s all beautiful. There’s no boundaries. We don’t want someone who can take a picture, we want someone who can make a picture, someone who we can create an image with.”
Amanda, who has worked with the likes of Goldie Hawn and Sienna Miller, as well as transforming models at London Fashion Week, said: “This is a great opportunity to give someone a taster of the modelling world, but they have to be prepared to work hard.”
Terry Costello, owner of North East-based Savalas Models, whose models have done shoots for the likes of River Island, Fenwick and ASOS, said: “As well as being photogenic, we’re looking for someone who has a spark about them and is a people person. They have to be able to get on well with the client and the rest of the team around them, it’s very much a team effort.
“The modelling world can be a bit overwhelming, so it’s important to have people around them who can nurture them and look after them.”
The winners will receive a prize worth £1,500 which includes a photoshoot with Scott Spock Photography, which will appear in the Sunderland Echo, with styling for the shoot from Neville and Amanda; six months of hair styling complete with Milkshake hair products; a make up session with Amanda at her studio in Norton and a consultation, with the potential for a contract, at Savalas Models.
