The million dollar question. What is a Model?

Well, if you were to look in the press and on TV, one might have a very narrow view or thought about what a model is. So, what does the dictionary say?

Model: a person or thing considered as a standard of excellence to be imitated

We couldn’t agree more! The media wants us to believe that models are only a small group of people and we should strive to be like them. The definition, however, states “a standard of excellence”, and excellence can be what you believe it to be. Models are confident people of all ages, races, genders, shapes and sizes. Models are pregnant, curvy, tall, small and everything in between. Models are teens and adults of any age…every age is the right age! There is no world-wide standard of what excellence means, and we believe that everyone is what our new standard of excellence should be.

This year we are launching JDW’s Next Top Model. To us, that means that we are looking for people of excellence. The judges will not be judging based on what the stereotypical perception of a model is, but on how our contestants show their personalities and true selves in front of the camera. We are looking for all of you! Yes you, because you are who we believe the definition of model should include. Real people who love themselves, their bodies and their lives.

If this describes you – confident, full of life, wanting to try new things and to celebrate yourself for who you are – we would love to have you enter our
contest.

Let’s redefine beauty and show the world what excellence really is.

P.S. I decided to ask the question “What does the word “Model” mean to you?” on my Facebook page here are some of the responses.

– “Not only physical looks but inner beauty radiating through for the world to love, no matter if you are a size 2 or 20. Beauty is beauty regardless of the package as long as its the WHOLE package!”

– “Someone who has the bravery to portray their inner beauty on the outside. Confident, strong, fearless and most importantly, comfortable with who they are. They comes in all shapes and sizes and they are an examole of all the different types of beautiful people are.”

– “A model is a beautiful person on the inside and out. A person you can look up to, confide in and sets an example for others.”

– “Someone who has a glow and confidence about them. And they truly enjoy being in the spot light. Body Size and looks are not all that matters”

– “the fierceness to strut your stuff and love who you are, even if not a ‘supermodel’!”

These are just a few of the amazing comments we got when asking the question “What does the word “Model” mean to you?”

Check out what Leah and her mom Susan had to say about Leah’s photo shoot.

“My daughter Leah and I had an amazing experience with John. Leah was scared and debated backing out of her Sweet 16 photo session, but John talked to her and she easily changed her mind. From the moment we met at the photo site, to the end of the session John kept her smiling, at ease and completely thrilled with the day! I was worried about how to narrow down the photos (since he took 150+ shots), but even that experience was painless. I would recommend having John do any of your special moment photos as there is no doubt that you will walk away with very precious memories to cherish for a lifetime and many generations to come!
Thanks John for capturing this special event in my daughters life!” – Susan Shaw (mom)

“John took my photos and I had a great time with him! He made me feel relaxed and myself, I couldn’t help but smile for him! If any of my friends are looking to have some beautiful outdoor photos taken, I would recommend John. I have never had an experience like this, but would love to do it all over again! Thanks John for all of the help, encouragement and instructions you provided me!” – Leah Amber Shaw

“John Wills is an amazing photographer. I’ve never felt so confident in getting my picture taken or had so much fun with it. John has done my grad photos, a shoot me and my mother won’t forget, and they turned out AMAZING. So much better than the generic cap and gown everyone gets. John and I also did a “trash the PROM dress” session, and I am speechless at the results. I had the time of my life shooting with him and the results were BEYOND amazing. I couldn’t help but love every photo. It will be a wonderful thing to look back on later on in my life at my high school years. My mom and dad were also amazed by the pictures and how they turned out. John is a very likeable and comfortable guy to be around and does everything to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Myself, and the rest of my family, really recommend people, families, grads, anyone to John Wills Photography if they want some amazing pictures and an experience they won’t forget. I can’t wait to work with John again!”
