What to Really Expect When Applying To a Modeling Agency?
It looks like you are all set to apply to a modeling agency, and being that your first time, you really have no idea what's going to happen down the road. Well, for starters, if you are an aspiring model, and when applying to modeling agencies in Los Angeles, the best thing you can do is research. You should know that, like everything else in this world, every agency is different in its own ways. You need to know the specific requirements of an agency before you apply.
You've got the internet, and it's time that you use it to the best of its ability. To help you out in the best possible way, we have compiled a list of tips that will definitely come in handy.
Get to know your market
While it may seem intriguing to apply to every agency you come across, it's better to spend some time applying to an agency that seems relevant to your interests. This means choosing an agency that accepts your division. There's no point in applying for an agency that won't accept someone of your height, size, or age. It's important to know the market and think about your look and style and what kind of jobs you could see yourself doing.
Get to know your measurements
When you are applying to a modeling agency, you end up submitting your application through the agency's website. They will ask for basic contact information along with your measurements. Most agencies will ask your measurements including height, bust, hips, and waist. Some may ask for hair color and shoe size.
Have a portfolio ready
During the process of application, you'll be asked to submit your photos. At the minimum, you will be expected to submit a headshot and a full-length body shot. If you are a fashion model, you'll be asked to submit a full-body shot in a bikini/swimwear. The headshots and body shots are to be submitted without any makeup and editing.
Keep your social media presence up to date
Some agencies may even ask for a link to your Instagram account. This is yet another way for them to learn more about your look and your personality. At this point, it'd be right to say that applying for an agency is like a job interview. If an agency asks for your Instagram account, consider that to be a part of your CV.
