THESE ARE A LOT OF TIPS ON WHAT NOT TO BE DOING. IF YOU LOSE FOCUS READING THEM, PAUSE AND COME BACK LATER TO FINISH.&nbsp;THESE ARE MEANT FOR PIMN MODELS THAT PASS AUDITIONS. As are all blog posts. What you see of blog posts are only scraping the surface of what Pimn offers women who are motivated enough and can qualify.&nbsp;Pimn isn't just about tips on a blog. It's about an actual virtual modeling school you do from home. The best models tell us such things as..."I'm seeking to learn more, I'm easy to work with and willing to be the best I can be. I truly love modeling and feel I need guidance and is why I'm seeking Pimn Sir." They demonstrate extremely positive attitudes and very open to learning and applying whatever it takes to discover the cover model within. The ones that qualify are the ones that find they are learning already alot just off the Pimn blog.&nbsp;Don't argue with any trainer, mentor, manager. Or...Don't complain&nbsp;Don't be late&nbsp;Don't curse&nbsp;Don't show anger. If upset, talk calmly and politely and express yourself maturely.&nbsp;Don't chew gum on video shoots or during video response clips. You can have gum, just don't be chewing it while filming.&nbsp;Don't be lazy or unmotivated.&nbsp;Don't laugh if a trainer is trying to be serious.Don't ignore studying or reading and applying.&nbsp;Make a habit of reading at minimum one blog post a day until caught up.&nbsp;Do not do a photo video shoot in a wardrobe that hasn't already been shown on video or photos to your trainer. They could have recommended changes needed.&nbsp;Don't look or view fitness as a judgement on your looks. Even the best models keep working out to look their best.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't skip scheduled routine shoots without consulting your trainer first with a video request to skip that day and provide another next time you can do so.&nbsp;Don't be rude to trainers, mentors, managers, photographers, makeup artists, other models, even if you think they are prettier. That's not professional or mature.&nbsp;Don't question a trainers request. Unless you have very good reason. And do so politely and respectfully.&nbsp;Don't ghost messages or emails. This is highly disrespectful.&nbsp;Don't delay communications. Also very disrespectful to your trainers schedule or time.&nbsp;Don't be camera shy. You're a model, this must be left behind if you are video or camera shy.&nbsp;Don't skip a submission without informing trainer why, what happened. If an emergency, try your very best to send a quick msg to inform.&nbsp;Don't post content without approval. Your content always always needs to be reviewed first by your trainer.&nbsp;Don't bring in others without talking to trainer first.&nbsp;Don't post images with boyfriends or family on your professional portfolio.&nbsp;Don't video review promote unless approved and your scores are high enough. Given okay by trainer, mentor, manager to do so.&nbsp;Promoting by talking is one thing but video promos need to be a certain way.&nbsp;Don't change up attire once confirmed with trainer on your shoot.&nbsp;Dont buy new modeling clothing or shoes specific to model in without consulting your trainer with them on. Video preferred.&nbsp;If in person, never ask to leave early to try to rush a shoot unless you have an emergency. That means do not over book.&nbsp;Do not do editing in your first submissions each time you submit video or images.Don't ignore directions given by your trainer, mentor, manager. The very best models follow direction well.........Follow direction exactly as given is the sign of a more professional model. The better the model, the better she can follow directions of her trainer, a photographer, model manager, mentor.&nbsp;If in person, doing a shoot, don't complain of discomfort. If cold, ask nicely to warm up please. It is all in tone of voice. If too hot, request a cool down break. Getting angry or upset at others over your discomfort is amateur to do and an immature response.&nbsp;Don't blame others for what's not in their control and if it is in their control, be respectful and ask with a mature demeanor. Nobody likes to work with any model, regardless of looks that has an easily upset, arrogant, rude attitude.&nbsp;Delaying a paid shoot can cost the client more so being proficient and a great model that can get the job done is ideal. If you wont, keep in mind, another model can or will and never feel you are not replaceable. Many stories of both models and actresses fired or let go of on the spot for bad mouthing the wrong person or not being able to do the job right. Yes, its about enjoying what you do and not meant to be difficult but some models make it harder on themselves by simply having a bad attitude. So...Don't be that model if a Pimn model in training.