others
there needs to be something interesting
about your face but also very beautiful
which I believe that everyone is
everyone has interesting about
them and even if it’s like even if it’s
not just your maybe it’s your
haircut maybe it’s your eyelashes maybe
it’s your eyelashes maybe it’s your
teeth maybe it’s your eyebrows don’t you
guys remember when Cara Delevingne came
up with them huge eyebrows and now it’s
like a thing everyone wants bushy
eyebrows I want bushy eyebrows so yeah
something interesting that’s interesting
about you that makes you different you
know you want to stand out you really do
want to stand out whether it’s you have
there’s models that you know they look a
little bit strange not strange in a bad
way but like they look different kind of
models I’ll maybe put pictures in but it
could be even like your teeth you might
have like a huge gap in your teeth and
there’s a model that models for fancy
that has a huge gap in the her teeth and
she looks beautiful like you know you
need to just have something interesting
about you that’s the main aim if
anything have something interesting
right now I feel like the measurements
and stuff they are important for high
fashion but high fashion is and
everything you can do be doing
editorials and runway and stuff like
that without their measurement so it’s
not everything I highly highly highly
recommend that you get yourself signed
to a good modeling agency I always say
to go on models calm models calm is
going to be your best friend when sorry
what was a hair model calm is going to
be your best friend when trying to sign
with an agency and it has all the
reliable agencies on there the agencies
that are actually on their agencies that
are reliable agencies that are real
agencies because I know there are a lot
of people that are trying to
advantage of new models trying to get
money out of them another thing as well
that I want to push do not pay for
anything do not pay for anything do not
pay an agent for anything do not pay a
photographer or anything and this is why
I say because usually photographers will
ask for a fee if you’re doing at a shoe
I’ve had to pay for test shoes which is
completely normal as well especially if
it’s a really good photographer however
if you’re just starting out as a model
you do not be booking photographers and
paying them
out do test shoots go out find an agency
your is the person that is
invested in you so what does that mean
that means you are gonna be a good
investment they put their time in
because I believe that time is more
valuable than money so they put in that
time to get you developed to get you
ready to see clients to get you start to
start booking job start making them when
you start making yourself money so a no
agent knowledge your agent is gonna ask
you for money upfront anyway after a
while yeah you are gonna have to pay pay
them to find a new job that you’ll pay a
percentage out of your paycheck for what
other jobs they found you you’ll also
have to pay and this is the thing as
well this is why I say if you’re an
investment because you are gonna be on
their website website fees do a curl
like you have to pay for the website you
have to pay for the books you have to
pay for the cards like them fees will be
taken out of your paycheck when you
start working that’s why I say you’re an
investment so if an agency is asking you
for money up front if the agent is
asking you for money up front they don’t
believe that you have what it takes to
be a model they don’t believe that you
have what it takes to make their money
and that’s what it’s about like an
agency is not going to hire someone that
they don’t believe is going to make
their money because at the end of the
day no one’s gonna put in that time and
money and effort working on an
investment that’s not gonna happen so
obviously whoever’s asking you for money
does not believe in you so do not give
them your money just wait until you find
a good legit agency that believes in you
and believes that you
can work and make the money you know so
that’s the first step and to do this I
always suggest that models go on models
comm there you’ll find that the little
jet agencies you’ll find the agencies
that have good contacts they have to
have good contacts to be on models comm
in my opinion that’s where you’re gonna
find the agencies and I’m going to talk
you through it and basically show you
how you get our models comm it’s pretty
easy I’m gonna leave a link down below
for you guys to check it out I forgot
something
so before you go on to models comm you
want to find an agency that is close to
where you live I always suggest doing
this because it just it’s just gonna
make you life so much easier there’s a
lot of different terms basically your
first agency will be your mother agency
you want your mother agent CPT to be
close to you you want to be in the same
country at least and same in the same
time zone so that if you ever have a
problem and you need to contact your
agency you can contact them and you
don’t have to wait a whole day to get a
respond to take make sure you find the
mother agency which will always be the
first agency you sign with that is
reliable that has contacts and that
