Hello,
I am contracted to shoot for a swimsuit and lingerie catalog and advertising material for a several beginning fashion designers that are pooling their resources. We have a model agent that helped select models for our shoot based on the garment size. It was important to have models with a good NATURAL body with a good hip to waist ratio. However all of our models have breast sizes around 34A to 36B. For some garments we need to have a more full figure on top around a full C cup or small D. Has anyone has any good experience with fixing this problem either with prosthetics (breast forms or enhancers) or digital plastic surgery (photoshop). Our models are costing us around $200-300/hr rate. They have waist sizes of 24-26 and have 34-36 chest. The agency has models with those sizes and larger (unnatural) breasts for $300+/hr. Does anyone have any suggestions? What would be a better solution, padding, breast forms, photoshop, spending more money for better models? We have a limited budget of 40 hrs of total model work for two to three days of shooting locally.
Any help would be great,
Adrian
