Coming into the industry
Hi All! My names Em and I am new to the industry. Currently, I am wrapping my head around stuff and delving deep in! I was just wondering if anyone has any general tips about where to start in the industry. I am currently looking into doing commercial modelling, does this seem a good route? I am sick of my 9-5 and would love to possibly have a little me time, and I am so excited to start. I know it will be tough but I think I am ready. So, lovely to meet you all!

Enjoy your stay here, do your best to read the forums, glean the knowledge, wisdom and advice from others in the industry and don't be afraid to ask lots of questions.

Commercial modeling goes primarily through bona fide agencies. You are tall enough to do commercial work, but you would be terribly limited in fashion work, due to being not tall enough, and for being too busty. Product advertising is another animal. That you can possibly do. You could also do advertising on TV, for retailers, etc. A good agency will evaluate you, and give you a thumbs up, or down, as to being able to be successful. The Gothic look is out. You will need more pictures, in a different style. The agency will know which photographers you should go to, to test with. I am not knowledgeable in the UK markets, so that is as much as I can guide you with, for now. Rick Sep 06 23 02:45 pm Link

For some helpful info for new models read everything at www.newmodels.com Sep 17 23 12:38 pm Link welcome to mm. My advice, first hire a professional photographer to help you with your port. ( That don't necessarily mean the person with the most expensive camera) Let the people in the industry see more of a natural you. You have been given some good advice already. Talk shop with other models, and photographers, so as to increase your knowledge, more and more. BEST WISHS! Sep 19 23 06:08 am Link Emx x wrote: Pleasure hearing from you Em... Yes the Commercial Genre could be a excellent choice (albeit you need to follow through with both appropriate images and accurate measurements otherwise I can only say maybe) Sep 21 23 02:06 pm Link |