lives in your area or in the same
country as you I’d always suggest
finding other agencies and agencies in
general in the closest fashion capital
to you and what I mean by fashion
capital is where like fashion is fashion
modeling is like a thing and it’s it’s
like a thing if that makes any sense so
fashion capitals are New York London
Milan and Paris so if you have say for
example your say for example me I’m from
Manchester so I would personally find a
mother agency in London just because
that’s a fashion capital you know that
they’re gonna have London contact that’s
where most of the clients are that’s
what I mean as well most of the clients
are gonna go to fashion capitals to find
models like London Paris Milan New York
that’s where they’re gonna go they there
are over like smaller fashion capital it
just depends really where you live say
for example if you’re from the
netherlands amsterdam isn’t a fashion
capital but you would want to sign with
an agency in amsterdam if that makes any
sense because amsterdam is like is
there was quite a lot of work there is
whilst that’s what I would personally
suggest but I definitely say make sure
that you find an agency in the same time
zone as you you don’t want to be having
a mother agency in New York and you live
in England and you know it’s like it’s
hard even when my agencies from New York
trying to contact me it’s always like
you know hard to like get things done
really quickly just cuz of the time
difference so now that we have figured
out where we want our agency we figured
out the closest like Maine fashion
capital towards our main city that has
agencies there we want to go on
tomorrow’s comm and we want to go to the
agency section they from the Netherlands
and you want to find yourself an agency
in Amsterdam because that’s the closest
fashion capital to you so we’ll go down
to models comm find Amsterdam and then
it will show up all the agencies all the
agencies but I renounce to them that
have good clients have they’re reliable
they’re good agencies they’re well-known
we will go on to that website have a
look what kind of agency they are
whether they’re more like high fashion
editorial or commercial also I would
suggest making sure that you know or
kind of have a gist of what kind of
modeling you fit into now not every kind
of modeling is gonna work for you high
fashion might work for you but then
commercial might not vice-versa like
make sure that you sign with an agency
that’s in your niche if that if there is
even a need if you don’t have the
requirements for high fashion chances
are you’re not going to work well in
high fashion and the most annoying thing
would be for you to sign with a high
fashion agency them saying you
everything go well but then you are just
sitting on their books because they’re
very high fashion most of the clients
that go to their high fashion clients
looking for high-fashion models and
y’all just sat in the box no one’s
booking you because your commercial and
you’re not making money and you’re just
sat there main thing is is to be working
like you don’t want to just be your
model you want to work like you want to
book jobs you want to make money you
want to pay your bills right so make
sure
that you have kind of a gist of where
you fit into ever that’s high fashion
commercial or I might try and do a video
kind of breaking it down and like
telling you guys like the different like
how to kind of spot what kind of agency
is best for you terms of whether it’s
commercial or and high-fashion but once
you’ve figured that out there’s a lot to
figure out before you get on to becoming
a model I’d say not to worry too much
about that as well just because the
agent if you do get signed but agent
will know where you work best then you
know but there are some agents that will
just take take you on and they’ll have
you just disappearing in their books
just stop they’re doing nothing so just
be careful about that as well so once
we’ve done that find a couple agencies
that we like don’t just go with one
agency don’t just apply some one agency
and think oh like this is my dream
agency this of agency that I want to go
with the chances are big agencies aren’t
gonna hire you they might if you’re
really really like something really
special say like Kate Moss kind of thing
that I’m talking about special because
obviously we’re all special but yeah if
you like Kate Moss material then
obviously you will get signed Bob not
all of us are Kate Moss so chances are
if you’re applying to like huge agent
agencies and you’re not already with an
agency chances are they’re just gonna
overlook your application because there
were a lot of girls up trying to apply
to those agencies and they’re probably
quite strict with that but some agencies
don’t like to have a lot of girls on
their books Eva because they like to
invest their time and invest their money
into the girls like they have so try and
start with a smaller agency but not too
small that in the sense that they’re not
very well known and they don’t book a
lot of jobs but try and start with
something a little bit smaller I’ll say
Jack I need some lip balm I’m sorry so
yeah you’re going to want to apply to a
couple agencies so you don’t want to be
