How to become a model

If your dream is to become a popular model, participate in high fashion shows, then you should be ready for what you have to work hard. And not only on shows, and above it first. What is worth knowing and where to start?

Model business is not just a huge work, it is titanic efforts to conquer agencies, fashion designers, film sites and camera lenses. Surchased models of units, and those who sometimes flashes on billboards, just a huge amount. Before you notice, you will have to get around a lot of agencies, get a bunch of failures, make a huge number of test photos, work on toasty during rehearsals. Many come from the distance at the very beginning of the road, and without waiting for the desired contract. Others are forced to work for 10-12 hours for a penny, just to notice them. So, you need to arm patience, perseverance, forces and even arrogance. At the same time, to remain outwardly calm and humble girls.

Analyze your data. A very important parameter is an increase that should be from 171 cm. Unfortunately, those who have less, it is unlikely to have the opportunity to show themselves on high fashion shows. As for the figure, the parameters 90-60-90 are still relevant. The chest should be small to take a visually not "weighting" shape. The most promising is the girls who started their career for another 14 years. It should be noted that, though gradually, but still fashion designers begin to leave the old canons. And it is rare someone who will surprise the top previously models for 50 years. For example, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer conquer the podium on the latest modes. And for advertising and showing collections of casual wear, they began to invite pysnes with weight for 70 kg. The main thing is the ability to present yourself and find your element. As for the hair, here almost all the fashion designers are unanimously voting for long, natural, well-groomed hair. Tattoos are not welcome, as well as non-heavy nails and soles.

Start learn English! If you plan to seriously do model business, then without him anywhere. After all, often models have to go abroad, work in other cities. Language knowledge will increase your chances among competitors.

Prepare a personal portfolio. It consists of two parts: snaps and professional photo session. Snaps are photos that are also called technical. You should be without makeup, the most natural, preferably in a swimsuit. 5-6 pictures are made, on which the profile is visible, front view and from behind in full growth, as well as portrait frames. Photo in a bathing suit will be shown all the advantages and disadvantages of the shape. Snaps cannot be processed, adjust or retouch, but you can "play" with emotions - angry, laugh, think. For snaps, you can make home shooting, just posing on a monophonic background. Photos from the photo shoot must be thematic. If you have no money to hire a professional photographer, then you can take part in free shooting on TFP terms. This option provides for the free work of the model and the photographer (often several models and photographers at once), and the received personnel will be used together. Find ads for filming on TFP terms is usually not difficult, there are many of them in thematic groups from social networks, and on photographers sites. The image can be both co-created and proposed by the photographer.

Conquer the agencies. Their list is simply huge, so there is always a chance to get into the hands of fraudsters. To avoid this, pay attention to all: the quality of their site, the availability of information on it, the possibility of learning in their school, the results of labor, the quality of the posted photos, reviews about them on the Internet. If there are doubts, it is better to give up cooperation than to get into the hands of fraudsters. Apply in conjunction with the portfolio immediately into several agencies to maximize your chances.
