When submitting your photos to the agency for consideration, all you need is a digital camera.  There is no need for professional photos at this point; if any agency decides to sign you they will guide you to the photographers who will be able to take the photos necessary to market you to prospective clients.

When taking your digital snapshots, make sure you take the photos in front of a plain background; a plain white wall usually works perfectly.  Make sure to take close up photos, mid length photos, and full length photos.  Include smiley and non smiley photos, as well as profile shots.

Try not to be stiff when you are posing for the camera.  If you can have a different body position in each photo this shows the agency that you know how to move! It can be as simple as moving your arms or tilting your head.  Treat these digitals the same way you would treat a catalog shoot!  Also, remember to relax your lips….do not purse them into a “Zoolander” type model pose please!!   If this confuses you, take a look at some catalogs and study how the models pose and hold their bodies.

Do not wear a ton of makeup! Please try to be as natural as possible, tons of makeup and overly orange or tanned skin turns us off usually.

Wear something stylish but flattering to your body. Usually simple is better. I would recommend wearing a bikini, or a black leotard or tank top with skinny jeans and heels when submitting to agencies.   Wear something that shows off your body without looking trashy or vampy. Always wear heels in your digitals!

Please email your photos to info@fiercemodels.com if you’re interested in having me as your booker!

Good luck!
