Choose a
market:
The main
markets are for catwalk, plus-size, commercial, and
swimsuit/lingerie models. Choosing the one that you are most
suitable for will have a major effect on your success. At http://www.studiomango.co.uk we can help
with all styles.
Catwalk models
are at least 5’8″ and quite
thin. Plus size models are usually about the same height but most wear
over a size 10. Commercial models can be a little shorter and of different body
types. Swimsuit/lingerie models often have larger chests with smaller
waists.
Create a
portfolio:
It is
important to build up a portfolio if you are really keen to start a modelling
career, as it’s the first thing casting agents, brands or designers look at and
it includes pictures and all the past work so that will determine if they want
to work with you.
It doesn’t
matter if you will do unpaid shoots (especially in the beginning), just as long
as you will expand your images portfolio and you will give the idea you’re
working hard on your future dream career. We http://www.studiomango.co.uk can arrange a
siting with one of our friendly professional photographers.
Submit your
photos:
Research,
research, research. You have to find the agencies you are interested in,
in the first place, and then you will have a complete list of your favourite
picks and from then just the ones that you liked will reply.
Then check out
the agencies’ websites and make sure you find out how they prefer you to submit
your portfolio. If you follow their rules, they will very much appreciated it.
Many agencies
have open casting calls, which are an awesome opportunity for aspiring
models. At an open call, models bring in their portfolios and meet with casting
agents http://www.studiomango.co.uk can supply
you with details during your shoot with us.
Look
for Experience:
Some
colleges have modelling clubs where aspiring models share information
about castings they’ve heard of and give each other tips on everything from how
to photograph well to what to wear to a go-see.
Through
Facebook, you can join modelling groups where you can find other aspiring
models like you and have meetings, sharing experiences.
Keep social
media platforms:
One thing you
might want to do is keep many social media profiles, which will be a way to
reach different kind of people interested in you. This will raise the bar and
give you more exposure and contacts.
Also, it’s
great if you can feature behind the scenes of your shoots or just you lazing
around town, on platforms like Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. If you want to
add a more personal touch, start to upload some videos on Youtube. Follow all
our social media accounts; these can be viewed by going to.
