Modelling (clothes Etc)

[Steviewevie]

No, not for me ! Someone I know via a friend is interested in trying to become a model, e.g. modelling clothes for catalogues etc.

She's around 15 I think, possibly 16 soon. She's not interested in anything dodgy, no "glamour" modelling etc, and knows there may well be lots of scams around (e.g. pay to get nice pictures taken with the promise of some work and then nothing happens).

Does anyone know anything about this business and have any advice they can offer ? My friend asked me because they think (bless them) I know everything or at least have good ways of finding out (lol, how wrong can one person be ? ), but I have no clue about this.

Obviously you can Google for modelling agencies and so forth but there's really no way of telling what's real and what places might be out to scam people.

I'm a professional photographer that's worked with aspiring models before. The most important thing is a portfolio. Get some great shots and a variety of styles and stick them together in a professional looking portfolio. You can then use this to approach modelling agencies and so on. First of all get a professional looking and diverse portfolio, and secondly get networking. Put those two together and they're a winning combination. I'm happy to help out in any way I can. PM me if I can be any help.
