Bogus Agencies Because modeling agencies have classified themselves as management companies rather than talent agencies, they escape licensing requirements, caps on commissions, and other requirements that would safeguard their talent. Still, some agencies are better than others. Be sure to visit an agency’s website to see if they represent any recognizable faces, and ask to speak with models on their roster to gauge their experience of working through that agency. Bogus Agency Contracts Most agency contracts are one-sided in favor of the agency, not the model. Do not sign an agency contract without first getting the advice of a lawyer, and know that the terms of an agency contract are negotiable. A legitimate agency will give you adequate time to review the contract with an attorney and offer any proposed changes before you decide whether to sign with them.

Sexual harassment and abuse at work is also of concern to many models. Backstage at fashion shows and at photo shoots, models are often expected to change in full view of photographers, stylists, assistants, and anyone else who may happen to be present. Nearly all models have experienced a "surprise" nude shoot or casting. A sizable minority of working models have experienced sexual harassment on the job. Few models told their agencies about it, perhaps because of the fact that of the models who did, two-thirds found that their agents didn't see the problem. Models even reported that their agents encouraged them to sleep with their harassers to help their careers.

For the overwhelming majority of models who are not born and raised in New York, starting a career means moving to a new city, or even a foreign country, where their families may not be financially able to accompany them. The models we surveyed shared several common concerns about their health on the job. Perhaps unsurprisingly, nearly two-thirds of models have been pressured to lose weight by their agencies. Eating disorders are not uncommon. Models report that drug use in the workplace is rampant. And more than two-thirds of models say they suffer from anxiety or depression. Given that agencies and clients consider models to be independent contractors, rather than employees, many of our survey subjects lack health insurance coverage. And given our survey sample skewed in favor of older, more established and financially stable models, it's safe to say that among younger models and foreign models, the rate of insurance coverage is even lower.

The model must-have check list: what's in the model's bag? Hey Girls, While at my shoot last week for a healthcare catalog where I modeled shoes, I was reminded of the importance of having a nice handbag. When you have a modeling job you will be told what it’s for, what to bring and the basics of the job, but it is always smart to bring some extras. Carrying this handbag all the time will also make your arms tone, so there is a plus to the hustle and bustle involved with being a striving model. My top ten things to have for castings and modeling jobs. The model necessities, which include and are not limited to: 1. A BIG bag. One that she doesn't mind spilling nail polish remover on or anything.

(These are good to have for castings involving shoes and legs, you don’t want to sock marks on your a...
