Hi Abhishek,
Becoming a model is the dream of every young girl or boy who craves fashion, designer clothes, glamour, being center stage and traveling the world.
If you are determined to pursue a professional modelling career, and you feel that you have what it takes, there are a few key things to keep in mind when you decide to take that crucial step onto the catwalk.
Here is the process to make sure that you're in the righteous path of taking your career in the field of Modelling:
Getting Parental Approval
If you are under 18, you need parental approval before signing with an agency.
Obtaining Photographs
Professional photographs are essential for beginning a career as a teen model. Look for professional photographers who specialize in headshots or fashion editorial.
Creating a Portfolio
Despite its fancy name, a modeling portfolio is just a bound book with plastic sleeve pages for displaying photographs. Insert several of the best photos from the photo shoot into the portfolio. If you are uncertain about a picture, don't include it.
Composition Cards
Known as "comp cards" or "zed cards," composition cards are printed on 8 1/2 in. by 5 1/2 in. cardstock and include both your photos and your vital statistics such as name, height, weight and age and hair color.
Finding an Agent
Contact modeling agencies in your area. Many agencies hold "open call" days when prospective models meet with scouts and present their composition cards and portfolios.
Signing a Contract
Sign a contract with an established, reputable agency. Before signing, read the contract carefully with your parents or guardian and ask questions about anything that's unclear.
Considerations
The modeling industry can offer great opportunities for money and travel, but it is not without risks. Illegitimate agencies or photographers, pressure to maintain a certain look or weight, and access to alcohol or drugs are some of the challenges teen models may run into.
I hope the above mentioned process helps you grinding yourself into a better person into the field of your interest. Feel free to raise more queries.
Make it large with your dedication.
All the best.
