Model Feedback from Paula 

Happy first assignment.…

All involvement was interactive and we all got on well. No one tried to over whelm you. The company representative said he was very pleased along with the photographer and the other model. So I was happy with my first assignment.

Your photos are your selling point. 

They are your only chance to make a great first photographic impression.

It doesn’t matter if you have 5 years of modeling experience if that experience isn’t reflected in your photographs. Conversely, you can have very little or no modeling experience, but if your photographs have “wow factor”, people will be more likely to want to work with you.

So you owe it to yourself to only put up your very best. Less is more.

When you’re first starting out (and from that point on!), good photography is important. Do not include poorly lit, poorly exposed, uncropped, out-of-focus, edited and filtered photos, and badly composed photos. 

Client will be looking at photos or the model whose images really catch their eye?

Avoid representing yourself with photos that do not accurately reflect your potential and level of expertise.

Variety is important in a portfolio. You want to create photos that show you, your diversity, and what you are capable of. 

Even when all is said and done, there is absolutely no guarantee that good photos will create demand for you. However, bad photos can be damaging to your career and aspirations.

Today was great fun

Today was great fun, very casual which made it relaxing and no pressure was felt. Nice quiet Photo Booth so it felt more interactive and had good guide from the photographer

What being on set really feels like for our models – 

Your first modelling job will be an event to remember – and your first time on set will be a memory to cherish.

Yes, of course you will feel nervous as the day approaches and, of course, you will be worried about how it will go and quite what it will be like

But please, please be reassured that we will do everything we can to make sure that you know what to expect and are well prepared.

You will also be under the direction of a team of people – probably a production crew – who know exactly what they are doing too and are used to working with new models.

No two modelling jobs are ever the same and each time you step out on a set there is likely to be something that is different, but broadly this is what to expect:Read our latest blog for more – https://www.modelsdirect.org.uk/what-being-on-set-really-feels-like-for-a-model/#modelsdirect #blog #beingonset #bookamodel #hireamodel #becomeamodel #apply #modelling