&nbsp;One top cover model complained and cursed and three other women there looked at photographer like....can't believe she is talking this way to him. Is she serious? Was being very rude and unprofessional. Delaying the shoot. She got chewed out and told to get back on spot and finish the shoot.&nbsp;Do not do a shoot unprepared. If cold weather is anticipated, bring a jacket or coat.&nbsp;Don't ever be a no show, no call on any shoot, even if TFP. Word spreads fast and others won't want to work with you.&nbsp;Don't give respect to people then take it away, that's considered disrespect.&nbsp;Don't be talking to others while talking to your trainer keeping them waiting on your answer.If in person with a person for a shoot, do not be on your phone regularly txting. A very quick msg is ok. Turn phone off if at any in-person shoot or use vibrate. In case of family emergency at home.&nbsp; Treat txting and video responses as if in person. This is very rude on txt as much as it is in person.Don't drive and video unless you have full attention on the road. You don't need to look at camera unless stopped. Preferably not still on the road.&nbsp;Don't txt and drive to a trainer.&nbsp;Don't have bad audio in your video submissions.Don't send nudes unless you have stated one of your styles is nude art&nbsp;Don't get others into a pre recorded video submission, modeling or a communicating if at all possible&nbsp;Don't use dude, bro, hey, yo, WhatsUp, hey you or other slang to model trainers, mentors or managers. Its always Sir if a he and or Ma'am if a she.Do not be smoking or vaping on video submissions or eating or drinking. If someone interrupts you, pause it. Restart it when they are done if pre recording a video reply.&nbsp;If by chance you are ever video live chat with a trainer, mentor, manager and interrupted by others. Say, excuse me, may I get with you when I'm done here please? ....To the person interrupting. First person has priority of conversation. If you cut off a first person to speak to a second person, you are making it seem the first person is not as important.&nbsp;Do not have lighting too dark on video or images unless that is the desired effect.&nbsp;Do not shoot with a shaky camera and use a tripod or clamp, anything to keep camera still.Do not shoot in a bathroom Or post bathroom selfies or dirty bedroom or messy home pics.&nbsp;Do not post phone in hand, mirror selfies&nbsp;Do not be smoking or vaping on camera. If you need to do so, pause it, take a break. Come back to it. You set your own schedule with a trainer. However, keep in mind...you may be timed for scoring. As your pace is meant to in some areas improve on speed. Such as hair styles, wardrobe and makeup or changing attire between shoots.&nbsp;Don't change on video unless you desire for trainer to see a bts footage. Bts means behind the scenes. Which some models do this to add to their portfolio and edited for public.&nbsp;Don't hide face in shoots or use animal filters or other filters. This is more so for young girls not mature women.&nbsp;Do not do upside down shots. Huge no. Not very visually appealing.&nbsp;Do not do blood or gore, horror style shoots as Pimn does not support it. Halloween is acceptable.&nbsp;Do not do shoots related to illegal drugs or other such activity. Not as a Pimn model.&nbsp;Do not take incomplete modeling poses. Such as a hand almost up to your face. Or almost touching your hip or thigh, etc. Any image that doesn't look like a completed pose.&nbsp;Do not cut hair without talking to model trainer unless only trimming which should be done by a 1/4" monthly to help hair growth.Do not delay a shoot longer than is expected or requested to be timed and scored. Inform trainer if you feel you are going to be longer and by how much expected? Then stick to that time.&nbsp;Don't question scoring by a trainer. They are the instructor, not you.&nbsp;Don't argue about a temporary suspension. You may ask then don't hold it personally. Simply learn from it and do better next time.&nbsp;Do not look like you've rolled out of bed unless you actually were in bed at time of reply by video. It could be 2am in the morning. You dont need to make yourself up.&nbsp;Don't look at your watch while on video. Or other distractions.&nbsp;Don't be slow in changing for shoots. Some models take way too long and take their time. If people are waiting on you, move thy butt quickly and get back on spot.&nbsp;Don't ignore staying shaved. That includes everywhere. If you notice neck hair, shave it. Slightly visible mustache, shave it. Legs, under arms, bikini area.&nbsp;Don't ignore your new hair style a day training. In Pimn, models do video portfolios of these until they run out of options.&nbsp;Don't ignore doing hair and makeup for shoots. Every shoot, you are to look your best. One bad image can ruin a great portfolio.&nbsp;Don't mix casual shots of you on vacation, with friends partying, out with your pet if you have one with pro shoots. Keep personal life images separate from professional.