GlamModelz Magazine: Welcome to GlamModelz Magazine Kelsea Hume!

GlamModelz Magazine: How did you get your start in the business? Kelsea Hume: On accident. I wasn’t interested in modeling at first. I was more of an actress, but my agency sent out my headshot to a photographer looking to do a national campaign, and I ended up getting the job.

GlamModelz Magazine: What are your goals personally and with your modeling career? Kelsea Hume: To make it to LA. I want to be able to say I made it. So I’m hoping that I will get there. It’s slowly happening, which I am soooo excited about.

GlamModelz Magazine: Posing 101 any suggestions to newer models coming into the business? Kelsea Hume: LEARN YOUR ANGLES! You need to know your features. You have to be able put your best foot forward when you go to a go see or audition. People don’t care if you are new. They are going to treat you the same as any other model. So you have to really kick yourself into gear.

GlamModelz Magazine: What have been your greatest successes to date? Kelsea Hume: I’m not sure I can pinpoint one. I think it’s when I started working with Steve Maisch. The pictures we make are astounding. He’s amazing at what he does. Other than that I really think it’s just all the people I’ve gotten to meet.

GlamModelz Magazine: When you are working with a photographer do you bring your own concepts and idea’s as well as working with theirs? Kelsea Hume: Totally! It’s great to collaborate, but you also need to be compromising especially if you’re getting paid. You have to remember that you’re the canvas. When it comes to national ads you have to do what they need. However, if its trade for print, then it’s very easy to bring your own ideas.

GlamModelz Magazine: What are your thoughts and issues with Implied and Nude posing? Kelsea Hume: It’s all about what you want to do with your career. I’ve done implied work, and I love what I did. As far as nudes go, I haven’t found any interest in them. It’d have to be a very artful, but I honestly doubt I’d be interested. I think it depends on where I’m at in my career.
GlamModelz Magazine: Have you had the support of Family, Friends and loved ones with your modeling? Kelsea Hume: YES! They have been there through it all. My family loves what I do. My Dad when I first started was very into my career and still very much is. He loves going with me to auditions.

GlamModelz Magazine: What are your thoughts on bringing an escort to a photoshoot? Kelsea Hume: It’s all about what is going on. I think it’s always great to bring someone with you especially with trade for print. You don’t really know who the photographer is, and you don’t want to be in a situation you can’t get out of. With paid jobs, if it’s through your agency, and you’re over 20, I don’t think you should bring someone. Your agency wouldn’t set you up with a job or photographer they didn’t know anything about.

GlamModelz Magazine: What would you like to see change in the industry from a model standpoint? Kelsea Hume: Shorter models with some weight. Mind you I don’t weigh much, but I’m only 5’1”. Before Twiggy came around models weren’t 5’9” with 1% body fat. I think models like that work great for the industry, but I would like to see variety. More girls like me deserve a chance to shine. We all have our place, but I wish that models like me could have more of one.

GlamModelz Magazine: What gets you motivated everyday to stay in shape and look your best at all times? Kelsea Hume: I want to get up in the morning and say “Yeah, that’s me!!” and when Steve Maisch tells me he can hear me getting fatter. Hahaha Just kidding, but honestly, I just want to be proud of my body. I’m not where I want to be, but I’m very close. I’m proud to say I love my body.

GlamModelz Magazine: How do you handle the inappropriate offers and sometimes rude individuals when they contact you for a session together? Kelsea Hume: I simply say no thank you. Don’t ever give out your number on websites. Start with email. If someone consistently is rude then I handle it appropriately, but most the time if you say I’m sorry I’m not interested then they leave you alone.

GlamModelz Magazine: Your thoughts on TFP or TFCD sessions in general? Kelsea Hume: Love it!!! It’s great to expand your portfolio, especially for free. If you’re working with a photographer who is good then it can only make your portfolio more rockin!!!

GlamModelz Magazine: Any suggestions to models about wardrobe? What to have and where to find deals? Kelsea Hume: For auditions, always wear a simple look. Hair should always be down, and clothes should never be flashy. Two things a model always has….little black dress (form fitting) and black or tan pumps. Other than that I always hit up the clearance rack. That’s where pretty much all my clothes are from.

GlamModelz Magazine: What excited you the most when you first started modeling? Kelsea Hume: I wasn’t really excited at first. I did it because it was money, but after my first photoshoot I realized it was a ton of fun. So I just started perfecting my art. Then when I started getting people asking to shoot me that’s when I got excited.

GlamModelz Magazine: Facial expressions are a big part of a photo session, how and where did you learn this?? Kelsea Hume: I started out acting so taking acting classes really helped me learn to bring out my best in my emotions, and how to tap into them. Every model should have to take acting classes. They seriously help. Modeling to me is a form of acting. I also learned that a lot of it is in the eyes. I cover up my mouth and practice emotions with my eyes. It seems super silly, but it totally works!!!!!

GlamModelz Magazine: Do you feel that flexibility and diversity are important to a model portfolio? Kelsea Hume: YES! It’s the only way you’ll get noticed and make money. Being able to do different things is a really important part in a modeling career. If you become really known that’s when you can pick and choose what you’re really good at, but starting off its important to do as much as you can.

GlamModelz Magazine: How do you handle rejection; from photographers, agencies and your piers? Kelsea Hume: I just roll it off. You’re going to get a million no’s before you get one yes.

GlamModelz Magazine: How do you handle imperfections, and how important do you feel professional make up is to a model? Everyone has them. It is what makes us human, and everyone needs to wear makeup for photoshoots. Pro or not. I don’t care if your skin is perfect. You still need it.

GlamModelz Magazine: If you had one thing to tell a model just entering the industry what would that be? Kelsea Hume: Get tough skin. Don’t take anything personally. People are piranhas in this industry, but it’s also their job to find the best for what they need.
