You must take care of yourself physically and mentally in order to function in front of a lens for several hours or strut down a catwalk without stumbling. It’s very simple, the better you care for yourself, the better you will be as a model and a person. As a rule, I make my models eat before shoots and sometimes afterward if the shoot takes several hours. Personally, having a model eat healthy and avoid starving themselves are noticeably better in front of the lens.
Not eating before a shoot makes you cranky and tired. Eating before a shoot does not make you look fat!
