What are Agents Looking for?

Modelling agencies are interested in three (3) things.

  • Your face structure and shape.
  • Your physique (muscles etc.) and how your body is built.
  • If you got "it". You have to be self confident and be able to show it. Have no fear of showing your body and have the right look in your eyes.

With these three things in mind you should compose your photos.

  • Take your photos in good lighting conditions to minimize shadows.
  • Take photos of your head from the sides and the front, apply natural makeup if needed.
  • Also take or submit everyday photos of yourself taken just not for this purpose.
  • As one of the three things listed above is your body, you should take pictures where you clearly can see your physique and body structure. Take these photos wearing little or even none clothing. (Note that wearing no clothing can be inappropriate at some times, but also beneficial at some times to prove that you're confident).

Take the photos in as many angles as possible and you should try different poses. Look at a male model website or in clothing magazines for ideas.
  • Submit a lot of photos, you want them to think that you've got a big ego.
  • Show them that you love your body, take photos in tempting poses or even go with nudity. Make sure your photos are handled with care though!
  • Copy the faces and poses of famous Male Models, it's OK you're in the modelling business!
