Answer 1

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 2

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! on this subject because there is a possibility that the agent you contact will either rip you off or try to sell you on nude poses they will sell later.

First depending on your age, let your parents know of your plans.

Second If this "Agent " asks for money! WALK OUT. A true agent doesn't want or need your money.

Third call or e-mail the Editors of your popular magazines, they will be more then happy to tell you who they work with. The reason for this is that their manager base is always looking for talent. Then check your propective agent on the FBI or Local Law Office Website. It's a free service.

Last DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING until you let a Lawyer look it over.
It may cost a few dollars, but the cost is worth the peace of mind.

Last accept work only from clients respected by the industry. If you do land a gig overseas NEVER BUT NEVER give up your passport to no one not even your agent.

I am not going to say Good Luck only Think Before you act and be careful. Always let your parents know of your every move they are your safety line.

Answer 3

You really need to slow down here. First, it depends on your age. If you are a minor, then your parents have to be involved in this process. Secondly, there is a HUGE difference between a modeling agent and a music agent, and both get huge commissions. Third, do you have talent and that certain "look" that is popular today. It's often a quesiton of connections in the business, as well.

Answer 4

I believe that major media meccas like NYC, LA, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Austin, Memphis or New Orleans have large Yellow Page sections devoted to agents, and major agencies would be online, too.
The right one can make your career if you have talent, and the wrong ones can destroy anyone's future and/or rob you blind.

Answer 5

one style position, style mayhem, you're waiting to locate someone keen to take your %. on deviantart. you should make a touch huge attempt. unusual sufficient i'm searching for a nude style for the summer yet i'm attempting to circumvent having to pay for it. they are going to be my first nudes and that i'm not particular no matter if it truly is going to be solid and no matter if i am going to favor to flow on with it, so i do not particularly favor to make investments. i imagine many youthful photographers are in a lot an analogous difficulty so i might want to assert seem for experienced (not inevitably old) and quite regularly occurring people. Your most secure guess isn't to anticipate paid artwork till you've compiled a portfolio.

Answer 6

search through yellow pages...
and, if you live in australia:
-every year, there's a girlfriend (magazine) model search and the winner is offered a 2 year contract with a good modelling agency (cant remember which)
-there's an agency called bambini models or something but its 600 to join

Answer 7

Well it might help if you are pretty or have some talent.
