Fashion models understand how to look their best in front of a camera or in front of an audience. They are aware of their bodies and how to move them into the most flattering poses. They also know which angles work best for them and how to move their faces to show suitable emotions. While fashion models use their instincts in photo shoots, they also take direction from photographers. Successful models are usually good listeners who can understand and follow directions quickly. Well-known models also use communication skills to speak positively about the businesses that hire them.
