Starting out
– Don`t get a portfolio done before you get an agent, most of the time this is a waist of money. Most agencies just want to see snapshots of you first to see how you naturally photograph. After you find an agent discuss your portfolio development with them
– Don`t pay a lot of money for modeling lessons. The agency should train you if they sign you up.
– Don`t Send only comp cards, duplicate photos,or headshots, and don’t expect to get them returned to you.
– Do take some photos. Make sure they are in focus and show both face and full-body shots. And don’t overlook some of your best features.
– Do practice, walking tall, walking in stilettos, posing. This will make it easier when you go to audition
– Do gather as much information as you can, speak with experienced models, talk with reputable agents, read books and magazines
– Once you become a model
– Don`t bitch. If you haven`t got anything good to say about someone don`t say anything.
– Don`t smoke. If you do smoke try giving up.
– Do get plenty of rest. Modeling is hard work and you are often on your feet all day. Try and have at least 7 hours sleep each night.
– Do keep fit. Do aerobics, try yoga or go swimming. It is important that you look after your body.
– Do keep your skin looking healthy. Drink plenty of water.
