THE ART OF MODELING FROM HEAD TO TOE!
BY DERRICK LAMPKIN



+ INTRO:
In the world of glamour, its all about displaying an attractive quality!
In this original we will discuss the world of being Sockless!
What is Sockless?
Sockless is the art of modeling from head to toe.
Its all about displaying your feet in a glamourous way even if you are barefoot.
Why Sockless?
No matter the shape or size of the woman, every woman has a natural form from head to toe.
The best way to display this is Sockless!


NOW, THIS IS NOT A FETISH PIECE.
The celebration of pretty feet in photography comes from the fact that not everyone has them in the first place. Secondly, you are not promised to have pretty feet forever. Especially if you work hard, are an athlete or wear too many heels. Life can take a toll on your feet when you get older. But if you take care of your feet at a young age, you can have pretty feet when you get older. So, kick off your shoes and lets get Sockless!


CHAPTER 1
CPS
CUTE | PRETTY | SEXY
Now, let us talk about the levels of being Sockless:
CUTE FEET:
Represents the model who feet are well maintained.
They are soft and even look good without polish!
You don’t always have to go to the salon, self-care starts at home!
PRETTY FEET:
This is a flashy statement, it represents the model
who always has her feet done up or
goes the extra mile and adds jewelry to her feet.
Toe Rings, Anklets + Barefoot Sandals are not only good for photo shoots,
but they can be a killer accessory to an outfit!
SEXY FEET:
This is seductive art. This represents the model
who loves to show off her feet.
She will go the extra mile and get a foot tattoo,
or always have attractive nail art on her toes.
Always put your best foot forward!



CHAPTER 2
ROYALTY
In ancient days…
Queens walked into the palace,
took off their sandals,
got their feet washed,
and walked on rose peddles
to their Throne!
Modeling is about having
this type of confidence.
So, when you are Sockless,
walk like a Goddess!
Before you do a Sockless Shoot,
ge into a Sockless Vibe!



CHAPTER 3
POINT + SHOOT
Now let us talk about being Sockless in Photos!
When taking photos Sockless it is a few factors to keep in mind:
First, it starts with The Point (Pointing your toes the right way). You must learn your point by developing techniques that best display your feet. Practice your techniques in the mirror, then perfect them by practicing while standing in line at the store or washing dishes. This will help will striking the pose faster and having the confidence that it will look good in photos.
The second factor to consider is weather you have Feet Art on in the photos. What is Feet Art? It is when you add jewelry (like toe rings and barefoot sandals) or add paint to your feet to go with the theme of the shoot. Remember when you are Sockless in a photo, you are modeling from head to toe! So, with this factor you would have to adjust your technique to best display your feet and the art. If you are not comfortable with showing off your feet, then use the art to hide them in the photo. But if you love being Sockless, use the art to enhance the attraction to your feet in the photo.



CHAPTER 4
OILS + LOTIONS
There is nothing worse than…
being Sockless and having ashy feet a photo.
If you do not like showing off your feet, use oil.
It will give off a glare that will act as a camouflage in the photo.
If you do like showing off your feet, use lotion.
It gives off a natural look in photos.
I recommend the night before a shoot:
to put lotion or oil on your feet
and sleep with socks on to moisturize your feet.



CHAPTER 5
PAINT OR NAW?
Now this time we are not talking about Feet Art,
we are talking about weather or not to wear nail polish?
When it comes to everyday life,
we love seeing nail art on women’s feet.
But when it comes to Sockless photos:
White Polish or french tips is always a classic go-to,
Red Polish is sexy and Black Polish is mysterious.
But the award goes to…
The model who feet looks good even without polish!
When you are sockless in photos, you are modeling from head to toe. You must plan or commit to the shoot. Your polish should match your wardrobe or remove your polish for a natural look. If you have fun with it, your feet can an accessory in the photo. It just depends on your style or the shoot.



CHAPTER 6
HEELS 2 KILL
MY #1 RULE: NO SHOES IN THE BED.
Heels are sexy when you are walking or standing up! When you are standing up, heels help highlight your figure. When you are walking in heels, they sound good!
Now, if you have on Open-Toe Heels in a photo, you are winning!
Open-Toe Heel can add a sexy quality if you show your feet off right.
Not everyone look good in an open-toe heel,
so choose your shoe wisely and still model from head to toe.
But when you are shooting in a bed, heels only look good when they are posed. Heels does nothing for your figure when you are laying down in a photo. Not to mention that heels can look akward in a photo if they are caught in the sheets.
The best thing to do is go Sockless, find your point
and you add the heels on the side.



CHAPTER 7
LINGERIE + SOCKS
FIRST OFF…
Lingerie + Socks
is a NO-NO!
Lingerie is something sexy
and should NEVER
be dulled down with socks.
If you don’t like showing off yor feet,
some sexy stockings would be a better alternative.
This is for when shooting in a bed or intimate setting.
If you do like showing of your feet,
Embellish your feet with jewelry
to make them glamourous
or use Feet Art to make the lingerie pop!
If the shoot is outside of the bedroom,
it’s time to break out the heels!
The trick is to alternate from sockless to heels throughout the shoot. This not only will give different looks but will also releive you from standing in heels too long.



CHAPTER 8
COUCH + SOCKS
When shooting on a couch, the socks look is only good for few shots. The best photos will come from poses that are Sockless. It all comes back to the form. When laying on a couch, Sockless shows your natural form the best. I also creates a good everyday-look or the perfect home vibe.
Posing with shoes on while on a couch is awkward and never has a natural flow. So, add the heels to the side for a high-end element or add some sneakers to the side for an edgy vibe!
When you are Sockless on a couch,
you are unlimited to the poses you can create.



CHAPTER 9
JEANS + SOCKS:
When it comes to Jeans + Socks
it creates a chill vibe.
But, when are in Jeans + Sockless,
it shows you in a natural element
and it’s a classic attire for
being sexy but conservative!
Jeans + Sockless poses
are good on the couch,
due to the cozy vibe.
But, if you can master this look
in an urban enviorment,
it is the ultimate flex!


CHAPTER 10
OUTDOORS:
Being Sockless outdoors are the best photos to me.
It commands attention to the shot!
During and after the photo shoot.
You must be careful…
when you’re doing Sockless outdoors.
It can be the ultimate allusion
or the ultimate fail.
MY #1 RULE:
ALWAYS HAVE A TOWEL OR WET WIPES
WHILE SHOOTING SOCKLESS!
The worst thing in a Glamour Shoot
while shooting Sockless is
having dirty feet in the shot.
You want to create the allusion of:
even if you’re walking outside Sockless,
you still can be glamorous.
This is represented best
while shooting at home, at park,
in a garden or any urban setting!
