Imodeli engaqhelekanga uCoco Rocha uye waveza amaqweqwe amaninzi eVogue Italia, amaphulo okuthandwa yiBalenciaga, kunye nomlambo wadanisa ezantsi kuJean Paul Gaultier. Njengomnye wababonisi ababalaseleyo kulo mboniso namhlanje, ubuhle baseKhanada babeka iitalente zabo kuvavanyo kwincwadi entsha ebizwa ngokuba, "Isifundo sePose". Ifotwe nguSteven Sebring, naye owabhala le ncwadi, imodeli ithatha i-1,000 yeendlela ezizodwa ezimnyama kunye nomhlophe. Kutshanje, siye safumana ithuba lodliwano-ndlebe nomzekelo ukuze sifunde umceli mngeni wokwenza izinto ezininzi, ukuba waloyisa njani ilizwe leendaba zoluntu kunye nokuba uziva njani ngenye yeeprojekthi zakhe ezinkulu okwangoku-ukuba ngumama.
Abanye abantu bacinga ukuba ukwenza imodeli ngumsebenzi ongenamsebenzi kodwa le ncwadi yenzelwe ukuba ibe bubungqina bendlela iimuses kunye nokuma kwazo ezikhuthaze obona bugcisa bukhulu behlabathi kangangamawaka eminyaka.
Yintoni impembelelo yale ncwadi?
Incwadi ngenene inika imbeko kuyo yonke imizobo, yonke imuvi, yonke imifanekiso ekhe yaphembelela umsebenzi wam njengomzekelo. Uza kubona i-poses kwincwadi ethatha i-cues evela ku-Botticelli's Birth of Venus' kunye nabanye ababhekisela ngokucacileyo kuCharlie Chaplin. Yinto endizingca ngayo kakhulu. Bendisoloko ndivakalelwa kukuba nantoni na ebomini oyenzayo, kufuneka usebenze nzima kuyo kwaye uzabalazele ukuba yeyona nto ingcono onokuba yiyo. Abanye abantu bacinga ukuba ukwenza imodeli ngumsebenzi ongenamsebenzi kodwa le ncwadi yenzelwe ukuba ibe bubungqina bendlela iimuses kunye nokuma kwazo ezikhuthaze obona bugcisa bukhulu behlabathi kangangamawaka eminyaka. Ukusuka kwipeyinti, ukuya kwimifanekiso, kwizakhiwo, kwiimbongo, kwifilimu nangaphaya - konke kubuyela kwimodeli kunye ne-pose. Ngokokwazi kwam, akukho mntu wenze i-comendum efana nale, ngoko ndonwabile ukuzisa oku emhlabeni kwaye ndibone ukuba kuhamba njani. Ndiyathemba ukuba yincwadi abanye abantu abayihlekayo kwaye abanye bayifundisise ngokunzulu.
Umazi njani uSteven Sebring kwaye kwakunjani ukusebenza naye kule projekthi?
Ndadibana noSteven kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ngomhlobo omnye, uMazdack Rassi, umlawuli oyilayo weMilk Studios. USteven undixelele malunga nesixhobo sokulinga awayesebenza kuso esinokubamba yonke i-engile yemodeli, zonke ngaxeshanye. Ndibe yimyuziyam yakhe kobu buchwepheshe butsha kwaye sasebenza kunye kuyo ixesha elide sisenza umsebenzi wovavanyo onomdla kakhulu ongekabonwa luluntu ngokupheleleyo. Ngenye imini uSteven wandixelela malunga nendlela, kwi-90, wayefuna ukwenza uhlobo lwe-encyclopedia yomzekelo kunye nomzekelo omnye, kodwa akazange afumane imodeli efanelekileyo yokwenza nayo. Oko kwavakala njengocelomngeni oluhle kum ngoko mna nomyeni wam sabuyela kuye kwiveki elandelayo malunga nokubambisana nencwadi. Phantse kwiveki elandelayo saqala ukusebenza kuyo kwaye sakhetha ngokungenasizathu i-1000 njengenani elijikelezileyo lezinto esijolise kuzo-ukunyaniseka andingazi nokuba ndingenza i-1000 yokumisa ngelo xesha!
