About this blog

   Model´s editorials, pictures of professional photographers, pictures from the press shows, etc…we have seen them already so many times. They show a model´s life in the most glamorous way, which represents 5% of her professional life. We´ll show the other 95% in my posts. Because they are not pictures, but human beings having fun when discovering backstage...and because they attract so many curious people.

   Behind the grace is a Parisian modeling agency´s blog. Working with models is a hard work because it consists in managing human beings: they have feelings. They might feel unsafe in a huge new city and they arrived for work in Paris without having any friends in town. That is why it is important to show the agency the best way possible from this point of view. Because agents are supposed to take care of their models and make sure they are happy.

   All agencies communicates on their blogs about how successful are their models. Our state of mind is different: we will expose the model´s point of view instead of the photographer´s one, speak about how hard it can be to spend whole days in the street walking and doing castings all around the city, how many efforts it takes to stay cool in a huge new city without friends at the arrival, but also how funny it can be when you finally get the job and see crazy backstage.
This blog is made by a student and a model, someone who has experience in this domain but also someone who has a critic regard on it and who can analyze general trends.

  1. This is a good start. Very nice design.
    Please develop your blog homepage introduction a bit by including the information you sent to me in your e-mail, repeating that is is a student project, and also giving the reference blogs you sent to me.
    As discussed in class, the first entry should include a critique of an article:
    Take an article from your “reference blogs” or the press and critique it...
    Who is the author writing as? Himself, or a company voice?
    How trustworthy is the blog entry? IS the author credible, objective, or serving the corporate communications point of view
    What does it appear the corporate objectives are for the blog (refer to the list of questions in class notes 1, page 20.
    Good Luck
