    If is your dream go for it. Be prepared. Have a portfolio. Have manners. Have an open ear for any constructive critiques. Eye contact great handshake great smile. Follow direction. Stay healthy. Have other ways to support yourself while modeling and take some classes in a field you are interested in.

    I’m definitely using modeling as a way to fund my schooling. I knew it was going to be difficult going to school and traveling to different places. It’s also a nice source of income to the other things I do. I’m more wanting to be a singer or maybe actress but modeling is fun for now.

    Hi. thank you so much for all these videos. I've just started to attend a modelling school. And during a free photoshoot a photographer asked me if I could work with her and what was my rate per hour. I didn't know what to say, cuz this is the first time when someone asks me to work and get paid as a model. The question is is it ok to charge the photographer per hour behind my modelling school's back? Btw, there is no contract or anything like that

  • @jasonpittmon2036
    @jasonpittmon2036 4 роки тому +1

    That back-dated web fee sounds sketchy bro. Unless they continued to use your image they don't have grounds to charge you for services "not" rendered. I've had a few renewals from agencies I'm no longer with and at no time did they include fees outside of the contracted 20%. Perhaps there was some sort of "agreement" there but outside of that no sir.
    Regarding pay, your Tier of modeling dictates your pay.

      You can do other types of modeling, but for women runway models are usually age 16 - 28...however, the industry is changing and the requirements are becoming more lenient. You see Naomi Campbell is turning 50 this year and she's still one of the top runway models working

      No. Never. If they ask you for money, it’s a scam.

    I wish she didn't interrupt him so often. Jeez. Everytime I try to hear a point he's about to make, she jumps in. Such a bad habit.

      The CSciWorker I feel she’s just excited to talk about what she does, and she’s saying valuable stuff so makes an interesting video
