Please help me anyone!!! Thank u so much in advance! Photographers particularly!?

Question

I've been given the chance to be signed up by a really good modelling company for women with curves. What they've asked me to do is to submit a final "full length photo of you smiling". I need to do this in the next couple of days. I feel really nervous as I'm so close to being signed by them I don't want to mess things up now. It is in the UK.

This is something I'd love to do but does anyone have any tips of how a photograph will come off best? Particular colours or looks.

Much appreciated

Answer 1

In the photograph, do what you love most. That way your smile will be genuine.

Answer 2

Believe your daydream, honey Go for it. It's good to hear of a modelling agency for women with curves! As a photographer myself (but not a professional) I would have thought u need to approach a professional. I have seen adverts for those who will put together a portfolio. Could the company recommend a good one? I would love to take ur photo, and I'm in the UK, but I live in Dorset. Hope this helps, and wishing u all the best for the future.

This shot will be an investment by you in yourself. Not just for this opportunity, but for future ones as it will be part of your portfolio. Get a professional photographer to do it.

Photographers who do portfolios for models, actors, etc., know what the agencies are looking for and can provide all the guidance you need. It shouldn't be your problem. That's what we get paid for.

DON'T just have a friend with a camera take a picture. They won't know how to do it across the board.

As a model, you are you're own product. Package yourself well.

If the agency are good then they will have a photographer that can do the picture without it costing you.
Failing that , go to a local one and get him or her to do it. The proffesssionals have all the tricks to make you look good in the picture.
