Becoming a model part one
Besides the physical requirement to be a model you also need a personality for it. Professional modeling is a tough business. Only certain people can stand up to the hard work schedule and stress that modeling demands. So what are some good traits for a model? For this paper I will speak about two such
1. Hard Working – It does takes a lot of hard work and a strong backbone to become a model and stay one. I often tell my models as hard it is to get a foot in its even harder to stay in. So lets talk about getting in. No one can deny that there is a lot of con in this business called modeling. Its my opinion that where there is one good agency there is 10 bad ones. In every city across the word the picture is the same. So the first and challenging thing to do is ting a good agency This can be quite time consuming and my advise is be on no rush as to be involved with the wrong one can have dire consequences. The rip off and sexually molestation encountered by model hopefuls are written about a lot. If you google the topic a lot of facts jump up before you. I have written before on steps to take in finding a good agency. Once you are in an agency you will have a lot to do such as staying in shape physically keeping tack of your appointments and turning up on time all the time. Attending your training and, workshops Developing strong backbone against jealous models Some times . a photo shoot can run as long as 16 hours and varying hours of the day & night.
2. Intelligence - There is a lot to learn about modeling, being an independent business person, about you and about surviving in a big world of sharks. If you can't learn it fast you could get eaten alive. This is a fact however been intelligent in this business goes a lot further It means first research this business you are getting involved in. It It means been able to read and understand a modeling contract and much more.