&nbsp;Do not be petting or holding pets on video responses. If an animal accidentally gets on camera, say, excuse my dog or cat please. Or pause it or cut out that part. Same applies to other issues when pre recording video responses or submissions. Door bells. People showing up by surprise.&nbsp;Don't forget to inform others if any at home when you are shooting and modeling to not distract or interrupt please.&nbsp;Don't be on your phone if doing a laptop video return submissionDon't allow background distractions if possible. Be aware of sound and visual distractions when doing video or photos.&nbsp;Don't send if audio is muffled out by cars, people, trains or planes. Redo it. Yes, you can be outside, long as background sound isn't too distracting. Not heavy crowded areas.&nbsp;Test a video response first by reviewing it before sending it if able to.&nbsp;Don't get in anyone's way at gyms filming. Try times when least busy or a solo home fitness or with girlfriend if in a bestie program.&nbsp;Don't go into indepth detail on reasons for not submitting. Trainer only needs in basic form your reason.&nbsp;They may have other models to work with. If you wish to talk about anything, txt or video response...ask if it's not pertaining to training.&nbsp;Don't get others on video without their permission. You can film a potential meet up talk to another female interested for help on questions if she is okay with that. If you have too many background people,&nbsp; find a place with a wall behind you. Same applies at home. Even people or animals just walking around behind you or moving dishes can be very distracting. It's not professional way.&nbsp;Don't send a video in bad weather or while driving. Pull over into a parking area not the side of the road.&nbsp;If you can't answer tap any key once. It doesn't matter what. Your trainer will know. Best way is number of min until able to answer if able like 7 means....in 9 minutes ill answer. If driving, don't answer until stopped and answer in the time frame you have. Whether parked or at a street light.&nbsp;Don't let your model decisions be based on the opinions of others or friends or family not involved in Pimn. Unless emergency. They do not understand or know of Pimn standards. Unless you've told them. And that's alot to tell.Don't skip over blog posts. These are essential&nbsp;Don't give excuse after excuse or you'll risk suspension until you don't give excuses&nbsp;Don't try to tell a trainer how you use to do things or you were taught a different way by another modeling. Your trainer won't care. Just do it as Pimn trainer requests.&nbsp;Don't do photos with hair roots showing if dyed hair. Natural hair is better, realistic wigs for changing hair styles and colors.&nbsp;Do not wear nose rings, lip rings, eyebrow rings in photos.&nbsp;Don't ignore standards of etiquette&nbsp;Don't lie to your trainer.&nbsp;Don't be negative or insecure.Don't go missing for days, not inforning trainer why.&nbsp;Don't miss a check in video or check out video for a modeling day scheduled&nbsp;Don't not ignore taking notes&nbsp;Don't try to negotiate with a potential client&nbsp;Don't hire or ask for a photographer without consulting your trainer&nbsp;Don't be unmotivated in your modeling or fitness training&nbsp;Don't try to teach a trainer&nbsp;Don't put Pimn last, if it's not a priority to you, you might reconsider being a Pro Pimn model&nbsp;These are the top Don't dos list for Pimn&nbsp;pro models are highly self-disciplined and stick to routines of training and mastering modeling. Pimn models care about professionalism.&nbsp;Don't take photos or videos with gawdy backgrounds. Background is everything in a photo. No trash cans or trash, no people, no stacks of beer bottles, etc. Be aware of your background and make it match your wardrobe. You wouldn't wear a bikini under a highway bridge or a dinner dress In a workout room.&nbsp;Do not be flaky or wishy washy in your decisions. Do not be a quitter just because it's hard... It can effect your future in modeling.&nbsp;Nobody said pro level modeling would be easy.&nbsp;NEVER raise voice or yell or curse at anyone on a photo shoot. Treat everyone respectfully..Never leave an in person shoot without offering to help clean up if the situation is one where such seems needed. Being helpful to others makes you stand out.&nbsp;However, do not touch other people's personal cameras or purses or bags. Equipment is different. But not cameras. You break it, you can be liable to pay for it.&nbsp;Don't leave for a shoot without triple checking everything needed.&nbsp;Dont forget to be grateful, thankful, courteous to not just your trainer but others you work with.&nbsp;Nobody like a late, rude, loud, crude, obnoxious, lacking of courteous model that only thinks about herself and her ego is so high of herself, she repulses people to want to work with her again.