Elite Model Look 2012 - Bootcamp DAY 1


















On Monday, 27th August we well and truly kick-started the highly anticipated Elite Model Look bootcamp - a three-day intensive training for both boy + girl finalists, where they received advice on everything from how to pose on photo shoots and what to do at castings, as well as getting styling tips and walking like pros.

As we impatiently awaited our excited little bunch of finalists arriving from all across the country early on Monday morning, the Waterloo Film Studios were in full swing of preparations for the contestants' first ever big-production photo shoot. Straight in through the studio doors and the superb team of hair stylists, make-up artists and stylists were on-hand to begin the transformation - Billy & Bo hair team have ensured the girls' curly tresses looked immaculate and the boys were groomed to perfection, whereas our loyal friends at LOOK Beauty have worked their magic yet again to ensure the finalists looked picture-perfect!

Stylists Hannah Hughes and her dedicated team of assistants put together an impressive wardrobe with a hint of the decadent 80s, and once the full-transformation was complete, the girls looked every inch of the glamorous catwalk divas! The boys were dressed head-to-toe in swanky Topman creations put together by stylist Laura Harvey - and we can safely say that we have never found ourselves surrounded by a more handsome bunch of male models under one roof!
The photographers Rokas Darulis (girls) and Cecilie Harris (boys) did an outstanding job at capturing the finalists in both individual and group shots, resulting in stunning imagery.

And of course, the model bootcamp simply wouldn't be a bootcamp without a good dose of catwalk training - and who better to teach our beauties how to really WORK IT than our very own model scout Leah and Elite-model posse: Maddy Hooton, Emma Weaver, Kate Howat, Matthew Bell and Jed Texas.

With a help of all of the creatives involved in day 1 of the model bootcamp, our amazing boys and girls have come such a long way since we first scouted them… And whilst beaming with sheer pride, it was an absolute privilege (and pleasure!) to watch them grow into world-class supermodels!
