Currently Fall/Winter 2014 Fashion Week is going on right now, and although it's a bit too late to send you ladies to castings, we will still be shooting your IMG Showcards this week. Furthermore, this is a great way to showcase the lovely makeovers that you are just got.

Now the goal of a showcard is to

+You will be shooting a showcard to show off your new makeover.
+Obviously you MUST use your makeover. Please note that your makeover does not have to resemble the inspiration image 100%. Just interpret the makeover description to the best of your abilities. If I feel you have strayed too far from your given makeover, I will let you know.
+The background should be simple, such as a simple texture or a solid color.
+The photo may range from waist-up to chest-up. We are not looking for full-body shots this week.
+Wardrobe should look high fashion/editorial. No swimsuits/underwear.
+Make-up is allowed, but nothing too extreme. The purpose of this photo is to show YOU off.
+I'd like these to be in COLOR (not b&w). I am able to add color to b&w photos. See photoshop guidelines for details.

I can do any of the following. If you have any other requests, let me know and I'll give you the yes or no.

1. PHOTOSHOP YOUR MODEL'S FACE INTO ANOTHER SHOT. Just give me (a) the face of your model you want to use and (b) the photo you want me to composite the face into. You are not allowed to use illustrations/graphic images, models currently in the competition, example photos or the inspiration photos used in your makeovers.

2. CHANGE BACKGROUNDS. Just give me (a) the photo with your model and (b) the background. I doubt you'll really need this this round, though.

3. TURN PHOTOS FROM B&W TO COLOR.

4. CHANGE HAIR COLOR. However, note that changing a dark hair color to a light hair color (black -> blonde) is probably not going to look good.

5. COMPOSITE DIFFERENT HAIR STYLES. Give me (a) the shot of your model and (b) the shot of the hairstyle. However, I can't guarentee this'll look good and the success rate won't be very high...

+Try googling your makeover (e.x. "honey blonde hair"). If you still don't find much, try adding "model" or "fashion model" to the search. If the hairstyle I gave you is typically a male hairstyle, add "female" to your search.
+Of course, you can always ask me to change hair colors or composite hair styles.
