No particular poses. When you send your portfolio, they will look at your bone structure mostly anyway. If they approve of you, they will want you to come in and see how you "walk" etc. I was a model for a long time and I hated it. It isn't all it is cracked up to be. Also, be careful out there. There are a lot A LOT of shysters who pray on women's dreams of modeling. I never "wanted" to model, just kept getting offers from agencies and did it when I needed the money. But, I had friends that kept trying to get in the business, and people kept trying to scam them. Rule of thumb if an "agency" asks you for money for ANYTHING, they are not legitimate.

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.

. Was a model for four years. Only advice I can give you is be nice to those starting out because you meet them on the way down. Don't believe everything what is said to you. Learn how to walk properly. There is different kinds of modeling the cat walk or just photo shoots etc. Make sure you get plenty of photos for your portfolio, and try the best names in the business. Best of luck!

Don't raise your head too high becuz you could see into your nose. Know your body and the way it looks when you pose. Try to act like your character.
Oh and Indieboy, I want to be a model too, but in four more years anyway. So yeah I'm fourteen and About 5'9-5'11.
