TIPS AND TRICKS
Here are some tips and tricks that can help you in your journey of becoming a professional model. There is no doubt that a modelling career is both exciting and glamorous. However, it should be known that not everyone who desires to be a world-famous model will become one. First of all make sure that you do not allow friends and relatives to make you feel discouraged about your new career. There are a lot of people who just simply like to make negative comments. They will tell you that a modelling career has all kinds of pitfalls and that you will become a puppet to fashion designers, photographers, and event planners. While something like this can happen occasionally, it is a very rare occurrence and will likely not happen to you if you follow this guide. • One of the first things that you should be aware of is your releases and contracts. You need to have someone who is knowledgeable about contracts, such as a lawyer or an agent. Make sure they go over every single detail. There are certain contracts that will only allow you to be exclusive for one particular modelling agency. This will hinder you from working as a freelancer whenever you have the opportunity. This is not a bad thing but you just need to be aware of it. OATS • Make sure that your contract includes a clause that allows you to determine what happens with all of your photographs. This will be more beneficial if you ever become famous and your earlier photographs become desirable. There are also clauses that need to be considered about what type of modelling jobs you will be available for. A contract might state that you are available to model nude and if you are against this you need to make sure that it is spelled out explicitly in your contract. • There will be many modelling jobs that you apply for but may not get. This is especially true in the beginning of your modelling career. The important thing is not to feel rejected if you do not get a particular modelling job. Always be confident in yourself and this will show in your attitude. You may not get the job this time but your desire will help improve your chances to get the next one. • Do not let photographers and agents push you beyond your limits. You will need to have plenty of rest and proper nutrition if you are going to maintain a career in modelling. The reason why this is important is because there will be many opportunities to attend parties. While attending some of these parties is great for networking, you do not want to get into the habit of staying up late or drinking too much alcohol. OATS • Once again, it is important for you to let your agent know exactly what type of modelling jobs you are available for. If you do not do this your agent may sign you up to modelling jobs that you prefer not to do. If you agreed to a modelling job that included nudity it may be detrimental to any future modelling jobs that you have in the fashion industry. Therefore, always make sure that you personally know exactly what the contract says and what the limits are. • There are many ways for you to become a model. There are many modelling agencies that will teach you the tricks of the trade. Make sure that you choose a modelling agency that has a good reputation. There will be additional costs when you start your career as a model such as your portfolio, the clothes you need to purchase and your means of transportation. • Some models have begun their careers by entering various modelling contests. There are many modelling contests throughout the world that allow you to learn your trade. However, you must make sure that these modelling contests are run by an agency that is reputable. There are many famous models who have begun their modelling careers this way. OATS • When it comes to a modelling school you must make sure that it has a good reputation. The reason for this is that there are certain modelling schools that will tell you everything you want to hear so that they can charge you an expensive tuition. However, when you finish their course you will have learned more bad habits than good ones. Always check out the credentials of the school before you sign up. • One of the most important things that you need to know about becoming a model is that you will need your parent’s permission if you are under a certain age. This will be different from country to country. Do not under any circumstances lie about your age because it can come back to haunt you in the future. • There are certain types of clothing you will want to wear when auditioning for a modelling job. For example, if you are a female model you will want to wear outfits that will not leave marks on your skin. Therefore, make sure that you do not have outfits that have tight straps. Also, it might be better not to wear a bra sometimes. For your underwear you should wear a thong that is the same colour as your skin tone. OATS • You will have a choice when you start your modelling career to either sign with an agency or to go freelance. When you go freelance you will need to be more aggressive and assertive when auditioning for various modelling jobs. The advantage of going with an agency is that they can provide you with detailed instructions on what to do, what to wear and how to act. • As mentioned earlier, a modelling career is both exciting and glamorous. As a professional model you will be able to make a good salary, where fabulous clothes, and travel the world. Therefore, if it is your dream to become a professional model, simply go for it.
