Lets Start. So you want to do modelling? this is the perfect guide for you!

Modelling.

Fashion Modelling is a business, and like all businesses require investment by you. These investments may be in time and effort or in money, but you cannot hope to be successful as a commercial model without making them. Some of the traits that are important for working in modelling are a good sense of style, a positive attitude, excellent stamina, communication skills, the ability to look good on camera at all times, and outstanding facial projection.

At a minimum, you will need to invest in a portfolio. To start your modelling career.

Develop your skills.

Fashion Modeling is an art. Study and understand posing. Practice runway walking. What separates a pretty model from another model is going to be their posing ability and their walk.  Posing and walking on a runway is very awkward at first. Practice.

Here is a Fashion modelling tip for you:
Have a friend shoot photos of you to get comfortable with posing, both in front of a camera and another person. Or start smaller and put a camera on a tripod and practice by yourself until your confidence grows before you start your journey to become a fashion model.

Practice posing.

The next step to know how to start Fashion modelling is to practice in front of the camera. The supermodels you see in gorgeous magazine photos did not just sit in front of a camera and get lucky when the photographer took a picture of them.

Both equally skilled in their respective trade, a model will use her posing, facial expressions, and artistic intuition to help create the photographer’s vision. Having the right posing skills is an essential requirement for becoming a model.

The photographer will use his knowledge of lighting, aperture, framing, etc. to bring everything to life on his end. If you can’t pose and don’t feel confident in front of a camera, it will be 20 times harder to get a great shot. Work on becoming the best model you can be!

Modelling portfolio.

A great modelling portfolio is a collection of 6 to 12 photographs that shows your ability as a model. The portfolio needs to show what you are capable of.

In short, the modelling portfolio is not about YOU. It is about what /who you can be. As an aspiring model, you need an amazing modelling portfolio to kickstart your career. It’s your chance to make a great first impression on agencies and clients. One of the most critical steps to become a model and to make a stable career is to have a well-rounded modelling portfolio that showcases your strong points through high-quality, stunning images.

One of the first requirements from a model that agencies and clients will look at to make a great first impression is the modelling portfolio. It helps to have both an online version or you can send it to anyone via an email and a printed version that you can show when you meet someone face to face. You need all the exposure you can get to move up the ladder in the modelling industry.

Learn to embrace rejection.

Mentally prepare yourself for rejection- a lot of it. Even the most stunning supermodels/ Actors to ever walk the planet was told “NO.” Rejection is part of the territory.

The sooner you not only understand but accept that, the better off you will be. Don’t base your self-worth on appearance or anybody else’s approval of you. Start practicing now: See if it was easy or difficult. Start practicing the ability to let all criticism roll off your back! But don’t worry, everybody is capable of learning this skill with enough practice.

Maintain your look.

Take care of your skin, hair, body, and health. However, for fashion models, the height/weight standards are more rigid and inflexible than with any other genre in modelling.

Many supermodels use the following habits as part of their beauty routine, including but not limited to the following: drinking water like a fish throughout the day to stay hydrated. Other habits include exfoliating/washing/moisturizing face every morning and evening, wearing SPF, never going to sleep in their makeup, regular manicures, and hair appointments, taking a multivitamin, working out 4-5 days per week, maintaining a strict diet/meal plan, among many more.

Looking and feeling your best will only benefit you no matter how you look at it – Professionally or Personally.

Modelling WorkshopHaving an experienced agent or professional modelling agency do the work for you is always the best approach. However, if you want to do it yourself, it’s important to do it properly. Many new models don’t realize that it’s not only the photos that agencies are looking at. It is also how you present your photos to them that matters. Join Modelling Workshop
