You need to demonstrate your modeling ability. You loose image quality when you upload images wider than 800 pixels. MM resizes them and generally quality is lost. Terribly out of focus: Bad, really bad: Rotate these images properly: Too much blank space at the top: Fingers cut off: I love this dress: Dec 14 20 07:58 am Link I'm with the others, need to show some semi-pro work at least. From the aspects of the images, these are all cell phone shots, not a good start. The posted photos look like vacation/family/boyfriend/selfie shots. You have a casting call out for a paid shoot, probably better start with a few trades for a while. If you are serious about getting into modeling you may consider hiring a professional or at least a semi-pro photographer to get a boost. Dec 14 20 09:25 am Link Thank you so much! Making those changes...so more professional pictures and less selfies....

What kind of modeling work do you expect people will pay you to do and you will want to do? Get photos that will move you in that direction.

On-camera flashes often throw weird shadows on backgrounds. Dec 16 20 06:08 am Link Do a Browse of models with your characteristics I suggest using New York, NY with at least a 25 mile radius to get a good sampling. Look at all of them so you get a feel for what good lighting, color balance (especially for dark skin), composition and posing should be. I used Black, Hispanic, Other and No Answer categories to get darker skinned models. Lighting, backgrounds will be different for blond caucasians unless the photographer really knows what they are doing. You have only one measurement in your stats. That doesn't make sense if you want to model clothes. Saying that you will only do paid shoots with you present portfolio is unrealistic. Right now, TFP is your friend. It has it's downsides, but it will give you practice and possibly some very nice photos. Speaking of "right now", you should only shoot with photogs who have longer lenses so that they can keep their distance - 70-85mm at a minimum. I was going to do a shoot recently with a model until she told me she was quarantining and then after quarantine told me she "felt ok" so she was safe. I suggested that she get tested. Have not heard back. Do outdoor shoots for now and keep your distance. Good luck and have fun. By the way, all of the advice above mine is good advice. Dec 22 20 08:23 am Link You should start over - Rewrite your profile to clearly define what type of model you are. What you are available for and why you should be hired. Work to ensure the 4 images you have posted reflect the type of work you do and your range. Head, body, lingerie/swimwear, etc. The most professional images you have. As pointed out above, you don't have them yet and need to find someone talented to get them for you. Make sure your measurements are right as well as the details for the genre's you are willing to work in. Feb 21 21 06:15 pm Link |
