Should I have a portfolio?
You need a portfolio to be successful. Think of it as your resume. Your modeling portfolio will showcase your abilities and versatility, as well as your full potential as a model. A good portfolio can increase your chances of getting signed with an agency and finding work, so the better your portfolio, the higher your chances of getting hired.
Is my portfolio free or do I have to pay?
Each model will need to pay for their portfolio. A top fashion agency will build portfolios for their models and will take a large cut of the first pay, however not every model is lucky enough to sign to a top agency because they have very strict requirements.
Are professional images required to approach agencies?
Models should always have professional images in order to market themselves, but some companies and agencies will request natural photographs before making a decision.
Does Apple Models work with studios?
Apple Models is owned by The Photo Studio Group Atlanta LLC, which owns a studio in Atlanta. We would encourage you to compare our work to the work of others.
Is work guaranteed by Model Agencies?
It is impossible for an agency to guarantee work. Despite the fact that they can represent you and market you, it is ultimately the creative decision makers who select which model they want to work with based on the portfolio you present to them.
How long would it take for me to get jobs?
Again, this will depend on what the client wants. It is not uncommon for models to start getting jobs the day they sign up or even three months after they sign up. Also, new trends, fashions, and companies can influence this.
How much money will I receive?
Rates for models vary greatly depending on the client. Daily and hourly rates are available. In order to keep track of your earnings you should be very clear about all rates and percentages your agent will take, and you can refer to your contract to find out those rates and percentages.
Is travel required?
You may have to travel when modeling, and this depends on the location of the shoots and castings you attend. Usually, the agent arranges your travel.
How would modeling affect my studies?
You can choose which castings and shoots you attend; agencies will represent you and assist you in finding work. Don't be afraid to say no to castings and shoots. Your agency will know you are enrolled full-time in school and will only call you at the weekends and holidays, so your studies are not disrupted.
Is it possible to be a part of more than one agency?
The majority of models within the industry work on a freelance basis - they do not have exclusive contracts. The benefit of this is that they are able to work with more than one agency.
What size and shape should I be?
In the last five years the model industry underwent a revolution: now you don't have to be a size zero in order to be successful. In the present day, many of the world's leading designers prevent size zero models from appearing in runway shows. Being realistic and bringing the right portfolio to the right agency is key.
Does the modeling industry accept tattoos?
It used to be that tattoos weren't welcome in the industry, but now tattoos are more accepted. Advertisers have realized that their target market does not only want to see tattooed models but also have some kind of tattoo.
