MAKE IT HAPPEN______________________________________________________ ____ The modeling industry is a fun and competitive industry. Here is some advice and warnings for prospective models.The first thing to keep in mind is that you should NEVER, EVER!, pay a modeling agency any money up front for them to represent you.There are too many scam artists in this industry who take advantage of people’s aspirations to become a model. Real modeling agencies will make their money through commissions they earn from finding their models work. __________________________________________________________PH OTOGRAPHYThis industry is based on pictures. If you are a model, pictures are how you or your agency advertises your product (you). But there is NO NEED to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on pictures. Beware of scam artists in the industry! When selecting outfits for a commercial portfolio shoot, be sure to follow these simple guidelines and you won't go wrong.• Solid colors. Absolutely no floral prints or patterns. • Make sure the clothing fits properly. Be realistic. Just because you like to wear your clothing tight doesn't mean that it looks good in a photograph that way. • No trendy or fashion-oriented outfits. A commercial portfolio is about personality and your ability to look and act like an attractive real person. • Be sure to have a good mix of colors and styles. An agency should not be able to tell what your favorite color of clothing is when they look at your book. • No jewelry!For head shots, also be sure to remember the following guidelines:• Avoid white and light pastel colors. • Avoid V-necks unless your photographer is proficient at photographing them properly. • Be sure that the top has shoulders • No spaghetti straps, tank tops, or sleeveless shirts._____________________________________________________ _____ MODELING SCHOOLSIn short you dont need them._______________________________________________________ ___ CONVENTIONSSimply Put, DON'T PAY MONEY TO ATTEND THEM!
