America?s Next Top Model and its counterparts in other countries like Canada, Australia, and Germany have popularly led thousands of girls aspiring to be on tv, pose in fab clothes and walk the runways, to reach their dreams and make them come true. Of course, you have to be born for modeling to get even on just on that catwalk, or fashion ad. You must be rare creatures whose height ranges from 5?9 to 6?. You shouldn?t be bigger than a size 6, unless you?re plus-sized. You need to have perfect skin. Lastly, you have to be as young as the ages between 14 to 20 years.
First, find an agency. You can save money and effort by just sending a few simple photos than creating an expensive portfolio. Better if the photos are simple, since an agency wants to look at a natural face, not someone who?s made up and dressed up, and trying to pose like a supermodel. Get photos of yourself by asking someone to take snapshots of you. Don?t worry if they look amateur. Just avoid wearing makeup so that modeling agencies can see your natural beauty.
The beginning of a modeling career is a very hard time. To survive this situation, you need to be strong and never lose hope. Some models move to New York, Paris, or Milan after they?ve signed with an agency. At first they?d usually feel homesick or perhaps they won?t even get any jobs right away. The agency?s job is to support the models in these times.
Presentation is vital. Fashion knowledge is key to work any outfit, but agencies try to teach models not to wear makeup, except maybe for some blush, and simply have clean hair and nails. A shirt and jeans outfit will do. Medium high heels looks good, too.
