Nonetheless, there is another side to the coin. Often, models have to spend a considerable amount of time on their feet, actively
posing for 8-10 hours a day. Additionally, winter collections are typically shot in the summer, and summer collections in the winter. If the shoot isn't in a studio, imagine spending such an amount of time in a winter coat under the scorching sun or shooting a swimwear line by the sea in 10-degree weather. Also, it's important to remember that China has a different culture with its own customs, traditions, and even cuisine. Sometimes, models bring familiar products, such as buckwheat, to ease the transition to local cuisine. For photo shoots, I recommend bringing containers of homemade food, as photo sessions demand a great deal of energy, and during breaks, replenishing with nutritious meals is preferable to relying on provided sweets and snacks, which can adversely affect one's well-being, weight, and skin condition. Models must be acutely aware that the responsibility for their health rests solely on their shoulders. I also recommend bringing your own makeup brushes and thoroughly cleaning your face after shoots, as makeup artists often inadequately cleanse their brushes, which can lead to skin issues.
In summary, I can affirm that China provides an excellent platform for earning, gaining experience, and preparing for further career
development. However, adequate preparation is crucial to avoid potential downsides of working in this region.