Kukho i-1,000 yeemeko ezizodwa kule ncwadi. Nokuba umntu onobuchule njengawe, ngaba ibingumceli mngeni?
Andiyi kuxoka, kwakunzima! Ndingomnye wabo bantu baya kubaleka kwaye bangayeki de ndiwa. Ndiyakuthanda ukuzityhala kwaye ndizimisele kakhulu ekujoliseni. Ukuza ne-1000 poses phantse ndaziva ngathi ndikukhuphiswano kunye nam kwaye kwakukho amaxesha apho ndandiziva ngathi ndizibekele umngeni endingakwazi ukuwugqiba. Ndikhumbula malunga nesiqingatha sencwadi ndixelela uSteven nomyeni wam uJames ukuba ndiphelelwa ngumphunga. Ngethamsanqa babekho ukuze bandikhuthaze kwaye bandinike ukhuthazo olutsha. Omnye wabo wayeya kukhwaza "uGrace Jones" okanye "uFred Astaire" kwaye ndandihlambalaza kwiindawo endicinga ukuba ziphefumlelwe nguloo mntu. Ngamanye amaxesha ndide ndidibanise abantu ababini. Kuthekani ukuba u-Elvis Presley wayesemzimbeni kaMarilyn Monroe? Wayeza kushukuma njani loo mntu? Ekugqibeleni umfanekiso ufana nomdlalo wejazz. Ndifumana ukukhaba ngokujonga emva kwincwadi kwaye ndikhumbule ukuba ngubani okanye yintoni ephefumlelweyo.
Kwenzeka njani ukuba ube netalente kubugcisa bokumisa?
Ukumisa yinto endisasebenza kuyo, ndingumfundi wanaphakade we-pose! Ndikhumbula ndifunda kwincwadi kaMalcolm Gladwell ethi "Outliers" ukuba kuthatha malunga neshumi lamawaka iiyure zokuziqhelanisa ukufezekisa impumelelo kwintsimi. Andiqinisekanga ukuba ndiyibethile na kodwa ndicinga ukuba ndisendleleni. Kwasekuqaleni komsebenzi wam ndiye ndahamba kuhlobo lwenkampu yokumisela imodeli e-Asia eyayinzima kakhulu. Xa ndandineminyaka eli-15 ubudala ndafakwa eTaipei naseSingapore ukuze ndikhuphe iikhathalogu. Ukuphoswa apho kukho umboniso omkhulu ndithetha ngawo kancinci encwadini. Umxhasi uhlala etafileni nabantu abalishumi kwaye bathi, "Kulungile ke ikhathalogu yethu namhlanje ithi "Sexy" okanye "Cutesy." Kwaye ke wena, njengomzekelo olwela umsebenzi, ulindeleke ukuba ugqame ngokuchasene nenye imodeli ukubonisa ukuba unomkhosi omkhulu wokuma kunaye. Kufana nokubonisa ukufa! Nje ukuba uwufumene umsebenzi udubula ikhathalogu yeefoto ezingama-75. Ngamanye amaxesha ndandidubula ezimbini ezo ngosuku kwaye oku kwaqhubeka iinyanga ziphela.
Kutshanje kuye kwavakala iindaba zokuba ulindele umntwana wakho wokuqala. Sivuyisana nawe! Ivakala njani?