&nbsp;Don't be that model. Don't get a big head that you become argumentative to what others hiring you or training you say.&nbsp;DO LEARN THESE AND LEARN THEM WELL IF YOU ARE ACCEPTED INTO PIMN MODELING.&nbsp;PIMN Director&nbsp;<figure id="figure-hlcsx22ylim99w70kk"><img id="hlcsx22ylim99w70kk" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1157825993/photo/fashionable-young-woman-wearing-bustier.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=zK8Do1lnUXctjDkVTU0qtHl0JDBgYDHBXPQxWqruRj4=" alt="Fashionable young woman wearing bustier" title="Fashionable young woman wearing bustier" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 10%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="10%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1157825993/photo/fashionable-young-woman-wearing-bustier.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=zK8Do1lnUXctjDkVTU0qtHl0JDBgYDHBXPQxWqruRj4=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 10%;"></figure>

Just keep it professional. ●● Yes, boudoir is allowed, what styles you and her or group of models are comfortable with doing is up to the group. Keep in mind now that training shoots are filmed in progress with BTS submissions too to your trainer.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-bsxz11b0rsm923cs8t"><img id="bsxz11b0rsm923cs8t" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/16spMKrRCYQhcfJCFRYU2l4QKmF147SzssrZ5R6HgvUsi4Z9WWPlITrHDG0v2ISL.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 90%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="90%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/16spMKrRCYQhcfJCFRYU2l4QKmF147SzssrZ5R6HgvUsi4Z9WWPlITrHDG0v2ISL.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 90%;"></figure>●●● Whether a business style, fitness shoot, bikini beach shoot, rented studio or hotel split by each model on cost if desired, etc can be live recorded once tested and is sample clips BTS if not tested. ●●● Yes, models are tested on speed and proficiency as they go. Regardless of style chosen.&nbsp;●●● These are all female shoots. You are doing your own photography, videography. If you add a professional photographer, it needs to be a SHE.&nbsp;● While it will however become longer times on shoots, a typical solo two hour shoot could turn into an additional two hours per model. ● So, keep this in mind if adding more girlfriends.&nbsp; Having 4 could result in a weekly 8 hr + shoot to have time for all involved. You may rotate it however you wish.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-f804dq4fselm8wv9spk"><img id="f804dq4fselm8wv9spk" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/33klDPnUM7mCHYUsvvBFEzmBMyZNq7Hegdmd5v07iPrI3deFhGPPyJDm43AirL7O.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/33klDPnUM7mCHYUsvvBFEzmBMyZNq7Hegdmd5v07iPrI3deFhGPPyJDm43AirL7O.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>8.As a Pimn model in the bestie program, you are each fully responsible for who you allow over to enter your residence. OR your girlfriends residence, she is responsible. ☆ Pimn is not responsible for ANY issues that result within any residence. Period.&nbsp;This is your own choice to add others to your modeling and to assume the risks that go with it. This includes but is not limited to broken, expensive items in your residence or missing items. You fully agree to all and any risks or damages. This includes vehicles. Outside damages. All Pimn models agree not to ever hold Pimn liable for any damages, injuries or other accidents, etc while modeling.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-i5ceasrlfmm8wwpyqv"><img id="i5ceasrlfmm8wwpyqv" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/181860464/photo/roommates-enjoying-a-meal-together.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=iC8Nrwvsouviro5pDqeQICr-3merNvwKf2PcGEE9pmY=" alt="Roommates enjoying a meal together" title="Roommates enjoying a meal together" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/181860464/photo/roommates-enjoying-a-meal-together.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=iC8Nrwvsouviro5pDqeQICr-3merNvwKf2PcGEE9pmY=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>9.Anyone not known well is not recommended. Theft or issues can result if you allow into your home the wrong person. This is called BESTIE PLAN for a reason.&nbsp;10.It's those girlfriends you fully trust 100% inside your or her residence. That's your own responsibility and risk to invite another model outside of your friendship circle. 11.This is another reason why Pimn models can not be on emotional wellness medications or seeing a psychiatrist or have any criminal connections or background.<figure id="figure-doa35csk3am8wvap5f"><img id="doa35csk3am8wvap5f" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/21O8tZ314GZuLcrh235zPItzfVFxenXXuw2VArg1HNemXu9LspMGygiqxqglRoqE.