Primodels- Getting Started in Modeling?

• Getting Started 
• How does one get started in modeling? There is no
  one way for a person to get started. Different
  models have reached success through different
  routes. If one wants to become a doctor there is
  a set course of schooling, experience and
  testing, but for modeling there is no clear path.
  We do know of some of the ways models have gotten
  started in the past. This is by no means an
  exhaustive list but it might help in your efforts
  to launch a career in modeling.

Front Door - Go to the Source

• The bulk of the work in modeling is booked
  through Modeling Agencies. So literally go to the
  front door of the modeling agency. This is the
  number one way for a wannabe to start. You have
  to do some research to find where the modeling
  agency door is, locally or other big city, and
  those they are no PRIMODELS SCAM. You can
  approach a primodels agency through their open
  call, schedule an interview or by submitting a
  cover letter and photographs. Give them a call or
  email them and ask how they want new talent to
  contact them. There is no reason to try another
  way of getting started until you have been turned
  down at the front door.

Know Someone

• Some models get started because they have an in.
  You hear stories of someone who has a friend who
  models and goes to a photo shoot with them and is
  then discovered by the photographer. Some might
  have an aunt who modeled or runs an agency and
  helps to get them started. Others might work in a
  related field and one day finds them not working
  beside the camera but in front of it. In smaller
  markets child models are most often used because
  they are an art director's, buyer's, or
  photographer's kid. Knowing someone in the
  business can help a lot in getting a career in
  modeling started.

The Fates

• Modeling agencies are in fact constantly looking
  for new talent. This is very true in fashion
  modeling. This segment of modeling is composed
  mostly of young models. By the time a model is
  thirty their career is over. There is always a
  need to find the next generation of models.
  Because of this need for new talent, folks
  involved with modeling agencies are looking for
  new talent. This can be modeling agencies'
  personnel (owner, booker), photographers, art
  directors, and of course the "model scouts." Some
  agencies are in fact large enough to employ an
  individual who is just out looking for that next
  generation of new talent or to fill new needs of
  a client. Unfortunately, the term "model scout"
  is being used more often by rip off
  organizations, web space salesmen and scoundrels,
  so one is correct in being suspicious of anyone
  calling them selves a model scout. But there are
  numerous stories of models being discovered at
  the mall, on the beach, or other public place. So
  if you hope to start your career in modeling by
  waiting for the fates to smile on you, plan on
  spending a lot of time hanging in out in public
  places.

Hard work

• Some models do work their way into modeling (I
  have also heard from models that modeling is hard
  work and all models work their way into the
  business). These models track down tests shoots
  and put together their comp cards and portfolios.
  They study and practice being a model by working
  on their expressions, posing, runway walking,
  hair styling, make up, working in front of a
  camera, and how the business works. These models
  may work freelance or have nonexclusive contracts
  with a number of modeling agencies. In smaller
  regional markets, where agencies do not have the
  resources to develop new talent, an agency might
  not work with a model until they have developed
  their skills and marketing materials. If you
  enjoy the process of modeling and doing good
  work, then all of the time and expense that go
  into this process can be its own reward. If you
  have to make a living at modeling, you should be
  sure you meet the basic physical and aptitude
  requirement of the type of modeling you want to
  become before you invest your time and money into
  this process. If you want to be a high fashion
  model and do not have the size or a look, no
  amount of hard work will make you a career model.
