When Applying To An Agency

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed and learnt from my last two posts. Happy Sallah to you my Muslim brother and sisters.



Well now that you have information about agencies you will like to join, so how do you present yourself the right way to this agency. Although as a Model, there are some physical qualities you have to possess, but personality also matters. First impression matters. Everywhere you go, you have to be memorable. For you to be a good model, you need to act like a model, walk like a model, talk like a model, behave like a model because everyone is watching if you dont know.
 Now im going to be giving some tips on how to present yourself to an agency. First of all, send a mail to the agency and introduce yourself, tell them a little bit about yourself and why you want to join the agency. The agency will reply you by telling you to send your pictures and stats. I will advise you to

 (1.) Send a studio unedited headshot where you have no makeup on, no sun shades, no hat,  if possible no hair extensions or attachment or coloured hair, wearing a white or black tanktop or round neck for the guys and a plain studio background. The agency must first of all see you plain and see the real you.
(2.) Send any other pictures, your portfolio, your zed card, professional pictures, studio edited pictures but not camera pictures.
(3.) Let the pictures be followed with your stats in this manner:

Name
Age
Bust/chest
Waist
Hips
Shoulder
Height
Eye colour
Hair colour
Dress size
Shoe size
Any piercing
Jobs done(if none, simply put N/A)

If the agency likes you, you may be called to come to their office for an appointment. When you are going, you have to look like a Model. Wear a white or black tank top on a skinny jeans with your black heels along with your portfolio with no makeup and no hair extensions and attachments if possible. For the guys, wear a white or black round neck top with jeans and shoes and shave. When you get there, be filled with confidence, make sure you smile, greet everyone you meet, be polite and say Thank you where necessary. Introduce yourself with a smile and be memorable.

Next, I'm going to talk about modelling contracts and the relationship between a Model and agency. So please stay tuned.
