Five Steps to a Fashion Modeling Career

Have You Got the Right Attitude to be a Model - By: jimmy carter


There are millions of beautiful, young people that have the pre-requisites and desire to get into modeling, however only a very small percentage succeed. You may be wondering why and the answer to that is they just don't have the right attitude.

In order to become a successful model you will also need to have all of the following:

Determination:
Breaking into the modeling world can be very disheartening as you will face many setbacks along the way. You need to be prepared to be rejected many times before you get someone who is interested and this takes a certain type of character. You need to be determined and to keep going, most young people do not have this determination and simply give up before they make it.

Professionalism:
It is important to remember that modeling is a business and it should be treated as such. The photographers, agents, casting directors are all working to make a profit and they need a model they can rely on. You could be the most beautiful person in the world but you will struggle to get repeat work if you turn up late, don't show up or are not prepared for your job.

Good Work Ethic:
Models with experience will testify to the fact that they very rarely have a steady stream of work. The best way to handle this is to focus on promoting yourself focusing on your strong points and you will quickly find you can bring in some work.

Imagination:
Remember that the way you get work is to market yourself to others and as with any other form of marketing, find your niche. Work out what makes you individual and focus on that. Put a lot of effort into putting your portfolio together and use your most striking, unique images to advertise yourself.

Networking Skills:
All good business people create networks of clients that are constantly growing. Actors, actresses and models are no different. You need to find ways to reach potential clients and generate more work and more clients from referrals and other network techniques. Of the clients you work with, ask them for referrals to other opportunities for you. And if a client was referred to you, always let them know who referred them. The common networking rule of thumb is that for every satisfied client you have they, in turn, will tell 2-5 others about you, but for every dissatisfied client, 10 potential new clients will hear the bad news. Never burn your bridges with clients. You may not want to work with them anymore, and that is fine, but never, never be rude or unprofessional. Always make it a goal to either work a number of times with a client or get referrals to others from them. Work makes work in this business.

Discipline:
Be prepared for work. Develop the discipline to keep your valuable assets, (smile, face, figure, or whatever else you model), in good shape. Have your portfolio ready when you get a go-see, (interview or test shoot), and have your promotional materials, (head shots, z-cards, and CVs), ready for any potential interview or marketing opportunity. This chance may not come around again.

Persistence:
Successful models are made, not born. They work at all aspects of what they do and they do not stop because of a few setbacks. They are determined to accomplish a goal and they are not easily stopped by petty excuses or fears of the unknown.

A Plan of Action:
Successful models have a direction, a plan of action. They set goals for their portfolio, their resume, their network of potential clients and the part of the market they want to work in, and they plan a way to achieve those goals.

Teen Models and Child Models - By: michaell taylor


Are you considering working with child models and teen models? If you are, you will need to consider a few things before you get started. What sort of things will you need to think over before you begin? Modeling, while it appears to be easy from the outside is actually a skill that must be learned before it can be done professionally and this is especially true of child models. You’ll need to keep this in mind as you write out the sort of traits you’d like to find in the models you work with. This means that you will have to consider whether the extra effort is worth having teen models and child models to work with.

Why is this likely to be more work? While some models are experienced enough to have a small career established, most teen models and child models are generally new to the world of modeling and need you to be more patient. Being new means that you will have to make flexible deadline schedules, provide more direction, allow for longer and more frequent breaks, and from time to time in the case of child models, and write off a day or two where no amount of direction seems to get you the work you are hoping for.

Child models and teen models also tend to have more people that manage their care than most adult models do. This will often be the model’s parent or parents and (if the child’s guardian isn’t their agent), some sort of representative to manage the pay and care of the child or teen while they’re working with you. This often means having multiple interview sessions to determine which models suit what you are looking for. You can avoid this added headache if you use an online modeling database instead.

Online modeling databases list several models, managers and photographers who are in the industry and looking for work. Using these sites is relatively easy and costs only a nominal fee for monthly or yearly access to several modeling profiles and messaging. This means you can do a simple search for topics like age group, height, and ethnicity and get several returns that you may be interested in. This way you can consider a model on their posted work experience, the type of work they’ve done, and the appearance criteria they offer on their profile before you even talk to them.

By using a database you save time and effort you might otherwise have spent on teen models and child models who didn’t meet your criteria in the first place. In this way the patience you offer is far less tested and you can feel confident of the model you’ve chosen. As with any modeling job you’ll have to deal with a few ups and downs but the wasted effort is far less here. Taking the time to fill out a complete profile on the database for yourself takes a minimum of effort and the monetary cost is also low. This is a great way to save both you and your potential models in the long run.
