Godwin Brian Asonye: Crowns of Duality – Fluidity & Form

Features, Articles, Editor's Pick

In a world of ever-shifting boundaries, lam both the question and the answer, the storm and the calm, the bold and the bare. Crowns of Duality is a visual manifestation of my androgynous identity, a fluid dance between elegance and defiance, vulnerability and power. It is a space where masculinity and femininity collide, not to compete, but to co exist. Each frame in this editorial paints a portrait of transformation. From towering sculptural wigs that echo royalty, to soft gazes beneath platinum veils, to the stripped-back stillness of monochrome minimalism. I reveal every facet of my form. This work challenges the binary gaze and reframes identity as art. The fashion becomes my armour, my language, my rebellion. Through texture, light, and silhouette, I invite you not just to see ...

HOW TO BECOME A RUNWAY MODEL & WALK AT FASHION SHOWS Runway modeling certainly looks like a glamorous job. And this is true for the most part. Models enjoy dressing up, taking exotic trips, meeting famous people, and working with the biggest names in the fashion industry.

Red Flags to Avoid While Working With Photographers

Articles, Models

Some models we have worked with told us about situations in which they felt uncomfortable, and worse, abused in one way or another. We gathered several red flags we, ourselves, noticed or we heard from fellow models who shared their stories with us. As a rule of thumb, you should leave the place if there is something making you uncomfortable and the person in charge there is not helping with the problem. Follow your gut feeling in these kinds of situations. If a voice inside you is suspicious and asking you to leave, it’s better to leave. There will be always more modeling opportunities down the road. Photographer Invites You To His Own Place For Photoshoot If a photographer invites you to his own house or apartment for a photoshoot, it will be likely an unpleasant experience, to ...

How To Succeed At a Model Call And Get Booked?

Articles, Models

You might have seen people in black outfits lined up on the streets. This is a common scene, especially before fashion weeks. Production companies organize open calls to cast models to walk in their upcoming shows. The weeks leading to important time frames such as Lagos Fashion Week and GTbank Fashion Week are filled with model calls. Being successful at a model call and getting booked is more about your skill and behavior than your appearance. No matter what your height, body shape, or ethnicity is, you have an equal opportunity as everyone else to be selected (Excluding the shows that require specific looks).

How To Deal With Rejection As a Model

Models, Articles

I once asked a casting director about the average volume of applications they receive for the modeling projects they cast. Without hesitation, he said that they typically get close to a thousand applications within 24 hours of the casting notice going live, even if they are looking for only one model. This is the case if they are looking for a highly competitive genre and age group mix such as female models, 18-30 years old. For other roles targeting different age groups or non-female models, the volume may not be that high but there would be still hundreds of models to compete with. This means there is a high chance of getting rejected in every type of modeling work. If there is a model call for a runway show, you may see dozens of models lined up at the call time. If it’s an auditi...
