Wear fitted clothes to allow the agency to see the basic shape of your body. If you are hoping to land swimsuit or lingerie gigs, you should include those photos as well. Play around with angles and poses to find your most flattering look to send to agencies.
Plan on a similar approach when attending open modeling calls; your clothes should be well-fitted and hair and makeup should be minimal. If you have prior modeling experience and have professional pictures from past jobs, those are great to include as well. However, if you are just getting started, it will probably be well worth the investment to spend the money on a professional photographer for the purpose of getting high-quality photos to submit to agencies.
From there, if you can afford to invest in quality, up-to-date photos each year it will be a huge benefit for you. There is more to modeling than just looking pretty in front of the camera. It is a business first and foremost, so it is critical that aspiring models treat it as such and approach it as they would any other job, with professionalism, grace and resilience.
There are many great benefits to being a model. It can truly be an amazing opportunity to do what you love, meet really great people — whether they are photographers, designers or fellow models — and explore cities all over the globe. Modeling can be physically, mentally and emotionally taxing. There can be a lot of competition between models since there are often a number of models all vying for the same, small pool of jobs.
This inevitably means a lot of rejection, which can be emotionally draining. It is important to develop a thick skin to protect yourself from the rejection you will face. Try not to take the rejections personally. They will happen. Companies hiring models for shoots and casting for shows have specific needs, and you may not fit what they are looking for on that particular day.
If you are able to embrace the realities of the business and stay persistent, it will not only benefit your career but also make you a stronger person. A person with a thick skin and strong sense of self-worth is in a good position mentally and emotionally to take on the modeling world.
But what about financially? Jobs early on in your career may be sparse and not pay you enough to help cover your rent, especially if you live in a major market.