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/21O8tZ314GZuLcrh235zPItzfVFxenXXuw2VArg1HNemXu9LspMGygiqxqglRoqE.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure> 12.This can lead a model to be let go from Pimn...if later discovered she lied on her application. This is not to discriminate, this is a standard for safety reasons that ALL MODELS adhere to.&nbsp;13.Any such model must show a doctor's ok for mental and emotional stability if she is on any anti-depression medications. Any ptsd or bipolar disorder is not allowed.&nbsp;14.Absolutely no alcoholism or illegal drug users or any associated to gang activity or violent groups. No prior violent history. Prior abusive relationships do not count.&nbsp; Alcoholic beverages should not be used or consumed while shooting. But can be part of a shoot if doing an ad video or photo for a wine, beer or champagne, etc. Do not consume more than one.&nbsp;15.Joining with another best friend can help you both stay more committed because there is more interaction during your own shoots at home.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-vntnbi2ktkm8wveivb"><img id="vntnbi2ktkm8wveivb" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2bQzustEudzcIQGie6sVcJ5QoLwILW29eIlZm1THl9CQ6YrlH38XeRnjymTzGmjE.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2bQzustEudzcIQGie6sVcJ5QoLwILW29eIlZm1THl9CQ6YrlH38XeRnjymTzGmjE.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure>16.Helping each other with setting up equipment, backdrops, camera, tripods, moving something needed while you're modeling vs stopping to do so yourself every time.&nbsp;17.A best friend can help be watchful during outside shoots for dangers and help watch items needed for the shoots. While one is filming and doing delayed timer shots, the other is being observant of surroundings. Keeping in mind, while outside, biker thieves do exist!<figure id="figure-g4fdlhfq8mm8xk64c8"><img id="g4fdlhfq8mm8xk64c8" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/24RAorz9yEdSVQTInbSpyiM3WP5Xp2YSzExQJyBuJMcuI4vrYlCdrLFXafqmlaly.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 40%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="40%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/24RAorz9yEdSVQTInbSpyiM3WP5Xp2YSzExQJyBuJMcuI4vrYlCdrLFXafqmlaly.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 40%;"></figure>● It takes only SECONDS to lose your phone and tripod or purses. So keep personal items in outdoor shoots secure to body or objects that they can not be swiped.&nbsp; ● Depending on location, animals can also pose a risk. As well as other traffic dangers or holes, ledges, cliffs, etc. ● Do not do risky shoots on rocks where ocean waves could knock you off rocks into the ocean. ● Do not stand near ledges of high cliffs or in areas where there is high traffic or lots of people passing by which can lead to theft.&nbsp;Your safety MATTERS!&nbsp;<figure id="figure-akde4xjt7km8xk4yq2"><img id="akde4xjt7km8xk4yq2" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/03pmvhJw0hSKwJrcRtG9ZcutlS6UCtxubPAWS7dQYgIdgp2fVZgqhCORYNPvIVGz.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 35%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="35%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/03pmvhJw0hSKwJrcRtG9ZcutlS6UCtxubPAWS7dQYgIdgp2fVZgqhCORYNPvIVGz.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 35%;"></figure>18.Talents shared to each other. One may have better hair skills than the other while another may have better editing ideas or skills than the other. Sharing talent and skills makes for better modeling and higher motivation.&nbsp;19.Far easier to share in public to other women when there are 2,3,4 models together talking and sharing it to another solo female or group of women.&nbsp;20.Assisting in refreshments or foods, as well as being each other's tip idea provider. Remember director said not to do it that way? Oh yeah, I forgot. Thanks for the reminder! Or your own ideas to help your friend on her modeling as you may have more experience than her.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-otonnegcwm8wvg3pa"><img id="otonnegcwm8wvg3pa" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/172782827/photo/fashion.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=wS2CXiDR7pape4Vf8sAvPg-saewbviVOERmZj6k-Cmk=" alt="Fashion" title="Fashion" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/172782827/photo/fashion.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=wS2CXiDR7pape4Vf8sAvPg-saewbviVOERmZj6k-Cmk=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>Basically, there are at least these 20 top benefits or differences and tips for being in Pimn through the Bestie Plan.&nbsp;There are other areas such as one may have equipment the other hasn't yet purchased that could help out both. One may have an editing app the other isn't aware of. Two heads are better than one. Three are better than two and four are better than three!

