Thando ( Orpan) My name is Thando Khumalo and I'm an orfen, Lizette corespond after I contacted them that modelling is my life time dream but I knew it is not possible because of my situation and funds. S A Beauty invited me to join their agency at no cost. My experience here at S A Beauty has been awesome. I was nervous at first but the friendly people here helped me to relax and enjoy the photo shoot. Robin is excellent at what he does and should not think of quiting ever coz I believe I'm speaking for everyone who has been here by saying "We love working with you". Thank you guys and carry on doing the excellent work you do.

We will defiantly get some of those photo;s to you when they are available. Regards Leigh Wells

Bronwyn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Dream
I haven’t heard of any girl who wouldn’t love to have beautiful pictures of her. I remember when I was little and I went with my parents on December holidays to the coast. I love to pose for my dad with his little camera, but I also remember that even it was just snapshots I want to put effort in with a fancy costume or sunglasses or hat or just something different.Modelling never really crosses my mind because I was really on the short side, in grade 11 I was only 1,49 and luckily grown a bit more to 1.58, but that’s where it stops. According to my knowledge if you not supermodel material and at least 1,78, don’t consider it girl, was my meaning. I always thought it would be such a dream come true to have professional photos and especially black and white was my favourite. I met a really handsome guy in the gym that gave me a card to call him for a photo shoot. I felt so special but still surprised. That guy ends up to be one of the best Fashion Photographers today over the globe that shot many celebrities and super models and what a privilege it was for me to be considered by him and today our pictures reached the highest. It’s easier said on paper than done for all the young and upcoming models. Modelling always seems so glamorous and easy but it is extremely hard work, late and many hours of preparation for a photo shoot. For me it was impossible with my height but Robin v Rensburg saw the potential in me and gave me the opportunity and what a great gift of God, but it was still up to me if this is going to work or not. At the age of 25 I started with my modelling career and my first photo shoot that was done at the Riveira International hotel. It was a great experience but also a wakeup call for me to see that I actually a minor in this industry and need a lot of training and dedicated hard work.Robin was really patient with me and even at the first shoot, I learned a lot from him.All my pictures were shot by Robin and he also trained me to a professional photographic model. Remember your Photographer can only do that much and he can’t continuously do the work of a model. It is the responsibility of the model to be in perfect condition all the time, it is a Life style, and we need to life up to it. I started to constantly make sure my Nails, Hair, skin and Body are in perfect condition. You never know when you need to do a shoot on short notice.I’ve seen Robin training other models and evaluated them on 49 different poses and I thought let’s give it a go, and I took each and every bit of precious knowledge that I could get from him to improve my modelling. I’ve spended hours and hours practising different poses and face expressions till perfection. It also came with a lot of tears but today I’m really great full and I saw the fruits of Robin’s hard and strict teaching. I’ve done lots and lots of photo shoots in the studio and on location; it was always lots of fun but also lots of them in really harsh situations. We’ve done Artistic shoots in an open field with cold clay on us in the middle of the winter, wind blowing my eyelash ashes of all the time when Robin is just to take the perfect shot. Lots of models are really very lucky to have a crew for Hair, Make-up and styling. We preferred to do it ourselves and it happened a lot of times that Robin had to move heavy and dirty stuff from a location to take the pictures.The ever famous “Island Girl” picture was shot on Margate beach with thousands of people on the beach with a concert. It was so noisy and I couldn’t hear anything Robin said because I was in the sea and he on land. That’s when you need to concentrate and just let all the hours of training and knowledge run through your brain. Luckily me and Robin worked together many, many times and the connection between us in a photo shoot is amazing and we just know what each other want to get the perfect photo. Don’t get me wrong girls, if you want the perfect picture you need that connection. On another shoot, we had to block a 2way traffic road off to put 240Kg of ice with burning flames around it, by the way my designers shoes got on fire.I also had the privilege to shot the most stunning artistic shoot with our youngest own Professional Model Chante v Rensburg, if you read her experience as a young model you will agree with the above. It was -5 degrees on a really cold 6:30 am winters morning, we had thin white dresses on with no shoes, standing on a little boat on the water while our feet and Robins camera were actually freezing. IF you see the beautiful breathtaking photo, it was all worth it.You can ask Model Chante and I agree, Modelling is lots of fun but extremely hard work that doesn’t come easy and photo shoots is not always at the best places or most comfortable situations. What is the saying “Practice makes perfect” I want to encourage each and every upcoming model, Go for it, but give 100%, life your dream. It just needs that one perfect Picture.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to S.A Beauty
