The profession of a model looks very attractive: traveling to different parts of the world, participating in fashion shows, glamorous parties and much more. You don't have to leave it in your dreams. If you wish, you can try yourself as a beginner model at any time.
Instructions
Step 1
Start looking after your appearance. Of course, the available figure parameters do not always correspond to the model ones. Nevertheless, try to get rid of those extra pounds and achieve a slim figure. Take care of your skin and use quality makeup. Develop your own style that's right for you.
Step 2
Make your personal portfolio. You can ask for help from a professional photographer or from friends who have a quality camera. Print your best shots and put them in your photo album. You can post them on a page in a social network or on your own website. Some agencies, producers and other media personalities are looking for aspiring models on the Internet.
Step 3
Send your portfolio and profile to various modeling agencies in your city or region. Participate in castings and contests that they periodically hold. You should also visit places where photographers and potential employers can pay attention to you: beauty contests, fashion shows, exhibitions and presentations. Look out for voting photo contests, which are often held in various groups on social media.
Step 4
Sign up for a modeling school or take special courses on introduction to the profession. Find out if there are such institutions in your city, and at what time they are recruiting. Studying in them does not guarantee getting a high-paying job in the best modeling agencies, but you will learn the intricacies of the profession, get the first experience in filming and learn how to make a professional portfolio.
Step 5
Chat with established models of your city. Usually these are young girls who will be happy to share their experiences with you. Find out how their career began, what mistakes to avoid, and what are the best things to look out for.
