Tips: Modeling in Sacramento
Commercial
Make no mistake. Commercial modeling
is the biggest category, including assignments for magazines, advertisement,
as well as any product or service you can think of. It would be wrong
to think of a commercial model as someone who appears extraordinary.
Most really look like anyone else.
Promotional
Promotional modeling is the what most
models are making money at these days: store openings, selling, and
representing products in the mixed company or company marketplace.
Sacramento modeling is often about parties and promotions for bands
or venues. If you are personable you will have success here.
One more note about handsomness and beauty. Photographers, casting
directors, modeling agents, and managers are all looking for something specific. Unique.
Working with your photographer on it, you'll bring it out and create
a demand for your services and talent. Ask thier advice on what shots
they think are the best and have the most impact.
One last time:
Modeling is not a Beauty Contest.
Don't take a Modeling school course!
This is a
pitfall to avoid. Most - and likely all - respectable agencies aren't
expecting or wanting that experience.
For Exposure
Put your portfolio on some
of the popular modeling sites, like these below:
www.glamourmodels.com
www.onetalentsource.com
www.modelscouts.com
www.blufire.com
And for comp cards (zed cards) consider www.compcardexpress.com/
Sacramento Photographers - Paris in the Fall included - are often
interested in a "time for prints" trade (TFP), where the model and
photographer set up a no fee shoot. Approaching a few different photographers
in this way is a smart step on the way to getting yourself a rich
variety of images, a great portfolio, and saving hundreds.
