| Date: 2007-07-15 15:26 In general, agencies don't need to go scouting for models, as they get too many
knocking on their doors as it is.
To be successful, get some basic pictures done (head shot & full-length) and
then contact a couple of agencies in your area and see what they advise you to
do.
Just a word of caution: if their advice consists of "pay us hundreds of Euros
for a photo shoot and registration etc and then we'll put you on our books" then
treat it with extreme caution as that's the hallmark of the
scam "agencies"!
The same is normally true of agencies approaching girls - and on the rare
occasion that a talent scout picks you off the street, they'll not be offended
if you want to discuss it with your parents before taking it any further. |

| Date: 2007-07-17 13:31 Hey Shara!
It works like any other networking area, you just do your best and get yourself
seen!
Keep your portfolio interesting, try to link a website or area where you have
more photos to your portfolio here maybe! But be cautious of the contact info
that you show or give out, remember at 14 you should be getting parental consent
for any photos used by others!
Like Ricks says, please watch out for the agencies that wish you to part with
money, they are nearly always scams to make money for themselves, any agency
with a good portfolio of clients and good, current work would not need to take
money from aspiring models!
I am currently making the 'Aspiring Teen Talents' page at my Jewellery website
into a more comprehensive and on-going area, giving a free platform for aspiring
Models and talents to show additional photos and comment, so Shara if you would
like to be included in that, please let me know ok?
Best wishes from
MIKE!

To be successful, get some
basic pictures done (head shot & full-length) and then contact a couple of
agencies in your area and see what they advise you to do.
Tekhanei Venture:
Serious Basic Initial
Requirements consist of the following first steps for submission
qualifications:
1) Headshot
2) Form fitting or swimsuit of full length body shot
3) One with a SMILE
Just to elaborate on this, I'm sure Shara will be able to find a photographer in
her part of Germany to work with to get these pictures, as the initial pictures
need not be of professional quality - the agency wants to see her, not the
stunning work of a pro photographer. Then they will be well-placed to advise her
on the next steps, which might include getting portfolio pictures with a
professional.
Of course, there will be the chance of rejections, and at Shara's height she is
of course not going to be tall enough for catwalk work, but there is plenty of
catalogue and editorial work which needs good models, and that might be Shara's
best target.
The main point about rejections is to take away what you can by way of any
feedback and try to work with it to improve your skills and your presentation.
However, there's also the point worth mentioning that being rejected by an
agency one day does not mean you've failed - it simply means that you didn't fit
what that individual was looking for on that particular day. There's nothing to
stop you from approaching the same agency again 2 or 3 months later - assuming
you've taken on board any comments which they might have offered - and trying
again. Persistence alone has been known to pay off as it shows a commitment and
dedication. |

| Date: 2007-07-17 02:53 Just a P.S. to Shara: I know you're in Germany, but if you were to come to
Britain on holiday during the summer, give me a shout and I'd help you with
getting those basic shots, and give you some practice in front of the camera at
the same time.
If you'd make the effort, then so would I.  |

| Date: 2007-07-26 21:29 Well rick similarly I offered Shara the opportunity to be added at my site which
she expressed an interest in, but it seems since starting here she then
discovered forum! to then discovering flirt zone lol! Shara obviously has put
the emphasis on other things lol!
It's amazing how serious these younger models are! In fact it's a mine field
lol!
I have some great serious aspiring talents currently and they are focussed on
what they want and their particular talents ! |

...So that's a
PLUS in your port, already!
...I could
kiss ya for telling it straight forward & being courteous enough to gently WARN
against the exploiting advantage point of mild extortion of young & vulnerable
models...
