Pale or Tan!?!?
believe it or not I am so naturally pale! photographers and models which look do you prefer more? Do you like tan or pale models? i know that most glamor models are tan and most art/alternative models are pale. But which would you prefer to work with or hire? for me i got less work as a pale model, i was also only about 19. me pale.  me tan  maybe i get more jobs now because of my credits? I have been thinking about not tanning, but I am scared that it will hurt my look/business? whats your take on the whole tan/pale thing? edit.. better images with my regular skin tone.   May 16 08 02:59 am Link You look tanner in the pale picture and paler in the tan picture to me, in contrast with each other. May 16 08 03:01 am Link you have a beautiful skin tone. I'd keep it! I'm Puerto Rican, so I'm naturally tan, but i love the color of your skin. May 16 08 03:01 am Link I'm pretty sure it's not so much what tone your skin is , then it is your a better model now then you were then. so if you want to go pale it shouldn't hurt you anymore then staying tan . hope that helps whisper May 16 08 03:02 am Link I prefer pale.

May 16 08 03:02 am Link Jeska your skin tone is to die for..a lot of women wish they could have porcelain skin like that. I think it works for you really well..especially with your blonde hair. I've always been incredibly pale.. I prefer pale:) May 16 08 03:02 am Link Carmen Desiree wrote: the white? May 16 08 03:03 am Link i think you look great tan just because it contrasts nicely with your hair. if you tan, just do it safely! and use tattoo sunscreen to keep the ink fresh  ~Nautilus May 16 08 03:03 am Link Go pale! May 16 08 03:04 am Link Jeska L Vardinski wrote: Ahh I see haha. I think it's great that you look good pale and good tan. Just shows versatility, I think it all depends on what part of the industry you want to model in. May 16 08 03:05 am Link You are so fucking hot. Oh and tan. May 16 08 03:05 am Link I'm proud to be pale. I think the benefits out weigh the negatives in the long run. None of the women in my family have sunbathed for the most part and they all look extraordinarily younger than their age. May 16 08 03:06 am Link heres a better image to show off my paleness May 16 08 03:07 am Link Pale. You'll keep your exquisite looks for decades longer! May 16 08 03:08 am Link personally pale is easier for me to work with i hate shooting a runway show and having to change my w/b to tungsten cause a model looks like an umpalumpa with bright orange skin May 16 08 03:09 am Link Jeska L Vardinski wrote: May 16 08 03:09 am Link Skydancer wrote: Jeska L Vardinski wrote: ::nods:: thanks May 16 08 03:10 am Link Jeska L Vardinski wrote: May 16 08 03:12 am Link Dare I say a girl in Cali should have a tan? May 16 08 03:12 am Link Jakki Browne wrote: i think so too May 16 08 03:16 am Link tanning causes wrinkes and cancer and basically just ages the skin i dunno about you but i wanna be a hot 40 year old. i suggest custom spray tans not cheap either but no cancer involved May 16 08 03:18 am Link i have no preference. but on the wish list, just once, is a girl with a lined tan like the Playboy's of the 70s. the contrast in B/W is awesome May 16 08 03:21 am Link DJKender251 wrote: lol i hate tan lines!! May 16 08 03:24 am Link I think the pale look is great for you, hell, it's your natural color. If a more "golden" tone is required, the light could easily be altered (or PS) to reflect that without you having to worry about skin damage and your career would be longer so you'd get more jobs long term anyway. May 16 08 03:24 am Link use sun tan lotion and tan outside nude. or use TANTOWEL (http://www.tantowel.com/). my mom owns a salon and carries the product, its great! i have an issue of tanning too fast when im hanging out outside and getting tanlines May 16 08 03:27 am Link IMS PHOTOGRAPHIC wrote: true May 16 08 03:40 am Link so pale or tanned dammit i'm so lost May 16 08 03:40 am Link Tanning = Bad for your skin. Pale. May 16 08 03:47 am Link my work hardly has something to do with my personal preferences, i shoot what client demands and shoot what i like in my free time for myself. May 16 08 04:19 am Link A very light tan is ideal for most things IMHO - pasty white looks sickly and ill in anything except golden sunlight, and a dark tan on a caucasian model is just daft and leads to extra lines and wrinkles for me to retouch! ps. I expect you get jobs for other reasons than your tan, Jeska  May 16 08 04:23 am Link Jeska L Vardinski wrote: Sounds like most prefer pale.

I think your natural skin tone is much lovelier on you than the darker one. Plus tanning is a pain in the ass and gives you cancer and wrinkles. PS, you're gorgeous. May 16 08 06:33 am Link I prefer pale... But I'm just a pale skin lover, hehe! May 16 08 06:37 am Link I prefer pale, because I do mostly alternative work. But also because in the UK girls don't get tan, they go orange or a completely unnatural shade of tan that doesn't suit them. I'm always pale because I don't like red lipstick with tan, and its crap for your skin. May 16 08 06:40 am Link i would say pale.. but i know how hard it is to stay that way.. if you spend any amount of time, outside.. you'll get un-even skin tone.. its easier to just tan and make sure your the same color, all over i'm normally pretty pale.. during the winter months.. but as soon as the sun comes out, my skin soaks it up.. and its hard as hell not getting tan lines.. i preferred pale for many years.. only in the last couple of years, have i started tanning.. because its hard not to wear shorts in the summer! i'd say go tan in the summer... get your pale shots in the winter..
