1. Search online for all modeling agencies in your city and country.


2. All modeling agencies have application forms. Many of them do not require professional photos for a first contact. You don't need to attend a model school before applying.


3. Ask a friend or family member to take a picture of you with your smartphone.


4. Do not use a lot of makeup and do not retouch the images in Photoshop. Model agencies want to see how you look without make-up.


5. Serious model agencies do not charge to review your profile.

What if modeling agencies do not accept me?

If you haven't received any response from the agencies, you shouldn't give up. You can still reach your goal!

You can start your modeling career as a freelance model.

For starters, you will need a professional book.

The book is nothing more than a set of photos showing your profile, highlighting your best angles and expressions. And these will be the photos that you will show in the castings and that you will send again to model agencies.

The perfect book should be produced with light makeup and simple styling to showcase your beauty.

Look for modeling casting calls and network with other models, agents, make-up artists, stylists and photographers.

Nowadays, it is becoming more common for people of all ages and styles to start a model career. Modeling agencies and customers are becoming more open to different profiles.

Here are some tips to avoid scams:

1. Be wary of modeling agencies that promise specific jobs, no agency can guarantee a job, because it is the customer of the agency who chooses the model.


2. Be wary when approval is too easy and when the agency doesn't have a selection criteria. A serious agency will want to meet you in person before signing a contract.


3. Stay away from agencies that ask for sexy photos to evaluate your profile. Serious agencies won't ask the model to send sexy or nude photos.

If you want to start a modeling career or update your book, send me a message!