just be sat on an agency’s books doing
nothing
we want to make money – so you need to
make sure that you’re picking the right
agency for you now when we found a few
agencies in our region we want to fill
out the form now to do this I’m gonna
talk you guys through it so it’ll ask
you questions like your height weight
shoe size dress size all of that stuff
in the u.s. they have different like
metrics but I think they use centimeters
whereas in the UK we use inches and also
in Europe the use centimeters what as
well you just gonna grab yourself a
measuring tape or you can go out and
just get yourself measured by some
someone I don’t know you can probably
just go out and get yourself measured as
well but I’m gonna show you guys a
diagram of where you want to measure to
get the measurement so you want to do
your boss do you want to do they’ll ask
you for your cup size as well it’s a
completely normal and so you’ll do your
boss you cup you waist your hips and
also your height as well either in
centimeters or inches obviously check
what you’re getting your measurements in
and then and then if you need to you can
convert it on and Google it’s pretty
easy
they’ll probably also tell you like
their minimum height requirements on
their website as well they’ll ask a lot
of questions as well just to get to know
you a little bit they’ll ask about
hobbies and stuff like that if you do
have a hobby that is amazing I feel like
everyone should have a knob hobby anyway
y’all gonna acting you take acting
classes or you’re at the gym a lot or
you do swimming ballet and yoga you do
horse riding
whatever your hobbies are less than
below they are gonna make you stand out
they’re gonna make you something
different to what they already have I’ve
been a million jobs and castings where
they want actors I’ve done Upton jobs
I’ve done dance well not dancing jobs
but um commercial jobs where I’ve had to
do being able to do a little dance and
stuff like that yes very like it’s
something that’s gonna add like a little
month to your application it’s gonna
make you stand out it’s gonna make them
think Oh like I actually had like a jock
man for a model that could swim and do
yoga Roger
gnostics or ballet or dance or sing or
act or you know like these requirements
do come in from clients and if you ask
someone that has the model fit the model
face and you can dance you can sing or
you can act that’s just something extra
and if you have hobbies like that I
would definitely definitely recommend
that you put them into the hobby section
and let them know like let them know
that there’s more to you than just a
pretty face you know like it’s always
important so I definitely suggest
writing some hobbies down and sometimes
I’ll also ask about your personality
you’ll say something like tell us a lot
bit about you say this is a time to
shine like this is the time to shine in
your application you want to promote
yourself you wanna the things that
you’re good at the thing that you enjoy
the things that you think will make you
a better model then put that in the
application let them know that you are
different you’re unique you have your
own hobbies you how you like you enjoy
things definitely add that in there so
the next is the pictures now this is not
Instagram this is not YouTube and the
picture quality has to be good now we
can get good quality pic quality
pictures from our iPhones we can get
them from like dear yes the SLR camera I
would say have an iPhone that is quite
up-to-date maybe like iPhone 11 – 11
iPhone 11 or like newer
cuz they do give up and really good
pictures or maybe your friend
your friend has it or you’re someone
around you might have a good iPhone
camera that you can borrow and get the
pictures off of but I definitely suggest
having good quality pictures these are
very important the pictures are very
important these are the things that are
gonna you know catch the Booker the
person that’s dealing with the
application form these are the things
that going to catch their eye that these
are the things are gonna determine
whether you can be a model or not so
make sure the pictures are clear make
sure that they’re good quality make sure
that you’re bearing good clothing with
correct clothing make sure you has right
make sure your skin is right make sure
your skin is looking
I do a skincare routine I have a
skincare routine on my channel but
there’s plenty of skincare routines out
there on YouTube do a face mask like
make sure everything is looking on point
like the pictures are important and I’ll
just talk about the pictures a little
bit for you guys obviously the good
quality camera doesn’t have to be a like
camera camera like YouTube camera but
like a good quality phone camera
probably not Android oh cool for me but
just good quality pictures okay when you
take the picture you want to make sure
whatever is behind you is clean you want
to make sure that you stand in against a
light wall a brick wall and something
that’s plain something that’s all one
shade something that’s not too it’s not
gonna take much from the picture
something that’s pretty much just play
you like even for me I wouldn’t stand
here I would stand like at a white wall
or I stand in front of my blinds because
