GO SEE: When the model agency makes an appointment for you to see a photographer or a client. A go-see is different to a casting (where there are lots of models). Go-sees are like mini-auditions, so you should bring your portfolio, comp card or other photos and dress and behave appropriately. You do not get paid for going to go-sees.
GROUP SHOT: A photograph composed of a group of models (more than three).
GUTTER: The crease in a double-page photo spread.
HAIR STYLIST: Works on hair changes during a shoot.
HAUTE COUTURE: Pronounced "oat-ko-chure" this phrase is French for "high-fashion." Couture is extremely high-end, tailor-made designer clothes that only a few dozen people in the world can afford. High-fashion editorial models work in couture.
HEADSHEET: A sheet, poster or book of models that an agency sends to prospective clients.
HEADSHOT: An 8 x 10 size photo of head and shoulders. Black & white (B&W) headshots are an actor's calling card.
HIGH FASHION: Extreme, chic and sophisticated fashion modeled by top models.
HIGH FASHION MODELLING: Modelling for covers and editorial layouts for the top fashion magazines in the world and in print ads for designer clothing collections.
HOLD: When your agency puts you ‘on hold’ for a job, it means the client is seriously considering you and wants you to keep the time available for them. If another job comes up for that time whilst you are ‘on hold’ you must notify your agency before accepting it.
ILLUSTRATION MODEL: A model who poses for artists.
INFORMAL FASHION SHOWS: Take place in stores or malls, models walk around and there is no runway.
INFORMAL MODELLING: A type of modelling performed in an informal atmosphere, usually a store or mall, where models wander around showing the clothes directly to the customers.
JUNIOR MODEL: A child-teen model between the ages of 8 and 12 years of age.
LINE-UP: The order and position of different models and garments in a fashion show.
LOCATION: Any place, other than in a studio, where a shoot (photography or film) takes place. When you are on location, it means you are outside the controlled environment of the studio or sound stage and should prepare accordingly.
