Capri Models – New Year’s Resolution – Become a Model!

Perhaps you’ve been thinking for a while that you might want to be a model. But you haven’t really pursued the idea because you haven’t known where to start and how the industry works. But your new year’s resolution is to take your first steps as a model.

So where to start? Capri Models’ intro to the industry…

Well, the first thing to do is think about what sort of modelling you want to do. Most people think of catwalk models when they think of modelling, but fashion shows are only suitable for a very small minority of models, and there is a lot wider variety of modelling work out there than that.

If you’re not as tall, you may be more suited to catalogue or commercial modelling. This work can be much more plentiful and flexible and it pays well.

Or, if you have an unusual look – perhaps lots of tattoos and you like dying your hair in bold colours, then the alternative model market is growing as more clothing lines spring up to target smaller minority interest groups.

Another often overlooked sector of modelling is body part modelling. There is quite a lot of demand for models with specifically amazing body parts, such as hands, feet, eyes and ears, and some people make a good living by modelling just a single part of their body!

If you’re aged 12 – 16 you’ll be considering teen modelling, which is a whole industry in itself. Remember, teen models have to be professional – modelling is a job and requires a mature person. Clients are not going to have time for pouting and temper tantrums.

You’ll also want to consider whether you might like to try freelance modelling. This is where you deal with the business side of modelling yourself and don’t worry about joining an agency. Or you may pursue freelance if you don’t have any luck with agencies.