I started modeling with S.A Beauty when I was 4 years old, hey I will be honest we had good days and bad but we worked it out and have done fashion shows all over national and international, but I always start with training not just because it make sense but I want to know what I am doing. At the age of 12 I was able to do 50 different poses and 7 different face exertions’ have done a few magazine shoots and fell in love with it. Well at 14 a did a evaluation at S.A Beauty and urn the status of a professional model, I am able to do 80 different poses and 7 face excretions for different assignments Beauty, Glammer, Catalogue, commercial and artistic. And yes 30 different stunning swimwear poses. There are a few things that are very important, 3 things should match face expression, pose and outfit. Training is a must, confidence in what you are doing and in yourself ,practice to perfection and you need lots of exposure be seen be heard get your name out there, do it with passion, do every assignment a job well done, always give your best. Always look exceptional good look after your, nail, hair teeth, arm pit shaved, body condition always in perfect shape. If you are late for a shoot you are unreliable, if your hips measurement exceed 93 cm you disqualify yourself of all assignments the outfit will not fit you, if you do not pitch up for assignments you fired yourself and would not be rehired, if you rely on the photographer to help you with poses don’t expected to get compensation because he is doing your job for you and you waste time give it to someone that could produce the job ,if your hair, teeth ,nails armpits, body shape and skin tone is not in perfect condition do not conceder a shoot ,if you just neglected to look after it, sis step out girl you do not deserve to be a model. Hey I have seen models change outfit on a fashion show and end up with the only outfit not belonging to that designer’s lineup, and the designers making a seen on the show and legal complication as well, but the bad part is the designer refuse to work with the agency again because of two models stupidity. gowns were a so called model (no training) refuse to come out of her room because she don’t like her hair up the way the hairstylist did it, “duh girl” it’s not about you it all about the outfit, everybody on sett is professionals and you not, what did you expect they would take your advice, well long story short she waist 4 hours redo make up and the hair she pulled out, and everybody hired for an extra 4 hours plus venue hire, that was the last of her career. but also lost out on a lot, do not blame agency's or anybody, you are only as good as you speak of some one else. S.A Beauty gave me exposure I have paid for some or for most in my learning stage but some I have done for free and lots I got paid for, some well and most just enough, I have seen lots of models blame agency’s but they could not ever do 10 poses on their own or different face expressions even if the photographer show here it, have bad conditioning on nails, hair color grown out and body's in bad shape exceeding 93 cm on the hips, but expect to get lots of assignments, I have done lots and lots of screen tests and made a few but never complained I know there is a lot to conceder not just beauty but the right model with the right look for each assignment, a swimwear model for a swimwear assignment or a glammer model for a glammer assignment and different fashion houses have thee own look, I have done international assignments ,we start as ugly as 4 am I never complain, never late and would not dear not pitch up . I have seen models come late or do not pitch up for shoot and the director fired them and they still have the audacity to bad mouth the agency, If your are late your make the shoot expensive ,venue hire is expensive make artist hair stylist and photographers get paid per hour and are very expensive, and can you believe it models still ask photographers to show them the poses and then expected to get compensation. to perform and be worth it, just your looks is not good enough, agency’s are full of beautiful models how sit back and expect everybody to do the work they cannot do and expect agency’s to get them in Hollywood ASAP, should you fail to perform and they have to redo a shoot you will end up paying R20 000 or more to reshoot it on location. attendance as long as they get trained by the agency, (Personal training step by step) but only 9 % will practice what they have learned ,so if they have to perform what they have learned it ends there, because they are too lazy or whatever excuse? The agency’s proved it by offering all the models in training a free photo shoots in the training category say for example (a free catalogue shoot), only the same 9% will take on the free offer, you know why because this 9% will know how to perform in front of the camera and make the shoot a success. Well a shoot like that, will set you back R1500 which they got free of charge. get the necessary expositor and I personally will guaranty that. experience or training or at least show me the evidence, let’s put those so could models strait, that bad mouth other models and agency’s how are they and show me what you have accomplished. model work hard Master the arts of your craft first and they go out and be creative that was Robin's words to me when I started. You are not a model yet if you have a portfolio a z card and have a few magazine shoots were the photographer helps you with all the poses. S.A Beauty have always been there for me, but I always produced what is expected of me, gave it my best and look apart, I been in lots of magazines but never had privilege of a cover page, but I work hard on it that IS MY DREAM so WICH me all the best. to short give it a go, all or nothing on magazine shoot on Saturdays’ free of charge and assist them make them feel at ease help them ,new in the industry with stunning poses, and spent the day with them share experiences and knowledge with them. I really want to see the industry grow in the right direction in South Africa and that is S.A Beauty’s Vision as well, we helped hundreds every year in rural arias with portfolio’s , Z cards and magazine shoots, under privilege children and Opens and that free of charge not cost. But these girls need Knowledge and experience.
and just need the right timing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S.A Beauty Hey when I contacted you're guys and explained that I was very intrested in modeling and the Industry, but for reasons I had no funds. I was really suprised when Tanya at S.A Beauty Phoned me personally and explained that it would be an honor for them to do my portfolio free, yes free of charge, well at first I was scared because I had never done this but the photographer Guy ( Robin v Rensburg) is great and he is an extremely cool dude and I feld great and I know I was defenitaly sure that I am ment for modeling, it was a great experience all in all Well as I walked out with my pictures and first assingnment as a TV Exsta I was thankfull.
