I really don't like pictures that have been taken by the model holding up their camera phone. If you can't find someone to take pictures for you for free, how can you expect people to pay you for modelling? My advice, get some professional pictures in your portfolio.

if you have friends who are in the industry, ask if they can refer a good photographer to work with you to help build a basic portfolio or get your some simple shots. start your gallery of images with head shots (front or side) along with a full body shot or 3/4 length.

you can also try going to a legit agency in your city and ask for advice. you don't necessarily have to sign with them, but getting answers from them will be a big help!

if you decide to freelance, you have to know that you need to spend money to make money! YOU are your biggest investment, and it's a lot of hard work, but if you stick to it, it will work in the end!

all the best! :)

Make sure not to hurt your face. That's your biggest asset. Unless it's porn you're interested in, and i think you'd protect THAT even more. ;]
This advice i'm posting is kind of a joke.

well, i'm gonna be honest.. you're pictures in you're portfolio would not land you a job in the modeling career.. you must have pictures focused on your features and assets.. the shots are too far and mostly hiding you..;)

Yeah!

I want to recommend that this forum be sent to models & "wanabee" models on this web site, and future talent who post a profile.

The FIRST question I get asked by a model is "How much am I getting paid?" She may have a few photos by GWCs, "Guys With Cameras" or FWP&SC "Friends With Point & Shoot Digital Cameras. Or camera phone photos. Even better, "mall photo studio" photos.

No experience. No clue what to do. Would not know a pose, or how, and what a designer was "saying" when they created the item. Then they get MAD, INDIGNANT, fill-in-the-blank-adjective when you tell them they have no experience, but you are willing to help them start a portfolio ... and you will not charge THEM for shooting great photos for them.

Most of my career, I have done whatever I could, to help newer people "live their dream". Kinda payback for the mentors who helped me along the way.

I am planning, organizing, a benefit event to help models, new or experienced, get some great shots, next month in the Philippines, and have written many of the Philippine models/wanabees here on this site. All the talent/MUA's/stylists AND sponsors are donating their services. The experienced models here understand, and want to be a part of this gift. The "newbies" are less than wonderful in their replies to me. As well as demanding this & that, I will or will not do this or that, yada, yada, yada.

There should be a FAQ on modeling that is ... required ... READING for all people who sign up here. It would save a LOT of time, and wasted energy, for all involved. And teach some unexperienced people, POLITELY, what it takes, what is the REALITY, of being a model...

Paradise has nice potential, but she should start her own topic, not piggyback on this one.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

Hi Rian!

Wow it's hard starting out and hey you do not need professional pics,don't let any aspiring photographer tell you that lol, but hey without that you do need to focus more on you the Subject, get those pics shown as headsot close up! Full body shot! Keep them clear crisp and of you in main focus!

Then when people ask about you and take an interest you know you are doing right!

Ouch to the person that replied before me! Ok you can take pics, but you are not gonna get your success by knocking your potential subjects like Rian here! Go work for Tesco if you have that limited attitude!

Good luck and experimatent with many options Rian!

i don't know about all the advice that is given here but do you not get a modelling job by the "likeness" of some model scouts or some big boss or a photographer? many famous supermodels are discovered like this, don't they?? like that brazilian lima and kate moss. bec i don't understand how they pick a model?
