Hi everyone!
Hi! My name's Savannah, and I'm seventeen. Not necessarily new to MM--I made my account awhile back--but I'm just beginning to actively and seriously pursue modelling. I'm currently from Ohio, but I'll be moving to London in September to attend university, so I figure now is the perfect time to start making some contacts and preparing for what could be a really exciting time in my life.  My port is extremely limited as of now, but hopefully more interesting and professional things will be added soon. I've already chatted with a few photographers and everyone seems extremely nice, very willing to help me properly start a portfolio; I couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome. If anyone has any advice for myself specifically or just as it relates to new models in general, I'd really appreciate it!

Search or Post Casting Calls and Travel/Availability Notices Official Casting Call Rules - Read Browse for photographers in your area and leave comments on images you like, send a friend request or message. Start a list of photographer's photos that you think are top notch for photographers in your area. This can become something of a Rolodex. Make sure that you select the Advanced Options and select an appropriate Logged in within:. I typically use 30 days, but you may want people who respond faster. Otherwise you will get photographers who haven't logged in in over a year. There are a lot of inactive accounts. Good luck in your search! MM FAQ A lot of useful information is at New Models.

The links are super helpful, I really appreciate that. x Apr 15 14 12:24 pm Link Hellur *Madea Voice* lol Apr 15 14 12:33 pm Link I'd suggest you visit the major agencies in NYC, especially those with offices in London. You have the look. Few do. If modelling is of interest, go for the big time before you're too old. Apr 15 14 12:38 pm Link Toto Photo wrote: Wow... that really means a lot, thank you so much.

Money and time are both very tight. I do plan on hitting the agencies hard once I get to London though.