This means paying attention to what others are saying, asking questions for clarity, and providing thoughtful responses. Models who excel in communication also tend to have an edge during castings and photoshoots as they can easily adapt to the creative vision being shared.&nbsp;Excellent communication is a mature and professional model.

Don't allow it in or accept to hear it. It doesn't demonstrate confidence, it demonstrates to others insecurity. Pimn modeling doesn't accept insecurity. Working on anything you aren't confident about means you're not insecure, you're embracing change head on. Showing yourself you're going to do it. Maybe isn't an option. I think I can isn't accepted. I hope I can isn't either.&nbsp;We want to hear, I got it Sir. I'm on it. I'll get it done by x time as requested. Chase it down, get on it.

Mastering the Three Cs of Modeling: Communication, Confidence, and Commitment

<h2>Understanding Integrity in the Modeling Industry</h2>The modeling industry is a vibrant and competitive field where integrity plays a crucial role.&nbsp;Models, photographers, agencies, and clients must adhere to ethical standards to ensure fair treatment and professionalism. Integrity involves being honest, transparent, and accountable, which helps build trust among all parties involved.For models, maintaining integrity means being truthful about their skills and experience, as well as respecting the commitments they make to clients and agencies. This means pro models are loyal to who helps them and doesn't up &amp; run at the first offer of some higher paid offer.&nbsp;This is essential for fostering long-lasting relationships and securing future opportunities.&nbsp;On the other hand, agencies and clients are expected to treat models with respect and fairness, offering clear contracts and safeguarding their well-being.<figure id="figure-eaq5e5my1km8ex0pzb"><img id="eaq5e5my1km8ex0pzb" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/460667643/photo/summer-fashion.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=aAxMMxSBia_36z-M7_Jmkhk9xeYEFLb-_iGWGbB_u9E=" alt="Summer Fashion" title="Summer Fashion" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 35%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="35%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/460667643/photo/summer-fashion.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=aAxMMxSBia_36z-M7_Jmkhk9xeYEFLb-_iGWGbB_u9E=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 35%;"></figure><h3>The Role of Respect in Modeling</h3>Respect is the foundation of any successful collaboration in the modeling industry. It involves acknowledging the rights, dignity, and contributions of everyone involved. Models deserve respect not only for their talent but also for their time and effort. This means honoring agreed-upon terms, providing safe working conditions, and ensuring timely payments.Respect also extends to how models are portrayed in media campaigns. Ensuring that imagery is culturally sensitive and does not perpetuate harmful stereotypes is essential. Brands and agencies must embrace diversity and inclusivity, showcasing a wide range of beauty standards that reflect the real world.&nbsp;We see all too often models complaining that a photographer for TFP is sharing their images and yet, they never received theirs. And photographers ignoring them. Or vise versa, photographers trying to contact models about why they never showed up or contacted that photographer and they ghost the photographer.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-npi35f1d4am8expa07"><img id="npi35f1d4am8expa07" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1174982487/photo/please-sign-right-here.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=uZT9ocEByxA2dHmHKbH0N-jjNLXt7QgINuNGAZEGPFU=" alt="Please sign right here" title="Please sign right here" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1174982487/photo/please-sign-right-here.