Answer 1

1. Learn the lingo. A manager at an agency introduces you to clients and helps steer your career in exchange for 20 percent of your earnings. Your book, or portfolio, shows you in a range of professional photos. A comp card is a flyer featuring several shots of you, your measurements and your agency’s contact information. A casting, an open call or a go see is an appointment with a prospective client.

2. Study your look. “Spend time staring into the mirror,” says Maiysha, a Ford model and official print-campaign girl for Lane Bryant. “Know what your face does when you make different expressions.” Kyle Hagler, a model manager at International Management Group (IMG), advises, “Do as many test shoots as possible, even if they’re only snapshots.” Critique your photos: What is your best pose? Your most flattering angle?

3. Find a good agency. Most major modeling agencies are based in New York with branches in large cities like Miami and Los Angeles. But many smaller cities have modeling or talent agencies. Send local agencies your best snapshots and arrange an interview. Before you agree to be represented by an agency, do your research: Who are the models it represents? What kind of work do they get (newspaper circulars, local fashion shows)? Is the agency listed with the Better Business Bureau?

4. Beware of scams. No one should ask you to invest a lot of money in comp cards, portfolios or test shoots. A reputable agency that’s serious about representing you will arrange for test shoots with some photographers willing to shoot you free of charge and sell you prints for a nominal fee, says Hagler. Or they’ll advance you the money and deduct it from your first paycheck.

5. Understand the requirements. To model full-time, you must be able to work long hours (a shoot can last more than 12 hours), sometimes with little sleep. You must be determined, focused and in possession of extraordinary genes: Models are typically at least five feet nine inches tall and well proportioned (usually with hips and waist measurements that are approximately ten inches apart, such as 34-24-34). You’ll also need flawless skin, straight teeth and symmetrical features.

Answer 2

I recommend another occupation. Being selected as a model is difficult for females and far more difficult for males because there is so little demand because there is so little demand for models. Furthermore, male models get paid less than female models even when they do selected for a modeling assignment.
