Castings   Ideally, the client will contact the modelling agency with their requirements, the agency will select the best model for the job, and that’s that. Unfortunately, it’s rarely as simple as that. There can be many stages involved in selecting a model for a job, and a model has to be responsive and prepared at each stage to avoid missing out. The Go See or Casting This is the first stage of potentially getting a modelling job. It’s critical to respond to the casting call as quickly as possible, because jobs are sometimes cast within hours, and the client may simply select the first model to respond. Before you respond, you probably want to find out if you even want the job – this may seem like a no brainer, but its worth double checking when and where the shoot is, how much it pays and what the requirements are. You may discover it clashes with another job, or that the pay is simply too low to make it worthwhile. However, if you decide you do want to a...

Some modelling agencies, particularly if you have an exclusive contract with them, may prefer it i...

Modelling Agency Application Photos Modelling Agencies get hundreds of submissions of photos by wannabe models, so they have to sift through them very quickly, rejecting the ones that are no good. They don’t have time to examine each one with a fine tooth comb, searching for a spark. They need to know if the person is suitable for modelling instantly, and they are looking for any excuse to bin the picture. Here are some of the mistakes you can make that will get your photo rejected out of hand. Being too big a personality You may look at fashion models, or the models in the adverts for high street stores and think they look pretty cool or funky. You may think that therefore, you should be cool and funky when you apply to be a model. Wrong. The models you see look exactly how the client brand wants them to look. In another picture the same model may be unrecognisable and may look geeky or sporty or gothic. The key to being a successful model is being a blank...
