19/03/12 14:51
The weeks public vote has now finished. The votes have been counted and verified and we are excited to announce the winner of our Northamptonshire’s Next Teen Model 2012 is -
Contestant No. 10 - POLLY
The voting this year was fantastic and went to the wire. The first 24 hours of voting saw Polly ahead by 38 votes. Thereafter the top three positions continually changed between four girls, with Polly only regaining the first spot late on Sunday evening, finally winning by 16 votes. A huge WELL DONE to all of the contestants, all of whom were a delight to work with, unfortunately only one could win the first prize.
Polly was strong throughout her 30 minute shoot showing as solid technique and some confidence in her posing. Having said that, the image that Polly chose to be entered into the competition isn’t overly posy, just beautifully lit, creating a striking natural shot. Can’t wait to get Polly back into the studio for her 2 hour make-over fashion shoot, Sarah (my wife and our professional hairdresser and makeup artist) already has some great ideas for some styling options that will work well with Polly’s look. Here are some of Polly’s best bits from the 30 minute shoot, just imagine what we can achieve in 2 hours !!

Back in February this year we ran our first Northamptonshire’s Next Teen Model competition for girls aged between 13 & 16. One of the contestants was Charlie from Corby, who we have previously blogged about when she decided to pursue a professional career as a model.

Northamptonshire's NTM Winner - 2 hour Makeover Fashion Shoot
26/05/11 13:08
Our NTM winner, Lauren, has returned to the studio for her 2 hour Make-over & Fashion Shoot.
Lauren has a lovely complexion (the benefits of being young hey girls !!) so Sarah, our beautician & hair stylist, didn’t want to go overboard with the make-over, keeping the look very natural and sympathetic to Lauren’s look.
With the hair we planned three styles, the first being soft curls to give the hair some body and shape, the second was to pull the hair to one side in a messy bun and lastly the edgy ruffed up look. Lauren thoroughly enjoyed all of the pampering, and lets face it, what girl doesn’t.
Over the two hours we altered the look and style of the shots to give Lauren as much variation as we could within the timescale by utilising our hi-key white background and wall, low-key black background and our Storm Grey feature wall. These three styles, with the addition of our secret weapon - the 6ft mirror, allowed us to produce some stunning imagery to create Lauren’s portfolio.
We will now design the artwork for the Bellissimo Portfolio which will contain approx 25-30 images. Once Lauren is happy with the artwork we will order the portfolio which will take 10 days to be delivered. I am sure Lauren will be over-the-moon with end product, a keepsake for her to cherish forever. Here is a small sample of the shots to give you an idea of the type and quality of the images that we produce.
Next Teen Model News - Good Luck Charlie
13/04/11 10:50
Charlie entered our Northamptonshire’s Next Teen Model competition that we ran in February.
From the off Charlie was clearly very comfortable in front of the camera, with the rare ability of being able to look straight down the lens without any inhibitions - not as easy as it sounds. Initially Charlie took direction very well, but once I realised that she was capable of finding her own poses I backed off a little to let her express herself. Charlie really enjoyed the experience and since entering the competition we are all very excited that she has decided to explore the possibilities of modelling professionally. With a test shoot and an interview organised with two different agencies, Charlie and her Mum are understandably bubbling over with excitement. You must be prepared for lots of knock backs in the industry, but we have our fingers crossed for you Charlie!! We thought she took some lovely shots, here are some of our favourites, what do you think?
Good luck Charlie from everyone at ASC Photography Solutions, you never know we may have uncovered a star?

Northamptonshire’s Next Teen Model Winner - Lauren
The votes have been counted and verified, and we are pleased to announce that the winner of the Northamptonshire’s Next Teen Model competition 2011 is Lauren.
From the forty six contestants, from throughout Northamptonshire, Lauren was one of 20 that made it through to the public vote. The public voted for their favourite contestants over a week with Lauren emerging victorious. Awaiting Lauren is a 2 hour fashion shoot in our studio, including hair & makeup and one of our 10”x14” Bellissimo Portfolio Albums - a stunning prize worth £500.
This is the first year we have run the competition. We were unsure of what we had let ourselves in for but we must say how impressed we were with all of the contestants. Teenagers get a bad press, but this was not our experience, each and every one of them should be very proud of themselves. Every contestant conducted themselves admirably throughout the studio sessions, even to the point of contestants voting for each other in the public vote. Well done all of you.
Congratulations Lauren, we will be contacting you shortly to organise your prize.