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=uZT9ocEByxA2dHmHKbH0N-jjNLXt7QgINuNGAZEGPFU=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Models are always navigating shark waters. Even a model signed on will get approached and by some unprofessional people, they may do everything to convince that model she is in the wrong place.&nbsp;Even if she claiming loyalty to Pimn, if another agency sees she's in a non-binding contract, the sharks will continue to circle her, moving in one by one to take bites at her. Why? Offers. Until she gives in. Feeding her negatives about the place she's at. Until she starts agreeing with them. Until she signs with them. This is an underhanded business practice.&nbsp;These are NOT professional people who try to steal models for their own profits.&nbsp;Regardless of payment offer, the most professional models will still forward her offer to the ones who helped her get to where she is.&nbsp;<figure id="figure-d61970ekq8m8ex0xa4"><img id="d61970ekq8m8ex0xa4" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/514877769/photo/shark-diving.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=6imAE7Gh23f642MD6b9W99Hfjk_FEF-HEHm7mFnW_v8=" alt="Shark Diving" title="Shark Diving" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/514877769/photo/shark-diving.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=6imAE7Gh23f642MD6b9W99Hfjk_FEF-HEHm7mFnW_v8=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h2>Challenges and Solutions</h2>The modeling industry is not without its challenges. Instances of exploitation, unfair treatment, or breaches of contract can occur. Addressing these issues requires a commitment to integrity and respect from all parties. Models should feel empowered to voice concerns without fear of retaliation.&nbsp;Polite and respectful communication between both parties should be happening. Models are valued. So are trainers, managers and schools or agencies. All should respect each other.&nbsp;A model manager plays a vital role in mediating between models and clients, ensuring that agreements are honored and that any disputes are resolved amicably. If any work is offered by an outside source.&nbsp;By fostering open communication and implementing strict guidelines, the industry can work towards a more ethical and respectful environment.<figure id="figure-t2rbgcyisbm8ex14vt"><img id="t2rbgcyisbm8ex14vt" src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/36oifC7QWkijJIHwjcVr6F8HQ8IdBDRTAQORV8YNPNZeRXJO5kV8ntNt2S0kYekC.jpeg" alt="modeling contract" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/getty/36oifC7QWkijJIHwjcVr6F8HQ8IdBDRTAQORV8YNPNZeRXJO5kV8ntNt2S0kYekC.jpeg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>Creating a Positive Environment</h3>Building a positive environment in the modeling industry starts with education and awareness. Model trainers provide training on professional conduct, diversity, and inclusion. This helps models understand their rights and responsibilities while equipping them with the tools to navigate the industry effectively.Furthermore, industry leaders should advocate for policies that protect models from exploitation and discrimination. By championing these causes, they set a precedent for others to follow, encouraging a culture of respect and integrity.<figure id="figure-5dn8oxyak5m8exybuh"><img id="5dn8oxyak5m8exybuh" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1355493089/photo/two-business-people-greeting-each-other.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=POUdY3KDy9n7O8y-Vw-0nYnRo61ZHojQMpqDoypxP_E=" alt="Two business people greeting each other" title="Two business people greeting each other" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1355493089/photo/two-business-people-greeting-each-other.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=POUdY3KDy9n7O8y-Vw-0nYnRo61ZHojQMpqDoypxP_E=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h2>The Benefits of Upholding Integrity and Respect</h2>When integrity and respect are prioritized, everyone benefits.

