Becoming a Successful Model
Dear Jamie,
I have been following your fitness career and really admire the success you’ve obtained in such a short period of time. As an aspiring model, could you please give me any advice to becoming a successful model?
Thanks,
Ann
Dear Ann,
Think quality over quantity. Find the best photographers you can, pay if you have to, and build a great portfolio. Publishers see and receive pictures of potential models every day. Many times it’s just a snapshot. Show them a finished product. With the proper lighting, makeup and wardrobe, a publisher will see the quality image you can produce which will make them more confident in hiring you for a project. Also, do not post 10 shots from the same series of pictures. That takes away from the impact of an image. Show too many and it becomes a comparison. In reality, you are lucky to get 1 or 2 amazing shots from a set of 100. Always edit down.
