At Genelation Studios, we create professional photoshoots designed to help models grow — in confidence, experience, and exposure.

Our shoots give both new and experienced models the opportunity to work in a real creative environment with direction, styling, and professional photography. Every shoot is built around one idea: helping you become the best version of yourself in front of the camera.

What We Do

We host creative, high-quality photoshoots that give models access to professional photographers, studio setups, editing, and creative direction — all in one experience.

Our focus is to make modeling more accessible while maintaining professional standards. We believe that with the right guidance, everyone has the potential to create powerful visuals and grow their brand.

Each shoot helps models build their confidence, improve posing skills, and gain material they can use to attract real opportunities in the industry.

What Models Get and Benefit From

Every model who joins our shoots receives far more than just photos. We’ve designed our system to create real value and lasting benefits:

1. Professional Photos & Editing

High-quality, professionally edited photos for your portfolio, social media, and agency applications.

2. Creative Direction & Posing Guidance

We guide every model throughout the shoot — helping you pose, express emotion, and bring out your personality on camera.

3. Confidence & On-Camera Experience

Every shoot helps you feel more confident and natural in front of the camera. You’ll learn how to move, pose, and express yourself like a professional.

4. Personal Brand Growth

You’ll have professional content to post and promote yourself with — helping you build an audience, attract collaborations, and present yourself as a professional model or influencer.

5. Exposure & Features

We feature our models on our brand platforms and campaigns, giving you visibility to new audiences, creatives, and brands that may want to work with you in the future.

6. Networking Opportunities

Our shoots bring together photographers, models, stylists, and creative directors — creating real opportunities to connect and collaborate.

7. Future Paid Brand Work

Models who stand out may be considered for future paid collaborations or campaigns with our brand and other partnered brands. This gives you the chance to turn your exposure and experience into paid opportunities.

8. Professional Environment & Portfolio Experience

You get to experience what it’s like to be on a professional shoot — learning how creative teams work and what’s expected in the modeling industry.

9. Support & Growth

We care about our models’ growth. Our team provides feedback, encouragement, and future opportunities for those who show passion and dedication.

Why We Do This

We created this platform to give talented individuals a fair and creative way to start modeling, gain experience, and be seen. Many people want to model but don’t have access to photographers, studios, or creative teams — we built this to change that.

Our goal isn’t profit. It’s to create opportunity. The models benefit far more than we do — they gain content, confidence, and connections that can help them grow in real ways.

For us, this is about creativity, collaboration, and helping people believe in their potential.

The Real Value

If a model tried to do the same thing on their own, it would cost:

• Photographer: R1 000 – R2 500 per hour
• Studio hire: R400 – R800 per hour
• Editing and retouching: R500 – R1 000
• Creative direction or styling: R500 – R1 000
• Transport, makeup, and outfits: R300 – R800

That’s R2 500 to R5 000 or more for a single shoot — without any exposure or brand connection.

Our system provides all of this for a little to none of that cost, while giving you real creative exposure, community, and growth potential.

The Bigger Picture

We’ve seen models arrive nervous and leave inspired — confident, proud, and ready to take their next step. That’s what our shoots are about.

This isn’t just a photoshoot. It’s a space to grow, learn, and transform your potential into opportunity.

At Genelation Studios, we don’t just take pictures — we build confidence, careers, and creative stories
