Today I want to tell you how to become a model. I often work with models and I think that I can give some advice for beginner models. Before you start making a portfolio, get yourself in perfect shape. Try to lose weight, get a proper haircut and take care of your skin. Thus, you will become more self-confident and you will not have any complexes at photo shoots, which is very helpful for photographers and also for you to get the best possible result at photo shoots. You need to look at the poses, especially those that are popular now, because there is a fashion for this too. To do this, study fashion magazines. Also, you can find a model that you like with your types and copy it. why not it helps in the beginning.
Also pick up your wardrobe, try to buy clothes suitable for a photo shoot, try to look stylish and fashionable. Because not every photographer owns clothes or works with designers. Also, of course, you need to know how to do a make-up or find a make-up artist for photo shoots. always have a manicure and pedicure. Wherever you try to look 100% like a casting because you don't know who you might meet and try to be friendly and outgoing.
When you are ready for a photo shoot, you need to find Fashion photographers in your city and go to photo shoots as often as possible. You have two ways, it is to pay for a photo session or try to find photographers who will do a photo session for free for you. the higher the level of the model, the more likely it is to get a photo shoot from a more professional photographer. Even very famous photographers often take pictures of models who have attracted their attention with their appearance. You agree to any kind of photo sessions, regardless of your preferences. You need to have at least 30 photographs of different plans, full-length and half-length portraits, as well as in color and black and white. If you are focused on the result, then you will be in the portfolio of every photographer in your city and become a fairly well-known model in your city. Also if you are traveling try to find photographers in the city you are visiting. You can search for photographers on Instagram and Facebook. there are especially many fashion groups on Facebook where models are looking for photographers and vice versa.
once you have enough professional photos then you need to start posting them on every social media platform you can find. Send your photos in a model bank to the sites of the model and photographers of which there are a lot. I also recommend that you register on a cover site where you can find many fashion photographers and get published in magazines. Submit all photos from a photo shoot to magazines and don't forget to credit the photographer so you can build your portfolio from magazine publications. which is already a higher level for the model. On this site, directors of agencies and brands and magazines can see you. you can also send your portfolio to event organizations that hold various shows and exhibitions. also of course you can start working with fashion agencies. But do not rush to choose one agency, because often in agencies you sign a contract and you can no longer work with someone else, and it is also quite expensive. Often the agency is not very interested in promoting the model and this can take years. If only you are very lucky and you can immediately find a job.
Be sure to visit all the Fashion Shows in your city, for which you need to have business cards and a website. How to make a simple website I will record a video soon. these are the tips I can give you today and I really hope they will help you. I am also always open to collaborating and if you need a photo session, video business card, or individual consultation, we can always do it.