it’s all one color also natural lighting
you don’t want to do it in like a dark
space you want it to be light and bright
I’m gonna leave some examples right here
for you guys to see these are the kinds
of pictures that you want you want them
to be bright you want them to be able to
see your face your skin so in terms of
hair I would say if you are a black
model if you are like me and you have
relaxed hair obviously I’m wearing a wig
right now but I would not suggest
wearing a wig for modeling just because
they’re very hard to make look natural
and the agents want to see your natural
beauty they want to see what you look
like naturally they want to see you
natural skin they want to see your
natural hair they want to see your
natural body in natural poses in terms
of hair if you’re a black model I’ll
always suggest if you have relaxed hair
that’s kind of shot like mine mine is
like shoulder length if you have
shoulder length relaxed hair I’d
definitely suggest leaking it back into
a lot of pony I’ll show you guys a
picture of what my hair looks like sleek
back into a pony and how I work the best
I literally work the best with that hair
like I don’t work with wigs I just like
to use wigs hair in there
because I don’t put heat on my hair and
it’s just it’s fun for me but in terms
of modeling it’s a no-no like it’s a
no-go I know there are a lot of models
out there black models out there that do
bad wigs and stuff but they’re having
their wigs professionally done like
unless you’re having your wigs done like
Naomi Campbell or by Naomi Campbell’s
hairstylist don’t bother with it because
these wigs are very difficult to make
look good on camera and I’m not talking
about iPhone camera or this camera I’m
talking about HD like TV commercial big
huge video camera movie cameras it’s not
gonna look natural it’s just not unless
you have someone a list stylist doing
your head and it’s just not gonna work
and also it’s better to go in there with
your natural self because that’s what
they want to see at the end of the day
and you’re probably be asked to take off
so might as well just don’t come with it
you have longer hair say your hair is
like oops hair are just a little bit
longer than shoulder length
I would suggest keeping it down for some
of the shots because you’ll be asked to
do a closer you’ll be asked to do a
profile which is basically when you turn
and look to the side you’ll also be
asked to do like a mid length and a long
shot so for the close-up if you have
long hair
I’d suggest and for some of the shots
anyway get in a ponytail and putting it
into a little bubble and that’s what
I’ve seen the girls have to do for
cousins in general anyway if they have
long hair they always get asked to put
it into a ponytail just because their
agent and the clients they want to see
your facial structure because it is
important and they want to see just they
just want to see you know definitely
suggest that as well but if you have say
for example you have natural natural
hair so you have a little afro and I
definitely suggest because it is
something that is unique it’s something
that’s different it’s not something that
a lot of models have most black models
have really short hair or they have it
like flat down to the bucs
but some girls also have their hair in
like little afros as well so if you have
natural hair there now to suggest
getting your after a while just because
it is something different if you can
also get it back into a lot of fun as
well while you’re getting your
pictures that was also good but if you
can’t then I think it’s fine because
also that’s pretty much off your face
anyway if you have like this type of
hair beverage sure or long and I
definitely suggest keeping the hair
pushed pushed behind the ears
another thing is no makeup and I know I
do have a video on my channel no makeup
makeup look for models but I would
suggest that more for castings rather
than these pictures these pictures are
different the agency here wants to see
you natural it is a possibility if you
do wear makeup to these things say you
get a callback and you wear a makeup on
the pictures and you get a callback they
will give you a makeup wipe and ask you
to take it off so let’s just not have
that drama and take the pictures without
makeup if you feel comfortable I’ll
definitely say though if you do not feel
comfortable in your own skin modeling is
not a job for you like I just want to be
completely honest completely transparent
if you’re not comfortable in your own
skin if you’re not comfortable taking a
MegaPath not wearing wigs modeling is
not for you like modeling is just it’s a
call right that you need to be confident
in your own skin and agencies are gonna
see that clients are gonna see that and
that’s what’s gonna book you the job so
you need to be confident over important
thing are the clothes that you’re
wearing in these pictures I get let me
just put this out there please do not
send these agencies pictures in your
underwear
like we’re not doing that mm Tony I get
so many questions of girls asking me is
it okay for me to send these pictures
and they send me like pictures of them
in that wonder where no it’s not first
of all it’s that is not a Polaroid
