03/25 Advice for models
When someone decides to become a model, there are a few things they need to know. First off, don’t fall for some expensive offers of modeling photography because you don’t need to spend a lot of money at this stage. The agencies simply need a few basic pictures of you so they can tell whether they want to see more. But some companies hard-sell a package of costly glamour photos, and say they will help you become rich and famous overnight. Forget that silly stuff and just get a local portrait photographer in your city to help you out. Look in your phone book and choose one of the photographers that do portraits, weddings, yearbook photos, family pics, etc. Those people can make you look great, and at a good price that fits your budget. Don’t fall for some big city tricks that want to get your money, just use a local person who has been doing photo work for years in your area and will help you with an affordable photo shoot.
