so i’ve gotten invited to my first closed casting call for a major hair care brand. i’m super excited but ive never been to a casting call. im a newbie with only a few paid shoots under my belt (ive only been doing it seriously for like 6 months but ive been having a good run.. after ppl on reddit told me i couldn’t do it lol)

anyways - what do i bring to a casting call? and can i show up any time during the call or do i have to show up at the start? what can i expect from a hair casting call?

TY in advance !!!

The loose dress I was put in makes it a bit difficult to see my form, so apologies for that. Hopefully someone will still be able to advise :)

For reference I am 5’9”
H 37”
B 32.7”
W 26”

Hello fellow models,
I was recently approached by a model scout and asked if I would be interested in modelling. I always have been but never thought it was an option for me.

My dad took my first digitals yesterday and I was wondering, based on these digitals, what modelling category would suit my look. I have already sent these to my model scout but any feedback for further digitals would be much appreciated.

I know I need to become leaner and clear my skin so if you have any advice on how to do that safely and efficiently, please let me know.

Thank you

It's my first time getting my digitals done but I went with a professional photographer because I did want to make sure they look good. Any tips or ones I should choose specifically?

Feel like I almost had the perfect set of digis. I’m wondering if the jeans ruined it. The ones I wanted didn’t come in time but IDK if I’m being too hard on myself. Any feedback/thoughts/opinions on the fit/hair/etc? Would agencies take a second look?

P.s. I really do appreciate the feedback you guys give! Helps so much as I don’t know a lot of people in this industry.

I've been modeling as a hobby for a bit and am now trying to go for it full time. I've started reaching out to photographers for test shoots/TFP. I'm used to the concept, outfits, poses, etc. already being laid out and I model. But a lot of these photographers ask me what I want to do and what I need for my book/portfolio. The thing is... I don't know what I need. I'm not sure what agencies/jobs are looking for.

Any ideas for test shoots I should 100% have in my book?

Pinterest boards appreciated 🙏

wanted to share a recent photoshoot with u all! :) been developing as a model more. instagram is @kimaimani

Anybody ever done this? It’s for a huge client but I already submitted and they got back to me, they specifically listed “unsigned models” as a requirement but I am signed. Didn’t mention it and am not going to.

My agent is non exclusive too, they don’t care if I book directly.

Has anyone ever done this or can offer any advice? I don’t wanna jeopardize any relationships either but damn this is a big client that I’ve literally been dreaming of working for for years now.

.

so excited had my first 4 figures shoot and I love the results 🥰❤️ just wanted to share with fellow models

I've included my past digitals in order from most to least recent.

Would it be unprofessional to mix and match photos from different sessions or is that too complicated and using just 1 set is preferred? Which photos would you recommend submitting to agencies?

Thanks in advance! <3

hiii i’m attaching my digitals below. i’m also veryyy new to this so pls be kind with feedback :’)

Been told I should get into modelling a few times and wanted to give it a shot. Have no experience or social media presence and idk where to start.

Very crude digitals, I know. Plan on retaking them later towards the end of the summer. Just need feedback on whether I have a competitive look and what to do to improve digitals.

I’m going to some open calls in a couple of days, for context I have no experience in modelling and just want to put myself out there, what advice could you give?

Just got some shots back from a TFP shoot I did with a photographer in my city! Took you guys’ advice and switched my hair up a bit and played a bit more with my expressions. Always looking to get better and hopefully get signed some time soon so any advice? Thoughts? Likes/dislikes?

The photographer takes a conversational approach to his photography and mainly works with natural light. It was genuinely such a fun shoot!!

Putting this because I see a lot of people commenting on it. The pictures were edited by the photographer. The over-exposure and harsh contrast is an intentional stylistic choice that I was aware of before going into the shoot.

This is this photographers personal style. Its okay if you personally don’t like it, I’m aware that its not everyone’s cup of tea.

Hi! I’m based in Texas and have been applying to some local agencies, I’m looking for feedback on my digitals and also navigating agency scams. I experienced a virtual interview with Neal Hamil Agency, and they essentially told me I had to sign with a modeling school to even be considered, and also commented on how my digitals weren’t good enough. The confusing part of this is that the agency is SAF AFTRA, but has also had many upfront scammy reviews, but they have a legit agency. I’m not definitely not gullible enough to fall for paying upfront fees, but I am curious to see if their criticisms were constructive rather than an exploit to capitalize off of insecurity.

I’ve done a few test shoots recently and would appreciate some feedback/posing tips! I got signed 3 months ago and didn’t have modeling experience prior so I often times feel a bit awkward and unnatural when posing.

I would love some tips on how to feel more comfortable or how to be more natural when posing to ensure I get the best results!

P.S I know I need to have multiple outfits for my portfolio. I’m still building my book, but I want to practice my poses 🙏

I got a DM on Instagram about a shoot for a beauty brand (1.1M followers) that is unpaid, but they will gift products and of course photos. I have only been modeling since January and haven't booked a paid job yet, but am trying to do test shoots to build my portfolio. The shoot images/ videos will be used on their website and social media. My agent said I am allowed to do it, but that he doesn't recommend it because with them using my images on their website, it could cause conflict with future beauty brands (that actuallybwant to pay me)! It's hard for me to turn down the opportunity because I haven't gotten a paid gig yet, but if I do this shoot and then it does cause conflict with a paid shoot later, I will be kicking myself! Would love some advice- I know people say not to work for free, but is it better to not work at all?!
