How do you become a model?

Answer 1

You start by being anorexic or bulimic

Answer 2

I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.

I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.

However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.


Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.

Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.

Answer 3

Well first you have to be plastic. Then you get melted and injected into a mold in a factory in Japan.

Then you get stuck in a box with some poorly translation assembly instructions, a tube of glue and some decals that will rip the minute is water applied to them.

Next you end up in a model/toy store, where 13 year-old pimply boys will look covetously at you, trying to work out how many weeks allowance it will take to buy you,

Then you get taken home, poorly assembled and stuck on a shelf somewhere to collect dust, until the kid decides you would look way cooler if set ablaze.

That's how.

Or did you perhaps mean some other kind of model??

Answer 4

Well, to become a model you must be the right height, weight and have the right look(they're very picky) You've also got to have the right personality and attitude. Check out some agencies and take some pics to start a portfolio. I'm no expert but this is what I'm told. Good luck with modeling!

Answer 5

You can take model lession and when the people see you the will love you so the will give you a chance to model and if you do good maybe you would become a model.

Answer 6

You send off good photos (close up face and full body shot) to all the reputable (do your research) agencies. If they like you, then they will call you. You can also look up "real people" modelling agencies and contact them. They are not fussy about perfect looks since the models are not for fashion or beauty industry but background people for ads about banks, grocery stores, tech firms, etc. They can usually get you model work faster and can give you experience to start a portfilio with.

Answer 8

First you decide what kind of modeling you want to, do.
Or if you want to try,doing each kind. Second, you pay someone to take pics of you, and take those pics to a modeling agency or to any businesses that might need a model. Then you apply.

Answer 9

u could sign up 4 a contest or audition like miss teen usa. if u win, u have the option of becoming a model. good luck.

Answer 10

You start by entering in a contest, like one of those "miss teen" pagnets or whatever. My ex done that, and almost won, but got a modeling contract for it. They do cost a few hundred dollars though, but in the long run, if your "pretty" enough, you'll get plenty of offer's that will offset what you spent. Hope that helps.

Answer 11

well first you have to have the model-type physical stature...that is, at least 5'9'', skinny, etc. Then contact a modeling agency in your area and start modeling...
