Hello everyone and thank you in advance for stopping to read and possibly help me out. I've done a diverse amount of work from fashion, beauty, portraiture, artistic and others. I just am not sure with my stats and with what I have done so far, what the right career path for me would be. In your own personal opinion what area of modeling do you you think I should work more on and stick with? And if you have any other critiques for me, feel free to add those in.

Your height is an issue and limiting, but you're not in a major market competing with a million amazons, so you should be able to find work. Add at least one current no-makeup, hair back, white undershirt, limited retouching, just sort of clean shot to your MM portfolio so photographers can see what you really look like. It doesn't have to show you as perfect, it just needs to be real. If you don't have an agent, just start doing your homework and then hit the pavement. Who is advertising in the local newspaper or in local magazines and using models who look like you? Who are the top local commercial photographers? Drop off your headshot, shake hands, make contact.

But, are there many agencies whose main focus is commercial print? I've looked up some online and so far every agency has a height standard of 5'7" for my age range. If you know of any, could you tell me the names and such so I have something more to go on? That would be wonderful. Also, I have an editorial shoot on Thursday so maybe I could ask her to take a couple clean headshots for me. Thanks for the great advice!

If you want it, you have to work for it. Get out there and smile. Be the only model a business owner knows, and when they need one they'll call you. Build your own Rolodex, don't wait for a local agent to deign to use theirs for you. Just make sure you are giving out business contact info and not your home number or personal email. You don't want stalkers (I assume). Jan 12 10 10:48 pm Link |
