A model who is truly passionate about pursuing modeling as a long-term career has to take steps to continually promote themselves and stay relevant to the industry.
Make your poses right
Learn the tricks and secrets so you can quickly achieve a good variety of poses to suit the project you’re doing. Master basic posing tips, such as keeping your chin down, twisting your body two-thirds away from the camera, bringing your ears forward, placing your eyes in line with your nose, not posing straight but at least one leg bent, and opening slightly the mouth to provide a subtle seductive pose. These are some basic tips that once mastered add beauty to any photo very easily.
Another pro tip is to learn to smile with your eyes. Have you heard of smize? Look at Tyra Banks as she flatters her eyes. Your eyes are often the center of attention in photos and are what viewers will look at to infer the emotion of the photo. Your eyes, like a painting, speak more than a thousand words, so learn to use it well.
Social Networks and Instamodeling
Use the power of social networks in your favor. Scouters from all modeling agencies and clients are constantly looking for high-quality models on social media platforms. Create a casual account where you post your selfies, your normal social life, and give some updates on your best work to show your followers more about your life as a model. Don’t create a pro model account that’s full of professional studio-quality photos, as clients are more interested in seeing what you post when you don’t expect them to see it. In addition, it is a platform for you to show your personality. Be vibrant and socially friendly with your captions in that regard. Use appropriate and popular hashtags like #outfitoftheday, #Singaporemodel, etc.; this will help your photos have more reach.
Create a website
If you are serious about modeling and attracting clients, setting up your own website is one of the best ways to go. With many free web hosting platforms like Wix and WordPress, you can easily set up a website that will help you market your modeling brand. But if you do, make sure you have a number of meaningful experiences that you can brag about on the website.
The biggest connection wins
Modeling is an industry where soft skills get the biggest prizes. If you can socialize and interact with the best clients and Bookers, you will see more opportunities coming your way. Find out about the latest fashion shows, parties and corporate events in the city and try to get your ticket. Wear your best dress and impress.
With stunning looks and an outgoing personality, you are sure to get the opportunities you are looking for.
