TIPS ON HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL MODEL!




Modelling has always been one of my greatest passion. I have been modeling for 10 years

I have participated in 3 beauty pageants, appeared on books, magazines, done several run ways, my pictures has also been used for exhibitions, paintings , for websites, calenders, and so on.

These are few tips on how to become a successful model



Professional Attitude:

Modeling is a business, pure and simple. It can be great fun, but professional photographers, art directors, casting directorsTreat these professionals as you would expect to be treated when it comes to time. Don't waste their time by not being punctual or ready to work at the scheduled start time. Always be on time for photoshoots



Good Work Ethic:

Experienced actors, actresses and models know that there is not a steady stream of work at all times. By being aggressive with your self promotion and focusing on continually marketing your skills, you can create more work opportunities. When work opportunities arise, be prepared to do your best.

Imagination:

Use your unique look and thoughts to create something that makes you special. I am more of an artistic look model and photomodel, I believe everybody can be a model, There are a million pretty faces out there, but if you offer a unique look or attitude, you can create a demand for your services. Be creative when you put your portfolio together and use your best shots for your promotional materials. Collaborate with your photographers to come up with something really special that just screams who you are.

Discipline:

Be prepared for work. Develop the discipline to keep your valuable assets, (smile, face, figure, or what ever else you model), in good shape. Have your portfolio ready when you get a go-see, (interview or test shoot), and have your promotional materials, (headshots, zed cards, and resumes), ready for any potential interview or marketing opportunity. This chance may not come around again. Have the discipline to be a go-getter, not a wanna-be.

Persistence:

Successful actors, actresses and models are made, not born. They work at all aspects of what they do and they do not stop because of a few setbacks. They are determined to accomplish a goal and they are not easily stopped by petty excuses or fears of the unknown.



I wish you good luck!

Love
