If you are between 14 and 25 years old and you have an attractive appearance, you can try to become a model. Experts recommend everyone who dreams of such a career not to hesitate, but to act actively.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, the girls themselves or model agents must identify the type of appearance of the future model. The determination of the specialization of the model is carried out according to the following parameters. Girls 16-22 years old, with a height of 175-180, wearing a clothing size of 40-42, having parameters 86-60-86, have a chance to become a catwalk model or a high fashion model - the most exclusive type of model. Natalia Vodianova, Cara Delevingne and Kate Moss are prominent representatives of this category, although the latter is only 169 cm tall.
Step 2
You don't have to be skinny to become a model. Over the past few years, plus size models have appeared on the covers of glossy magazines more often than their skinny counterparts. For plus size model, let's say height from 157 to 185 cm and clothing size up to 54. The most popular models in this category are Chloe Marshall, Crystal Rennes, Whitney Thompson.
Step 3
Lingerie models can only be girls from 21 years old with a slender athletic body and beautiful shapes. These models include Miranda Kerr, Candice Swanepoel, Andriana Lima. Glamorous models differ from lingerie models in that they work for a male audience, often filming half-naked. Naturally, such a model must be of legal age.
Step 4
Girls 14-17 years old begin a career as a teenage model, which then develops into a career on the podium. In addition, at any age there is an opportunity to become a part model - a girl demonstrating any, the most successful, part of the body. For example, hands, eyes, lips, etc. Some models even insure their limbs, buttocks or breasts if they are their main source of income. So did Gemma Howorth, who insured her hands for $ 5 million.
Step 5
If the definition of the specialization of the model has puzzled you, it is worth contacting a modeling agency, which will help you. It is necessary to choose only large agencies with a good reputation and extensive work experience. Otherwise, there is a risk of being at the mercy of scammers.
Step 6
Experts are confident that in order to become a model, it is not at all necessary to graduate from a specialized school or courses. Many famous models are nuggets. As a last resort, the agency will tell you if the girl needs training.
Step 7
The most important question is how to make a portfolio. It is almost impossible to start a modeling career without him. Do not show agents a bunch of similar photos. First you need to select at least 5-6 of the most successful multi-faceted images.
Step 8
An experienced photographer can professionally answer the question of how to make a portfolio. If a girl does not have the opportunity to pay for his services, but the agency is interested in her, she can arrange a free photo session.
Step 9
You should start your visit to the agency by filling out a questionnaire on the website. When going to a casting, you don't need to do an incredible hairstyle and combat makeup. Agents are more likely to appreciate the natural appearance, emphasized by a minimal amount of makeup, and the personality of the girl, than the work of hairdressers and makeup artists. Naturally, you need to dress in such a way as to emphasize the figure.