Ndiyonwabele kakhulu le ndima ilandelayo enkulu ebomini bam. Mna noJames besisoloko sifuna abantwana xa ixesha lilungile, kwaye ngokwenene ndiziva ngathi ndikwindawo emangalisayo ngoku ukuba ndamkele umntwana. Ndinendlu encinci yasefama ethandekayo kweli lizwe, ndinomyeni wam uJames osecaleni kwam yonke imihla kwaye kunye sinomsebenzi onomdla kakhulu kunye neeprojekthi. Ukuba nomntwana iya kuba yeyona projekthi inomdla kakhulu nokuba omnye wethu wakha wayenza kwaye sonwabile ukubona indlela obuqhubeka ngayo ubomi. Enye yeengcaphuno endizithandayo kuJean Paul Gaultier obhale phambili kwincwadi yam "Enye yezona zinto zimangalisayo ebomini kukumangala". Ininzi kuphela onokuthi uyicwangcisele, abanye njengoko watshoyo uJean Paul Gaultier, yinto emangalisayo!
Ngaba ungathanda ukuba umntwana wakho enze imodeli xa emdala? UDoutzen Kroes mva nje uthe angathanda ukuba intombi yakhe ingavumi.
Ndiqinisekile ukuba uDoutzen unezizathu zakhe kodwa ndicinga ukuba iya kuba kukuhanahanisa kum njengomzekelo kumntwana wam ukuba athi akanakumodareyitha. Kuyo nayiphi na imodeli encinci eqala kweli shishini, ndicinga ukuba kubalulekile ukwazi kwaye uvavanye ukuba ungubani kwaye umele ntoni. Ndivuyiswa kukuba ndifumene impumelelo kwishishini kodwa ndiyazingca ngokuba ndiyenze ngokwam, impumelelo kuzo zonke iindleko ayizange ibe nomtsalane kum. Ndiyathemba ukubethelela ezo zithethe zifanayo emntwaneni wam ukuba amkhokele kuyo nayiphi na into akhetha ukuyilandela, ukwenza imodeli okanye ngenye indlela. Inye into endiya kuyithetha, ndicinga ukuba iimodeli zangaphantsi kufuneka zibe ne-chaperon kunye nabo kumahlumela, ngaphandle kokukhetha kumgaqo. Akukho sizathu sokuba imodeli yeshumi elivisayo ithunyelwe yodwa kwi-studio ye-photographer, ayimkelekanga. Kungcono ukholelwe ukuba bendilapho ecaleni ukuba unyana wam okanye intombi yam ibimodela!
Ngowuphi umzuzu ozingcayo ngomsebenzi wakho ukuza kuthi ga ngoku?
Ndikhe ndanexesha elimangalisayo lefashoni kumsebenzi wam ukusuka kwiqweqwe lam lokuqala le-Italian Vogue kunye noSteven Meisel ukuya kwi-Irish Dancing ezantsi kumgaqo kaJean Paul Gaultier, kodwa awona maxesha am ebhongo onke ibikuxa ndiye ndaziva ngathi ndenzele into entle. omnye umntu. Umsebenzi wam kumarhamente eHaiti naseKhambodiya uye wandanelisa njengoko kwaba njalo ngokutshintsha umthetho weemodeli eziselula eNew York kunyaka ophelileyo.
Unabalandeli abaninzi kangaka kumajelo eendaba ezentlalo, kwaye njengoko ndikhumbula, enye yeemodeli eziphambili zokuqala ukwamkela yonke into yemidiya yoluntu. Ngaba ucinga ukuba iimodeli ngoku zine "ilizwi" elingakumbi ngoku enkosi kwiindawo ezinjenge-Instagram, Twitter, njl.? Kwaye yintoni eyakukhuthaza ukuba uqale kwimidiya yoluntu?
