Because we don’t all have Tyra Banks guiding us along the way. After sharing behind-the-scenes secrets from this season of Top Model , Don Benjamin, Chris Schellenger, Mike Scocozza, and Marvin Cortes gave us tips on finding the light, cheating your face, and smizing.
Cheat your face.
"Say I’m holding a book trying to make it look like I’m reading, I’ll hold a book up so you can see the cover, and then I’ll act like I’m looking at the words, but I’ll cheat my face a little bit towards the camera, to where it looks like my eyes are still on the book but you can see my full facial features." - Don Benjamin

Get lost in the moment.
"I try to channel myself sipping a nice cup of Folger’s coffee in the morning. Or Dunkin Donuts. ... Modeling is like telling a story but through a photo. It’s like, whatever you can do to capture that feeling in a picture is cool." - Mike Scocozza

Be comfortable with your body.
"You gotta be comfortable with your body. Luckily I’ve been in the gym. ... With a towel, you want to make sure the logo is shown while your abs or your arms are being shown, too, so you’re selling a little bit of sex appeal along with the logo." - Don Benjamin

Find your light.
"You’ve got to find the light. It’s tough when we’re inside a building with not that much light, but you’ve really got to find the light. That’s your job." - Mike Scocozza
