hi today I'm gonna show you how to get a modeling job I am Daniel Maritz and this
is the DLM model lifestyle
okay so how do you get a modeling job? well first you need to get a modeling
agency if you want to know how to get a model agency then check out my video on
how to get a modeling agency.
now you will also need a model portfolio which
is a book of your best model photos in them check out my video on how to get a
model portfolio but let's say you have a model agency and a model portfolio there
are two ways to get modeling jobs you get the jobs through going to castings
the other way is through direct bookings
so what is a casting well the casting is
like a job interview
your agency will send you to meet with a client when you
get there you will show them your model portfolio
and they will go through your pictures if they like you and your model
portfolio then they might ask you to change into their clothes and also take
some pictures they do this for two reasons first they need to see how their
clothes fit on you and second they need to see how you would pose so that they
know how you would perform on the day of the photo shoot
in this market we have
to go to castings with Booker's in a van we cannot go to the castings by
ourselves because we cannot speak their language
you also need to prepare yourself for the competition that you will encounter
there are a lot of models going for a casting and they are all competing for
the same job let's say your agency has five models that go to the casting but
there are 10 agencies in the whole market that means your competition is
around 50 models and they all want the same job
now when the clients have seen
all the models they will choose the model that they like the most if they
like your personality your modeling portfolio how the clothes fit on you and
your poses then you might book the job
the clients will then contact your model agency and set up a date for the
modeling job and that is it you are booked
now the second way to get booked
for a modeling job is through direct bookings now how do direct bookings work?
well the client books you for the job just from seeing your photos online or
they have worked with you before and want to use you again
you do not need to do a
casting for direct bookings they just booked you directly from the agency
because they like you
now direct bookings can also be international for example
you might live in South Africa like I do and then the client contacts your model
agency to book you for a job in Thailand the client will normally pay for your
flight your accommodation and all the other expenses in your time there
so what kinds of modeling jobs are there well let me explain some of the basic
jobs there are photoshoots TV commercials
campaigns
fashion shows showrooms and events now some people have asked can I get a
modeling job without an agency? well the short answer is yes but it is extremely
difficult if you are a new model
some models have been modeling for years with
different model agencies so they know the clients already but I would suggest
not to try this at all because you do not know who you can trust
this is especially dangerous for girls there are a lot of weird and dangerous
people out there so be very careful get a good modeling agency that you can trust
to send you the castings and direct bookings that is the best way to get
good quality modeling jobs now now if you want to know more about modeling