Ukuqala kwam ukwenza imodeli, kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, kwakungekho midiya yoluntu njengoko sinayo namhlanje. Abafoti babesasebenzisa ifilimu yokwenene kwiikhamera zabo! Ndiziva ndimdala! Njengomnye wabokuqala kwifashoni ukwamkela imidiya yoluntu ndiye ndaziva ndithandabuza kwabanye abantu kushishino ngelo xesha. Kwakungekho mzekelo wemodeli onobuntu, ezithetha ngokwakhe kwi-intanethi. Abanye bandixelele ukuba ndabelana kakhulu, ukuba ndiya kuboyikisa abathengi kwaye iimodeli zefashoni kufuneka "zingenakuchukunyiswa" kwaye ndandifikeleleka kakhulu. Ngethamsanqa kum akuzange kube njalo kwaye ndaphumelela njengoko ndakha abaphulaphuli bam. Kule mihla ukuba nemidiya yoluntu kuyimfuneko. Ndiyazi ukuba abanye abathengi bafuna umda othile wabalandeli be-instagram kumantombazana abawaqeshileyo ke ewe, amaxesha atshintshile ngokuqinisekileyo! Ndicinga ukuba imidiya yoluntu inika ithuba elinomdla kum, njengomzekelo, ukuthatha ulawulo lwe-medium kunye nokuzibonakalisa kwam. Ukuba nabalandeli abazizigidi ezili-14, ndicinga ngocoselelo malunga nento endiyithethayo kwaye yintoni kanye kanye le ndiyimeleyo.
Ndabona uJean Paul Gaultier ebhala phambili le ncwadi. Uhambe nomboniso wakhe wokugqibela olungele ukunxiba. Ucinga ntoni ngokushiya kwakhe sele ekulungele ukunxiba?
UJean Paul Gaultier ngumhlobo wam endimthandayo kakhulu kwaye imiboniso yakhe ibe yeyona nto iphambili kumsebenzi wam. Ndiyaziqonda izizathu zakhe zokushiya i-RTW kwaye ndicinga ukuba kuninzi ekufuneka sikulindele ngemiboniso yakhe ye-couture. Xa ndithetha inyani, andinalo nofifi lokuba wenza njani emhlabeni imiboniso yefashoni emi-6 ngonyaka ixesha elide kangaka. Elo linyathelo eliphambeneyo lokuqhubeka nalo. Ngoku unemiboniso emi-2 ngonyaka kwaye iya kuba yimiboniso emangalisayo. Andikwazi ukulinda ukubona into ayenzayo ngokulandelayo.
Ungawacebisa athini amantombazana nabafana abanqwenela ukuba yimodeli?
Ndicinga ukuba imodeli elungileyo kufuneka ibe yingcali kwaye izimisele ukusebenza nzima. Amantombazana amaninzi acinga ukuba ukumodela yindlela yokuphila, kungekhona umsebenzi. Imodeli elungileyo kufuneka izazi ii-engile zakhe, ukukhanya kwakhe, kwaye ube khona ukuze ukhuthaze umfoti. Ngokubaluleke kakhulu, kufuneka azazi ukuba ungubani kwaye zithini iinqobo zakhe. Uxinzelelo oluninzi lunokubekwa kwimodeli yokulalanisa kodwa ndifumanisa ukuba ingqibelelo idla ngokuvuzwa. Kwangaxeshanye imodeli ikwadinga ulusu olungqindilili kuba inkcubeko yanamhlanje ngokuqinisekileyo iyenye yokugxekwa. Xa ukuva, "Utyebile kakhulu" okanye "ubhityile kakhulu" kwi-castings kunye nakumajelo asekuhlaleni, imodeli kufuneka izame ukungayithathi ngokwayo - nangona, xa ucinga ngayo, inene ngokwenene.
Ukuba ubungeyomodeli, ibiya kuba yintoni ikhondo lomsebenzi owukhethayo kwaye ngoba?
Ndaye ndahlolwa kukhuphiswano lomdaniso lwase-Ireland ndineminyaka eyi-14 ngoko ukuba andizange ndibe ngumzekelo ngendiye ndaya kuba ngumhlohli womdaniso. Bendisoloko ndiwuthanda umdaniso kwaye nange-14 bendifundisa amantombazana amancinci eklasini yam.
