Prestige Modeling Agency Expectations from All Models


Besides needing the physical requirements to be a model you also need a personality for it. Professional modeling is a tough business. Only certain people can stand up to the hard work schedule and stress that modeling demands.

Love the Show - When you hear, 'It's show time' do you come alive? If you love performing and being in front of an audience, whether it's a room full of people or the eye of the camera, you will enjoy modeling. If it is something you enjoy you are quicker to work hard at it, take greater risk, and work through the hardships that come along. If you love the work, you will love your life. If you hate the work, you'll be miserable.

Hard Working - Modeling takes a lot of hard work and stamina. A photo shoot can sometimes last all day & night. And at the end of the day you still have to do all the stuff needed to keep you in shape and looking beautiful.

Projection - You need to be able to development your personality, your charm, and your sex appeal. You need to be able to sell yourself to be able to sell the product.

Extrovert - You will be meeting new people and walking into new situations. You will be performing before strangers. You need to like new experiences, challenges, and meeting new people. If you are shy and reserved you will forever be uncomfortable modeling.

Good Self Esteem - Be a little bit of an egomaniac. Good self-esteem can help pick you up and get you through those tough times.

Ambition - Careers in modeling won't come easy. You will have to go through trials and tribulations before you achieve success. The ambition and desire to succeed and achieve your goals in modeling will help you over the temporary set backs that come along.

Self-Starter - As a model you are an independent businessperson in charge of your own career. You must be able to take charge of you. This includes your training, your physical upkeep, your professional practices, your finances, and your life.

In Control - You need to be able to control your health (size and fitness), your body for posing, and your emotions for acting them out, and your life so you show up to sessions on time.

Organized - You have to keep track of your schedule, your finances, your modeling materials, and your body's up keep.
