Secret Tips


Tips

  • You may have higher chances to become a model if you have a pretty face. However, this is not a requirement; most models actualor models. Any skills you can add to your arsenal will only help your future career.
  • You can also enter modeling contests. However, make sure you check that these are being run by a reputable agency.
  • If, for whatever reason, you've decided signing with an agency isn't right for you, you could consider going freelance. But be warned: the pay is usually considerably less and there are fewer safety precautions.
  • Get your parents' permission if you're under the age defined by your country as being an adult.
  • Some modeling schools are licensed by the Board of Education. However, whether or not they will teach you how to become a model is questionable, and some agencies even say that attending a modeling school can teach you bad habits that are hard to unlearn! They are also expensive.
  • Get a website. It helps spread the word that you're out there and also serves as a place for your adoring fans.
  • Know your limits on style and nudity. If you don't want to do glamour work or are uncomfortable doing full nudity, speak up and don't let people push you past those limits. Also, consider where you want your career to go in the future. Sure, you may be comfortable doing glamour now, but what if you decide you want to do fashion or catalogue work in the future? You might be discriminated against if they know you have done this line of work.
  • Have a portfolio - it helps when bringing to clients. Go to a Go-SEE, and go- see the clients
  • It may also be worth your while to try sites that allow you to talk to experts in the modeling industry. These sites allow you to ask industry professionals questions and get the answers you want and many also provide additional services like photo and portfolio advice, as well as management contracts etc.
  • Be careful when signing contracts or releases. Some contracts may require you to model exclusively for a particular agency. A lot of releases (which are more like mini-contracts that are done for a single shoot), will emphasize the photographer's right to an image, saying that they may do whatever they wish, but don't mention the model's rights. It is your image they are using, and you have a say in what is done with pictures taken of you. Make sure to discuss this before signing anything.

7 tips to become supermodel


  • 1
    Choose a specialty. Most people assume that models must be tall, thin and attractive since this is often what is portrayed on television and in magazines. In reality models are needed of all different sizes, shapes and colors especially since more and more companies are opting to use “real” people in their advertisements. Depending upon your look and body type, you may find other specialties such as petite or plus size is a better fit than commercial or high fashion which uses a traditional supermodel look.

  • 2
    Care for your body. The most important asset you have is your body. Eating right and getting adequate exercise is key in keeping your body healthy and your overall appearance looking good. Nutrition and exercise doesn’t only affect your weight or the shape of your body, but they also can have an effect on your skin, hair and nails.

  • 3
    Develop a portfolio. Most models put together a portfolio they can share with agencies and prospective clients. You can develop your own portfolio by simply finding a photographer in your area that takes great photos. There should be a number of different pictures and poses in your portfolio. Make it that way so anyone can see a wide range of your skills and talents.

  • 4
    Attend modeling school. You don’t have to attend modeling school in order to become a supermodel, but many people do since this can help them achieve their dreams. Modeling schools aren’t guaranteed to provide modeling jobs or make you a supermodel, but they do provide knowledge about modeling and the industry. Many students also benefit as this provides them with more contacts in modeling which can lead to future jobs.

  • 5
    Sign with a modeling agency or representative. Allowing a modeling agency to represent you can be a great way to increase the number of jobs you have as well as advance you towards becoming a supermodel. Of course the thing to remember is that agencies to take a large percentage of what you are paid for your job, thus you may want to carefully assess whether or not it is right for you before you sign a contract.

  • 6
    Go to open calls. Regardless of whether or not you are managed by an agency, an open call can be the perfect opportunity for you. Not only can you land a gig, but you also may have the opportunity to get more work later on by impressing the person running the open call.

  • 7
    Take part in a go-see. The final step towards becoming a supermodel is to attend go-sees. These are opportunities for you to meet designers while they evaluate whether or not they want you in their runway show, catalog or more. Hopefully you do well at your go-see and book the job, which is one more step up the ladder towards becoming a supermodel.
