Larger nosed models.

I think the fact that you don't have a button nose is what gives you that edge and makes you interesting as well as classically beautiful. Jun 30 11 03:03 pm Link PhillipMatthews wrote: Good models know what angles are flattering to them regardless of whether it's their nose, butt or breasts that they are concerned about. If both the photographer and model are clueless of how to make a large physical feature look good, the results can be very disappointing.

Jun 30 11 03:09 pm Link tiny and cute isn't always the best fit for the project. here's lara stone:  it might be interesting to look through models.com top 50 and look specifically at the noses. http://models.com/model_culture/50topmo … &lnumber=1 Jun 30 11 03:10 pm Link I have a "big" nose when it comes to modeling, but in real life it's acceptable. I would much prefer a little button nose as it would suit my face more but hey what can you do?  Jun 30 11 03:11 pm Link To make the nose look smaller, - You want to minimize its casting shadows - look more straight into the camera than someone with a naturally small nose can. - Profile is not good if you want it to look smaller. If you don't care if it looks big and the rest of profile is good, go for it! But profile will not make a big nose look small! - You do not want it magnified by shooting with camera close to nose - keep camera away as far as possible. Close gives lens distortion magnifying what is too close. - Tilt chin up a little to get foreshortening of the nose. But not so much you are having us look up your nostrils! - Downward angles will make it look longer. Keri Atkins' first photo above shows distortion by camera too close. The camera will enlarge more, the closer something is to it. Opposite is true, too: camera close, outstretch your arm behind you straight out and your hand will look tiny; outstretch hand toward close camera and your hand will look huge. Thomas Eric's photo - the nose does not look prominent b/c model has much eyemakeup on, focus is on eyes, and outline of nose is faint in this photo. But if you look at the nose itself, it looks long and big - not small - b/c the camera is shooting downward onto it. She has tilted her head down, lengthening - not foreshortening - the nose. Tilt chin up foreshortens nose. To narrow the nose with makeup, do not put dark shadow down the whole sides. That is what they liked to do with Marlene Dietrich oftentimes you will see and it did not make her nose look narrow, just made it obvious how wide the nose really was. Narrow shading on either side of the - what do you want to call it - the top nose, more than just the bridge, and blend the wide nose in with cheek, same color. ALL OF THIS IS ONLY IF YOU want a smaller-appearing nose, if the client does, if the photographer does. If they are all happy with the size and shape of your nose - then don't worry. Jun 30 11 03:14 pm Link I am not a fan of my nose at all!! People tell me that getting it fixed could either help me or ruin my look... it's a toss up.  Jun 30 11 03:30 pm Link linda evangelista is one of my all time favorite models and her nose is far from small.......... Jun 30 11 03:38 pm Link Love this thread.... I hate my nose, I was slagged by my freinds when I was youger about my nose. They all had little button noses... I was and still am Paranoid about it, really hate my side Profile. Looking at the models who posted stating they had big noses,In my opinion are all georgeous.

Jun 30 11 08:48 pm Link I love models with big noses. Jun 30 11 08:52 pm Link I realize I never posted a photo, (though I'm sure you're all capable of looking at my portfolio). https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 7#10239167 18+ Best profile shot I have right now, I think.

Jul 01 11 12:30 pm Link Just had pre op today. Biggest check I've ever written. Jul 01 11 02:42 pm Link I have a big honker, I broke it twice as a child. I would love it fixed one day (maybe I will fall in love, marry and spawn young ones with a surgeon or wealthy man). Sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't. It looks fine with the rest of me - http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos- … 6075_n.jpg but close up it can be kind of dominating at times. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos- … 9875_n.jpg Other times, it's perfect and works with everything around it! http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos- … 5480_n.jpg I have unique shaped eyes and cheeks, I wouldn't really want to throw it all off with a different nose. Also, $$$$$$$$$$$ Jul 10 11 02:53 am Link My nose usually gets photoshopped down to be a lot cuter, but my nose I think is fairly prominent. Here's some shots where you can see her true form     And this is a profile shot of my nose w/ no photoshop:  Jul 11 11 08:33 am Link Miss Eva Marie wrote: That is a great profile...! Character beats cute in my world every time... Jul 11 11 09:22 am Link Thanks for bumping this thread Man I love this thread Jul 11 11 09:24 am Link Keri Atkins wrote: your nose is fine. I don't think its large at all. in fact its a pretty nose Jul 11 11 09:27 am Link 5 days post op. Bruising and swelling going down. Splint comes off on Wednesday .

There's few things that bring out character like a nice strong nose and character is sexy.   18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20211885 Jul 11 11 09:45 am Link I get to thank my dad's German genes for mine and being an athlete and breaking it twice! I've always felt like my nose is wayy too big. Didn't help that my "friends" used to tease me about it! After many years I have found angles to try to make it look smaller but surgery is always in the back of my head.   Jul 11 11 10:49 am Link I really don't think any part of a woman's (or man's) body needs to be fixed. It's just a matter of making what you have work for you. Different photographers will find different bone-structures appealing. If you're worried about your nose try tipping your head up a little, the nose will be foreshortened and not look as long/large. Jul 11 11 11:14 am Link I usually prefer shots of myself at a 3/4 angle. I don't like my nose, but I don't think I can justify getting it "fixed". It's pretty prominent in my avatar, but here's a couple more anyway... https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 51#9481451 18+  Jul 11 11 11:31 am Link T A Y L O R wrote: Haha Jul 11 11 11:34 am Link I have a little nose even though my mom has a big one, I have a big butt and big boobies. I don't think I'd look good with a big nose but I'm scared of plastic surgery. Some of you ladies that said you have big noses have really pretty faces, nose and all. Sometimes a refined nose can make one look quite classic Jul 11 11 11:41 am Link SweetPea wrote: Hm, I've heard from people that I have a 'classic' look, maybe my nose is a part of that, makes sense! Jul 11 11 12:43 pm Link Love-hate relationship. Broke it a year ago. No jobs because of it - according to my agent it is in my way of high fashion carrier because the designers don't like it:( Jul 11 11 06:34 pm Link Mine's pretty unwieldy. Hoping to learn to hide it :-/ Jul 11 11 06:43 pm Link Vogue_Junkie wrote: YOU are fucking perfect. just saying. Jul 11 11 06:47 pm Link Rena wrote: Glad to see your progress. Its a viable option and I am not just saying it. I did have one almost 20 years ago and it changed my life. Jul 12 11 06:27 am Link I too used to get the 'nose comments' in school etc. and knew I wanted a nose job when I was 15(!) I now would not change it, I seem to have more or less grown into it anyway! I agree with the poster(s) above, nose = character. Also great for classic modelling, jewellery, gowns etc. :  note: you can't tell from the front that my nose is slightly large! - If nose is not completely straight, tilt it slightly upwards. (and work out the more flattering side) -if too long, look directly, straight into the camera. -if too wide, look into camera but with face directed slightly to the side. -If too much nostril, look into camera with nose pointed down and eyes facing up. -practice in mirror! -Makeup = accentuate eyes OR Lips, not both, as your nose is already accentuated, three strong features will look a mess and not aesthetically pleasing. -accentuate cheekbones to compliment a long nose and elongate the face. -To compliment a wide nose, use winged eye makeup which widens the (rest of) the face.
