Draft Text of Intro – Beauty Capture Contest Page

What we experienced in Alicante on the last weekend of September 2024 was magical.

The founding event of the Bmodel modeling agency brought together 3 photographers and 7 models for a beauty contest, with a mission: to bring beauty back into our lives.

Selected over the course of two years, these 10 people managed to turn every moment into a living painting.

The golden sun illuminated the city, the sea breeze caressed our faces, and the atmosphere seemed to suspend time, offering us a moment where everything else faded away.

The result lives up to the moment: 63 photos capturing the bond of people who felt like old friends from another life.

That’s the magic of beauty. It unites. It transforms. It inspires. It gives meaning.

Some oppose beauty to usefulness, dismissing these “captured” life moments as meaningless, but I believe that beauty is deeply necessary, especially in times when the superfluous, the accessory, the seemingly useless are cast aside in the name of reason, when they are the very essence of our lives.

Every breath around us pushes us to seek absolute “accountable” returns, the kind that allows us to say we have more than the neighbor… or less than we hoped. But this endless race towards an ideal imposed by others takes us away from what is essential: what we feel here and now, together.

Bmodel’s mission is to give its friends, actors, or visitors of our photos or videos the certainty that the present moment, built around beauty, has a positive impact now and forever; that the memories we create together will stay with us long after those few minutes in front of the camera.

These photos speak because they capture life, the kind where time stops to share the joy of existing here and now.
