#1 which is more important building a great model portfolio or networking with the right people?


DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE OF MODELING YOU WANT TO DO

are you a agency model or a independent nude/art/tattoo

. general point is they are both important but in different times in a models growth…


AGENCY MODEL

month 1-6 GO BIG ON PORTFOLIO

month 7-12 GO BIG ON NETWORKING

#2 year you need to go get the best portfolio that money can buy or you can hook up with awesome photographers and stylist get a awesome PRINTED PORTFOLIO AND GO TO AGENCIES!!!!   at that point if you are not getting signed  you are either not shooting with the right photog or not going to the right agency.. have a some serious self searching at this point and figure out what is your next move!!!!    my suggestion is that you completely rework your port and start hitting agency’s again..




#3  art nude modeling and tattoo modeling

TOTALLY DIFFERENT

month 1-6  you take almost every SAFE OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE TO SHOOT!!
you are building your network of clients with each shoot, so show up on time and have fun
don’t act like you have something better to do!

months 7-12  make a website start charging for shoots that you already have in your port or that the work is not going to be as good as what you already have.

year #2
get the best portfolio that money can buy or that you can trade for and make your website even stronger….

still take in high number of shoots but be MORE SELECTIVE WITH WHO IT IS YOUR SHOOTING WITH!!.......about 6 months in you need to start traveling!!!!!  and welcome the life of a traveling model because this is where the money is at!!!!
