cutxpaste, when you hit the bigtime, you need to let us know. If your modeling is anything like your energy and enthusiasm on this board, you're going to need a thread of your own.B)

Today i went to this model agency (attractive.hu) cause i got no reply and i wanted to show myself in real. She took some photos of me and asked if i could work abroad. Then she said she shows my photos to colleagues and call me back later..
I'm not sure they accept me, but it's good at least she took photos and asked where i could work. If i'm so bad she would have sent me away right when i enter the agency i suppose.

^ congrats

that's cool, Sophie

I was an idiot and forgot to send full body pictures to the woman at Vision Does anyone have any tips to make the pics turn out well?

 

[cuteshoes215]

white wall, no flash, stand with one leg straight and the other slightly bent and toward the camera. it makes your thighs look little and your legs look long. if you don't have to worry about that, do just a simple arms at the side stance.

that's cool, Sophie

I've heard a few...

Take the picture looking up (this gives the illusion of longer legs)
Push your shoulders back and your head forward.
Do not tilt your head back. Instead of making your neck look longer, it makes you look like you have a double chin.

(Some tips by Gisele in some book Sorry they are not too good))

 

[cutxpaste]

Cool guys, thanks for the tips.... I just took them but I can't find my camera cord to send them to her

well I haven't been on here in about 2 months.....

A lot has happened. I went on a few open calls..Request, Click, and Vision. I didn't really get much feed back from the first two...but when I went to Vision, George said that he wanted me to take better pics and gave me a business card of a photographer here in NYC. His name is Jospeh Bleu. I went to him and get pics taken and resbumitted them, and George told me that August (last month) is a month where their men board is frozen for the month of August and to get my pics out there in September...

So that's all that I have done..not much but at least I have really great, professional pictures....no makeup or any photoshopping!!

 

[KhaoticKharma]

^ Congratulations and good luck!

 

[city girl]

KhaoticKarma have you heard from any agencies yet?

 

[KhaoticKharma]

Not yet... I'm not too concerned, though, because it's fashion week and it might take them a bit longer, because they're sending out show cards and girls on go-sees.

 

[devon_jay]

Next in Toronto is interested i've email them a bunch of digitals and they want me to come meet them next week!!

 

[cutxpaste]

^congrats!

 

[SophieKawaii]

Usually after how many days do the agencies reply to photos? Maybe a stupid question but i'm curious what time does it take in average.

 

[Ceptuouse]

^ i guess there is no average really, it all depends on how busy they are. so now, coming up to fashion week, they will be busier than usual. but when they arent thinking about fashion weeks...i can be anything from the next morning, to a week later...there isnt really a timelimit to expect

dont give up luck though