Where models are more so independent looking for gigs. Because most that never went through modeling school were never taught about these areas that are the higher level of modeling.&nbsp;Some, not all...Freelance models due to this can become wishy washy, lacking communication, don't show to shoots or are late, don't communicate effectively their actions and don't take into consideration the time and effort of others whom are waiting on them, dedicated a lot of time on them, etc&nbsp;The same has happened to reliable models that find themselves working with wishy washy photographers or hair and makeup people that stand them up, messing up their shoot with no call, no shows.Cocky attitudes not accepted. I don't care attitudes not accepted. Moody, flip flop personalities, bitchy one day, happy the next, wishy washy, commonly ghosts, disrespectful, rude and obnoxious has no place in modeling.<figure id="figure-16fcpb7tzgm8f6ynyc"><img id="16fcpb7tzgm8f6ynyc" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/809072646/photo/elegant-young-woman-standing-arms-crossed.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=9lJp3VKE4QGQqDyh6Uf-MOwKsPAtf1th_UBMjHS5Fx0=" alt="Elegant young woman standing arms crossed" title="Elegant young woman standing arms crossed" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/809072646/photo/elegant-young-woman-standing-arms-crossed.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=9lJp3VKE4QGQqDyh6Uf-MOwKsPAtf1th_UBMjHS5Fx0=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure> Saying "oh, sorry, I forgot about the shoot, I got busy!" Isn't acceptable. Such a model or other mua etc needs to get their act together. Or don't be in modeling.&nbsp;It's very unprofessional and disrespectful and lacking respect to ignore or disregard others time.&nbsp;Such people have no business in modeling and is a level of immaturity. Loyalty and respectfulness, politeness and proper communication is maturity. This isn't a power game. It's meant to help you in your passion.&nbsp;So, if accepted into Pimn....keep these in mind always and stay mature. Calmness is maturity. Politeness is maturity. Not quick to anger or upset or offended since models need to have thick skin.<figure id="figure-qvjkqgv8jym8f7aa23"><img id="qvjkqgv8jym8f7aa23" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1372091522/photo/young-man-and-woman-in-the-gym-after-fitness-workout.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=04BRcbpnEMP_kYRagp1CGrEytmVPdRRoZjIS7RoqY5I=" alt="Young man and woman in the gym after fitness workout" title="Young man and woman in the gym after fitness workout" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1372091522/photo/young-man-and-woman-in-the-gym-after-fitness-workout.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=04BRcbpnEMP_kYRagp1CGrEytmVPdRRoZjIS7RoqY5I=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure> If a trainer says, you're putting on weight, get more into the gym, don't complain and pout, just agree. "Yes Sir. I will. I'll show video clips of my extra times in." It's not meant to offend you, it's meant to help you look your best. If your trainer says, "You are too thin, start eating an extra meal daily." The same applies.&nbsp;Communicate and respect what you're being told to get done. It's rather simple. Your trainer, mentor, manager is your modeling boss. Treat them like you would a boss at a job. Always.&nbsp;If given another offer for coming into a new agency, etc bring it to your manager to discuss it, dont go behind their backs to sign on without doing so.<figure id="figure-gwlbqzt6xekm8f7glei"><img id="gwlbqzt6xekm8f7glei" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/39TogYY6bjVIyns3h0nI7fb9trHhkzLEmxHtTdlfdQC6wQ0ONsDq2bwWLZW79944.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/39TogYY6bjVIyns3h0nI7fb9trHhkzLEmxHtTdlfdQC6wQ0ONsDq2bwWLZW79944.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: center center;"></figure> Regardless what pay is offered. Loyalty is maturity and professional. Lack of loyalty is immaturity and unprofessional.&nbsp;Trust and appreciate those who help you vs running after strangers offering dollar signs. You may regret breaking loyalty later by only seeing dollar signs.&nbsp;MOST OF ALL...HAVE FUN WITH IT AND GROW. PROGRESS AND SUCCEED. PIMN IS WITH YOU IF THAT'S YOU AND YOU STAY. IT'S A CHOICE.&nbsp;The smarter women know how to take action, step up and open that door and stepping in. Vs most...who just wait and delay and think it will fall into their laps. It won't. Unless you get lucky.&nbsp;Pimn Director&nbsp;<figure id="figure-oikbutysem8ex1epl"><img id="oikbutysem8ex1epl" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/538483880/photo/attractive-woman-in-underwear-sitting-on-the-floor.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=Ctn2RwDqKSbto8nyC_D2guRLXQLLDcCNYoXt9JTXnvE=" alt="Attractive woman in underwear sitting on the floor" title="Attractive woman in underwear sitting on the floor" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 90%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="1:1" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="90%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/538483880/photo/attractive-woman-in-underwear-sitting-on-the-floor.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=Ctn2RwDqKSbto8nyC_D2guRLXQLLDcCNYoXt9JTXnvE=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 1/1; object-position: 50% 90%;"></figure>
