Do I need to have professional photos in my portfolio? |
|
| No. If you are an aspiring model looking to start a modeling career you do not need professional photos because, when agencies are scouting for models they have a standard guideline for what is called the ‘model mug shot’. They don’t want to see anything fancy, so just get your mother or a friend to take you a roll of film or just use a digital camera. When you start working as a model you will collect ‘tear sheets’ of photos from modeling jobs to put into your portfolio. If you spend money on professional photos before you are under contract with an agency you may be wasting your money. |

What photos should I use to build my online portfolio? |
|
You can upload up to 32 photos into your online portfolio and there is no need for professional photos. To start you only need 3 snapshot photos:
1) A close-up face shot: your portrait, your face should fill most of the frame of the photo. 2) A three quarters to the waist up. 3) A full-length picture with tight form fitting clothes that defines your body shape. The rest of the photos as you wish.
Tips for taking photos for modeling agencies to see:
• No makeup

• Wear a bathing suit
• Head shots and full body shots
• No posing
• Some shots with no smile and some with a smile
• Make sure you take the photos close-up

How does modeling work and why do I need an agency? |
|
| When clients need models for their advertising campaigns, they contact modeling agencies that provide them with potential candidates that match the style of the campaign. Most models are represented by a modeling agency. And models can even be represented by multiple agencies in different local markets. For example you may have one agency in New York and a different one in Miami or Paris. The role of an agent is to get you jobs and help you develop a profile that fits with the advertisers needs. An agency is like a matchmaker, with advertising clients on the one hand, and models on the other hand. Modelsnewface.com role is to increase your chances of success by helping you find agencies or photographers that will get you modeling work and/or an agency to start your modeling career.
