What should I do to make career in modelling?

Hi Ayushi Confidence, a healthy attitude and supportive parents are crucial when launching a modeling career. Here is a small summary to understand the modelling career. Getting Parental Approval If you are under 18, you need parental approval before signing with an agency. Modeling can mean long shoots and last-minute assignments, so having your parents behind you can also reduce some of the stress and help you balance your modeling career with school responsibilities. Talk to your parents about your modeling goals and explain to them what their support means to you and to your modeling career. 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. It's better to have a few great shots instead of dozens of mediocre ones. 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, age and hair color. Typically, a comp card has a headshot on the front and several smaller images on the reverse side. 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. If there aren’t any modeling agencies in your area, you can also send your images by mail. Some of the top agencies, such as Ford Models and Elite Model Management, offer online application forms. Agencies post open call times and application instructions on their websites. 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. On receipt of your contract, the agency will sign you up for auditions and contact you about upcoming modeling calls. Since legitimate agents will take a commission from your modeling assignments, you should never pay upfront fees to join an agency. If an agency demands money from you, move on. Good Luck!
