How do I get paid work?
I want to do shoots where people have clothes for you to wear, like swimsuits, lingerie and whatnot. How do I get stuff like that? Do I just ask different companies or what? Jan 08 08 08:47 pm Link Ask your agency to send you out on assignments/castings/go sees for clothing companies. Jan 08 08 08:48 pm Link First, you need to be worthy of pay. You have to have something someone needs and is willing to pay for.. look, size, etc. Of course, it helps if you start out by learning something about the industry you are expecting to extract income from.... LC Jan 08 08 08:51 pm Link Well, I think I am worthy. I don't have an agency though. How do I find one? Jan 08 08 08:52 pm Link http://newmodels.com you could probably find photographers out there who have wardrobe pieces available for you to wear, or people who are willing to purchase new wardrobe for you - but i think you're talking about commercial work, like doing catalog shots for a clothing company or store. that type of work is generally booked through an agency.

Those type of images will attract agencies. Good luck Jan 08 08 08:57 pm Link There's quite a bit of info like what you are asking for in the Model Matters forum... Try reading through a few and using the search tool for specific questions. There's also a lot of good info for new models on http://www.newmodels.com Jan 09 08 01:54 pm Link Liz Schafer wrote: YOU may think you're worthy, agencies may NOT. You need more experience in order to start getting paid, you must impress the hell out of other pro photographers and/or agencies. ALL models on here think they're worth something, otherwise they would not even try modeling in the first place. Jan 09 08 01:59 pm Link Gracie wrote: What YOU think doesn't matter. Just ask any of the "models" here who thought they could get work because they were "determined". Jan 10 08 11:24 pm Link |
