WHAT SHOULD ASPIRING MODELS DO AFTER THEIR PORTFOLIO SHOOT?
You should carry a good portfolio done by a professional photographer. So with your homework complete, you now have to follow these simple guidelines given by The Bombay Studio in Mumbai, India.
1) Reach out to the Casting Agencies
Take a step forward and give your portfolio to good casting directors. Go for the auditions well prepared. Research the market well and look for reputed agencies. Don’t hesitate to approach the right people at the right time.
2) Be well-groomed
As said,” Grooming is the essence of elegance”. Make grooming and self-care an integral part of your regime. From the day you make your first impression at the auditions, you should maintain your looks throughout – on and off the camera. Grooming is a form of self-respect; so eat well, dress up well, and pay attention to your needs and image. It’s only then that the world will notice you!
3) Be realistic; Be yourself
‘You are naturally beautiful when you are yourself’. Your folio should be more realistic flaunting your raw and natural looks. Don’t hide your dusky complexion behind layers of makeup or your plus size by that photoshop effect. Realistic and confident people are welcome in the industry.
4) Do not give up
Patience and perseverance always pay. You might face rejection many times but don’t let your morale go down. Just lift up yourself, practice hard, and keep trying for auditions. A good photographer will give you links to the right modeling agencies and casting agents.
5) Beware of fake claims
Many fake agencies have popped up in big cities like Delhi and Mumbai. Beware of these frauds who offer more money or work than you deserve as a fresher. Don’t fall in the rat trap and try to be in the network of good people.
Be Positive, Be Professional, and above all Be Passionate!
