Amateur model? Hi, I am an amateur model who is just starting out. Do you have any tips that would make me successful? | Join an online service like One Model Place and do TFP (time for prints) to build your portfolio through pro photographers - it's also a great way to build a good reputation.
Do not be late, do not act like a prima donna/diva, be prepared, bring extra clothes/etc., follow instructions. Do not sleep with the photographers thinking it will get you more jobs, word gets around and we all know who trades sex for sessions - and they aren't taken seriously. (This doesn't preclude actual relationships, those happen.) | Does anyone know the process for becoming an amateur model? I don't want to be a model but i think i have what it takes to do a shoot every once in awhile to make some quick cash. Does anyone know how to get started? | firstly you have to take this serioulsy....its not something which you do as part time stuff. You need to keep a repute and a specific style for getting good money and name..
As starting point you should start by making a photo-shoot album. Because how you look in mirror is different from how you look in photos.
Once you have that send it to your local fashion houses..
Good luck | What is a reasonable hourly rate for an amateur model? Photographers have started offering to pay me but I have no idea what kind of fee is reasonable. | It really depends on the type of modeling, and the final use of the photos.
Ask the photographers what they will offer first, that would be a good start.
I'm assuming it's for portfolio work, or practice and not for commercial work. With clothes on, basic stuff, anywhere from 15-50 an hour is decent. The range is from where you live, and the amount of experience you have. If you're fumbling trying to get the "right" look, then 50 an hour would be too much. If you can change outfits in 2 minutes or less, know how to convey a look well, and live in a major city, 50 an hour is good. If you can do all that, and live in a smaller city, 25-35 an hour is good.
I've had "beginner" models want 40-50 an hour, pass. A lot of the work as a beginning model is TFP, so you will be competing against models that do it for free. Make sure you can offer better images and looks than someone else. | How much does a amateur model get paid? My wife and I starting a business that revolves around hosiery, tights, leggings, pantyhose some lingerie ect...
rather then get sued for copyright infringement for stealing pictures... we thought we'd start off small and have out our "leg" models for the web site.
The thing is, what would models expect to be paid for something like this?
Thanks! | | For a commercial project like this, I would expect to pay a model between $50 and $100 per hour. | Where can I get discovered as an amateur model? Okay, so I want to be in the fashion business. Probably nothing catwalk, maybe catalog or something for a hig0end designer, or just WORKING for one. But where can I get discovered? I've been in a magazine before (kind of a tweeny-bopper one) and I've been accepted by Kim Flowers. However, we didn't have the money at the time, so I need something cheap and easy, if possible. | You shouldn't pay out ANY money to be a model, except for lunch and travel unless you bill a client for it. DO NOT PAY TO JOIN AN AGENCY - EVER! If any agency wants to bill you, tell them to take the fee out of your pay for the first couple of jobs they get you ;o)
Do not pay for pictures either, good clear home snaps of you are fine, you'll need a head shot, a three quarter length shot and a full shot. Also make a CV of you stats to send to agencies, a good place to start is to join www.net-model.com and read the forums, good luck!
Experience - Motorsport Model, UK and Europe | Will an amateur model having a manager put off agencies? A coworker is an aspiring model, and I am an aspiring talent manager.. perfect match. So we've been working together and getting a portfolio together, and I plan to help set her up with an agency (an agent finds their clients work, a manager helps with his client's day-to-day career business). If I position myself as the point of contact for agencies wishing to reach her, will that put them off? Do agencies want to also manage their clients' careers, or do they understand their clients will hire managers as well? | | I agree with the previous answer. Managers just point the model in the right direction. Agencies perfectly understand that most have managers. I am an actress/singer/model with both a manager and an agent, and my agency understands that I am going to have a manager to help, well, manage my career. So, you're client will be fine. | What model/amateur rocket setup is capable of reaching 100,000 feet? Those fanatics with 10 foot rockets launch in the desert, but how high do they go with their $25 - $500 solid fuel motors? | | I noticed that your question has gone unanswered for the past few days and so I thought I'd offer you some help. Perhaps the link below will help you find your answer. | How can I find a model (female) for an amateur no nude photoshooting? I'm an amateur photographer from Gloucestershire.

www.modelmayhem.com | I have a question, is there anywere you can get a job being a masturbation model or sell amateur video? Is there any were you can get a job being a masturbation model or sell amateur video?
I'm not intending on this being a lude question, i am very interested, and dont know much about it. Were would i find information, about doing films, photo's, or selling amateur video? I am sorry if you find this post offensive. | I design free websites for all types of models, and the first thing I would say to you is that are you REALLY sure you want to do this as soon as you do your first shoot those image can be view by anyone including friends and maybe even family, they may also be around for may years to come when you are older and have moved on, as long as you are okay with that and have thought about it properly.
I am currently working with a woman in a very similar position the safest way to get work is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. WARNING if these images are of an adult nature most image host will not let you host them and if they do they make the images public so read the small print or host them yourself.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you (we have our own server so the images will be hidden and never made public). This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
Also if you do go for audition make sure you read the paperwork because many of these places will put in clauses meaning they can use the photos/video they take in the audition and use them on there websites without paying you a penny. Just be careful. Even if you don’t want me to design a site for you I also help the more adult models by checking out agencies and companies that they are interested in to make sure they legit and there are not lots of people who have had a bad experience with them
Hopefully this information is helpful to you |
