KIModeling tips for beginners :
1️⃣ Start with polas. Natural photos, simple fitted clothes, good daylight. An iPhone is enough. That’s exactly what agencies ask for.
Tip: Look at the polas of signed models on agency websites and get inspired by their poses and outfits. Keep it simple and clean. 📸
2️⃣ Build your portfolio. In the beginning, I did test shoots and collaborations to grow my book and I still do! I started with beauty because it was easier, then expanded to other types of shoots.
Tip: Connect with photography or makeup students. They often need models for their exams or portfolios. 💓
3️⃣ Use social media. Keep your profile public and share your work. Instagram can help you get opportunities.
Tip: Follow models in the same market (and city if possible) and see who they work with. Look at who they shoot with and how they built their career. Get inspired, don’t copy.📱
4️⃣ Know your options. Modeling isn’t for everyone, that’s the reality. But there are many different types of modeling.
Tip: If you’re not the right height for fashion, you can explore commercial modeling, parts modeling (hands, legs), or silhouette work. ✨
5️⃣ Rejection is normal. Sometimes it’s not about you, it’s timing, market needs, or what the client is looking for. Every model has a different journey. 💞
