Kube Studios Summer Review

Jenna's Kube Studios Review

Welcome back to the Kube Studios Review blog. As you will be aware, every week across our four locations our teams meet dozens of different men, women and children and are constantly being surprised by the level of ambition that's out there regarding modelling and the wide variety of people who want to get involved.

Fashion Photography at Kube Studios

Whether you are interested in becoming famous or simply want to try something new and get a bit of extra work to top up your day job, modelling really has something for everyone. The variety of models we see now in print and video has never been so great. Did you know there is even a modelling agency specialising in 'ugly' people! Alternative brands looking for eye-catching talking points and a slightly off beat image clearly find this prospect attractive.

One young lady who is clearly the opposite of 'ugly' and who visited Kube Studios in August is Jenna. Here's what she wrote to us last week following her day in our London studios.

Hey Mike! I just received the last of the photos I chose and I must say I'm really happy with all of them! It was such an exciting day and I'm really grateful to the guys for making me feel so welcome. I think you might get a call from my friend - her name is Carly E*****s and shes proper jealous of me! If i decide on any other photos I'll let you know but I'm happy with these for the mo :) Jennax

We love hearing back from people are their photoshoots so if you have something to say, we take all feedback on board as part of our efforts to provide a superior photography service. Visit the Kube Studios website and find more reviews on the Kube Studios tumblr!

Kube Studios Review from Tara

Kube Studios Review from Tara

Welcome back to the Kube Studios Reviews blog. This month we thought we would share some feedback we got from Tara who came to our flagship London studios in May for a fashion modelling portfolio shoot. She was fantastic to work with and the team wish her the best of luck in her next steps towards becoming a model. If you are also interested in having a portfolio shoot, get in touch with our team for packages and various options! Don’t forget that we have studios in Manchester, Birmingham and London so we’re never too far away from you!

Hi Mike! Thanks for writing to me. Ofcourse I’d luv to let you know how my day went! Me and my mum took the train up to London from Croydon and arrived at Kube Studios about an hour early. Your team made us quite comfortable as we waited and soon enough I was asked to start getting ready. That was wen my nerves kicked in!!! All morning Id been fine but my knees were shakey and my hands went all clammy! After meeting the photography team it gota bit better and within 20 mins I was back to normal pretty much. It was really fun but the time flew so fast. The photos I ended up choosing were really nice and mum just put one on the wall in our living room, super embarrassing! I hope that’s what you wanted! I can’t think of anything else to say. Thanks Kube!

Kube Studios: Dry hands a problem?

Kube Studios Tips for Dry Hands

Kube Studios

Kube Studios are a leading UK modelling agency with offices in Birmingham, Manchester and London's West End. Only a stone's throw from Oxford Street, Kube's flagship studio has the best equipment and a great team with high end modelling experience.

As the days are getting shorter and the air is getting colder, many of us have the problem of dry skin on our hands. Our cuticles split and our skin feels delicate. Here are some tips that might help you this winter.

After using a scrub to get rid of the dead skin you can rub cuticle oil into your nails and cuticles followed by a rich moisturiser. For added effect, if you put the bottle of oil into a mug of hot water for 10-20 seconds, the solution is more liquid and is better absorbed by your nails. 

Use a handcream with a low SPF in it, anything around 10-15. This adds a little protection from drying out and will reduce skin aging. Reapply every time after washing your hands thoroughly, a rinse won't remove the cream but a scrub will and they'll be vulnerable to drying once more.

If you have very dry skin it might be beneficial to use a hand mask at night to help the skin repair. Applying regular hand cream and wearing cotton gloves before sleep can have a similar effect if you don't have a hand mask at home.

Kube Studios: Toe and Heel Height

Kube Studios on Heels

We are a leading studio and agency with over 30 staff working with industry decision makers to get our models the best modelling jobs. Here at Kube Studios we overhear conversations about heels every day and thought we should cover some facts about what makes them comfortable, or not.

When you’re on set and wearing the same pair of heels for hours, it’s important to have the pair that’s right for you and your foot type. It goes without saying really, but they have to fit. Having one size too big or too small just doesn’t work when it comes to heels in modelling. 

Kube Studios

Tight fitting toe boxes can cause the tissue around a nerve between the third and fourth toes to thicken leading to pain and numbness and also even cause bone to grow around the big toe joint. This forces the big toe in the way making bunions.

The higher the heel is the more pressure there is on the front of the foot. This can cause pain and pushes your centre of gravity forwards. In the long term this can lead to alignment problems in the hips and spine. The altered positioning of body weight also puts additional force on the inner knee, causing long term problems.

Kube Studios Male Modelling Fitness

Male Modelling Workout

Here is a workout endorsed by Kube Studios especially for male models who want to look toned and healthy. This workout isn’t your everyday fitness workout that calls for 30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 reps on the bench press, this workout is designed for the guys who want a body like an world class fashion model.

Kube Studios

This workout guide not only covers what kind of training to do in the gym, but also gives diet suggestions and supplementation tips to help increase the effectiveness of the entire fitness model program.

The Abercrombie workout takes advantage of cutting edge research in fitness training, diet, and supplementation to deliver the best possible results in the shortest amount of time. The workout itself utilizes a combination of specialized workout routines and proper nutrition guidelines that lead to extremely high of  levels of hypertrophy and overall growth, while at the same time burning extra body fat. Due to high level of specialization the Abercrombie workout is extremely effective in building the same physique as the fitness models you see every day.

The problem with the majority of fitness routines is that they’re designed for either out of shape individuals who are trying to lose a few pounds or for the high school football player trying to put on as much size and strength as possible. You need to be strong to look strong. No one wants to put on 10 pounds of muscle if it comes along with 10 pounds of fat. Why, because all that muscle will be hidden and it will just make the individual even more out of shape. 

The key to building a physique that catches the attention of everyone at the beach is building solid level of muscle and then burning off the fat that covers it. In addition to this, the muscle has to be built in the right places. so the key to an appealing physique is not only size but also muscle symmetry. the first part of the Abercrombie workout focuses on losing body fat. You should be at 10% body fat before considering moving on to phase 2 which is muscle mass. 

During part 1 of the Abercrombie workout is not to build muscle. But instead to focus on increasing muscle tone without increasing the actual size of your muscles. If you are interested in male modelling or fitness modelling don’t give up, it can be a great career. Talk to Kube Studios today!