picture that’s an Instagram picture
second of all you don’t want to you
don’t want to give them that although
clothing shouldn’t be that should what
like shouldn’t be a representation of
you like your your your own
representation of you but like do not
send these agencies pictures in your
underwear bikinis no underwear no put on
clothes like you don’t know these
receiving these pictures you don’t know
like what they’re gonna do with the
picture so make sure that you’re clothed
please girls and guys like I get this
question a lot so I want to put it out
there and I want to tell you know it’s
not okay don’t do that don’t do that
so for the clothes I would always you
guys know my wallet oh by now I wear
black eye it’s just what I like she’s
what I feel more comfortable in just
like my goal to pretty much everything
in my wardrobe is black most of the
things in my wardrobe are black anyway
so I just wear black either a black or
white top whether it’s a vest top
whether it’s a long sleeve top like this
this is also fine and but something like
this body suits are great even if it’s
the best top of a tank top whatever you
guys call it or t-shirt long-sleeved
I’ll definitely suggest for wearing a
t-shirt just because they want to see
don’t want to see all your skin what
they want to see some skin they want to
see the shape of your art they want to
see your your frame basically and so I
would suggest wearing like a t-shirt or
a body suit or t-shirt body sue that
would be great as well for the pants
jeans leggings shorts and also Eva black
or white or blue for denim jeans for the
jeans if you do decide to wear jeans
don’t wear up jeans and this is just
something that is just advice that I
personally got from my agencies in the
past as well not to wear ripped jeans to
customs and stuff just because it does
look even though modeling isn’t
modelling cousins aren’t really
professional it does look a little bit
on
fashioned all and a little bit I don’t
know what the word is safe our model in
for customs but these Polaroids for open
calls and so you don’t know where rip
dreams you want to look presentable even
though it’s very casual you still want
to look clean and put together also you
can wear like leather pants but like
tight leather pants leather pants jeans
that’s a nice look as well I’m gonna
throw some like polaroid pictures that i
think a god on here also suggest for the
polaroid pictures you guys check how
model Polaroids it’s an Instagram page
I’ll leave them links below as well and
this is basically like the perfect
Polaroids by models who assign and that
work well so to basically do what
they’re doing
oh also the pose in you don’t need to
pose for these pictures anyways but when
you sign with an agency and you start
taking like different Polaroids better
Polaroids and they’ll probably like put
you in poses themselves but in terms of
so when I stand straight look into the
lens no smiling no laughing just turn
and take all the pictures that you need
to take no hands on the head this is an
Instagram you’ll need to be doing any of
that just literally straight picture
take the picture to take the picture
once you’ve done that you’re pretty much
all ready to send your application form
off to the agency after you’ve set these
applications off do not stress do not
sit there and keep clicking checking
your emails wondering when are they
getting back to you just send the
applications go off about your day
forget about it if you get a call back
if you get an email that’s great if not
apply to new agencies try again maybe do
something else with your look get a cock
you know maybe try something else with
your look well it’s not the end of the
world you can always send different
applications to different agencies as
well so but yeah that’s pretty much it
for this video also if you do end up
getting a car back congratulations
you’re on your journey to becoming a
fashion model if you’re underage make
sure that you are being safe make sure
you bring in a guardian or a
with you if you’re underage if you’re
not underage make sure you’re letting
someone know where you’re going and
keeping your Maps on or like your
location on making sure that you know
when you go in and usually as well just
to keep in mind if say you’ve applied to
an agency in the passage to come down
usually the agency will ask you to go
and the agent will ask you to go in and
meet them at the agency so make sure you
go and check the location and everything
make sure that the location is added up
to where the agency’s location is and if
it’s not if they’re asking you to meet
them are a random I don’t know random
place random cafe or something like that
make sure that you call the agency
yourself and double-check make sure that
it’s legit make sure that you are
meeting the right people be safe
do not trust anyone if they’re asking
you to meet them outside the agency it
could be a mother it could be a model
agent even make sure you call the agency
and you know double-check ask them if
this is the right thing to do ask them
like if this is like legit make sure you
double check before you just go and get
on your jolly way you know just make
sure that you say make sure someone
knows where you’re going and be relaxed
