I'm serious about it too, and I want to try it!. People think I'm attractive too, so I have that factor!. I'm 14 years old, 5'8 and still growing a lot!. I weigh about 106 lbs and I have a small frame!. I'm just naturally thin and small!.
How do I start making a portfolio!? Do I have to have one to sign up with an agency!? Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: To start out as a model and to get you photographes to a modeling or talent agency you will need a few snapshots!. l head shot, l body shot, l 3/4 shot and they do not have to be professional photos!. Submit photos to agencies, call the local modeling and talent agencies in you area, email photos to the modeling agency women's board, send photos in postal mail if they have an open call - when they see new faces at the agency then plan to go to it and have the agents meet with you in person always include you height, age, sizes, phone, if you go to school and email address!. If the agency is interested in you they will get in contact with you from one of the contact numbers or email you sent to them!. you can check in with the agency after a few weeks and see if they received your photos - remember they see hundreds of photos so they may not remember who you are unless they would like to meet with you at an open call at the agency!. If you are accepted by a modeling agency then you will need to have professional photos taken and start a portfolio or as it is known in the business a book!. If the agency calls you in to meet with them you will take one or both of your parents with you to the meeting!. the agents will discuss their policy and how they work with you and your parents and decided if the fit is going to be right for both the model and the agency!. Once you have a few professional photos the agency will start to send you out on auditions or castings to meet with potential clients!. It takes a lot of work to become a working model by working model I mean getting paid for jobs or bookings!. You must have a good look, good healthy body, great smile, lots of energy and a winning personality!. There is much competition to work as a model good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com to get some good professional photos for FREE to start you off, you should set up an account on model mayhem!. post good clear pics of yourself and make friends, specifically with photographers!. there are many talented artists out there (aka college students, recreational artists) who cant afford to pay you and will give you copies of the prints for your time!. this will also give you experience! be wary of your photographer though!. there are plenty of guys looking to take advantage of young girls getting started!. since you are underage you will need to take a parent/guardian with you anyway, since they will have to sign your image release form!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Mz Anymous says it all Here's a list of to agencies where you may want to start http://models!.com/agencies/top/Www@QuestionHome@Com |
