Your Advice about Modeling

Hi,

By now you know how much I love giving good advice to models, don’t you?

Now It’s YOUR TURN!!!

I’ve been thinking about some new ideas and thought that maybe the best place to come up with fresh thoughts about modeling is from you. You are the model working in the field everyday and sometimes see things from a different perspective than an old photographer like me so I’d love to hear your thoughts.

And, don’t think because you are new that you don’t have anything to contribute. You do!!

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

- What’s the best way you’ve found to contact an agency?
- Should you ever use an agency or practice as a freelance model?
- How did an agency interview go and what would you have done different?
- What types of modeling do you find most enjoyable? Easiest? Most profitable?
- How did you learn (or are learning) to model? classes? photographers? agencies?
- What is the one most important piece of advice you’d give to a new model?
- What is the biggest No-No in modeling
- How many photos do you have in your portfolio?
- How many photos do you need in your portfolio?
- How many photographers did you work with before you “got it”?
- What books or magazines would you reccommend to models?
- Have you found body or facial blemishes to be a hinderence in modeling?
- Have you found body weight or height to be a problem or asset?
- What type modeling have you done? runway? catalog? fashion? glamour? parts? plus-size? lifestyle and stock? advertising? Give your best advice on any type modeling and the downside.

There are many other bits and pieces of advice that new models would love to know. Anything you can think of will be of great help to someone else.

Together, we can create a community that we can be proud of.

Remember Yoda from Star Wars? He said, “Give, then take.”

A good rule for all.
