Do You Want To Break Into The Modelling Industry?

Modelling Advice From 

Nigeria's Number 1 Modelling Platform.

Breaking in to the industry... 

Everybody wants to model, but not everyone has the potential to model. The key is to find out if modelling is right for you before you decide to approach anyone and everyone out there.

Aside from being scouted there are only two ways of getting into the modelling industry: either by joining an agency, or working as a freelance model. For either way you will need a portfolio of professional pictures to promote yourself with. You can’t model without a portfolio

A models portfolio should be suitable for the type of model you are. Your modelling portfolio should highlight your good angles; show versatility, ability and scope. It is an essential tool of the trade without which no model can find work.

In a competitive industry Nigeria Models provide you the opportunity to work with industry professionals to create your model CV (portfolio) to present yourself as a professional model to model agencies and companies that are looking for new faces.

Once you have a professional modelling portfolio you can start marketing yourself straight away.  

Modelling agencies

There are hundreds of agencies around the UK. It is important to approach the right agencies that are looking for the type of model you are. Therefore matching the requirements before making an application and getting disappointed.

Model agencies find work for their models by representing/presenting them to clients such as designers and photographers. Your agent will promotes you and finds modelling jobs, and takes a percentage of 20% - 33% from your earnings.

Before you start approaching agencies you will need to establish the type of modelling you are best suited to given your look, age, height and body type.

A Model’s Personality

Modelling is very fun and very glamorous and there is certainly good potential for earning a lot of money in a very short amount of time however it is not that easy.

Modelling is a life style and as a model you need to be able to groom yourself all the time. Looking after your skin, your hair, lots of beauty sleep and consuming lots of water and no alcohol or smoking which can affect your skin.

You will be marketing yourself to lots of different agencies and companies and it is important to understand that some agencies will like your look and some will not. This does not mean you cannot model. You need to be able to have thick skin and get used to rejections.

There is a constant search for new faces and every season they will be looking for different looks depending on the trends and depending on the fashion industry.

The most important thing is to be determined, focused and keep on applying.

Remember, the hardest part is the first stages of getting yourself in to the modelling industry, once you start modelling it gets easier and easier as you will be more recognized within the industry and understand how it works.

Models: What’s the Best Way to Get Rid of a Double Chin?

 Double chin is said to be a layer of subcutaneous fat around the neck that sags down and creates a wrinkle, making the owner appear to have a second chin. It is most common on people who are elderly or obese, but lately it seem to turn out to be the  .....

....The Model’s Nightmare 

                                 This is a picture of Queen Latifah caught with Double chin.

The Model’s Nightmare in Pictures? A Double Chin!
I’ve seen them too many times in my photography studio and a double chin is something no model wants to see reflected back to him or her in the final photos or worse — in the mirror!

This is why I’m putting together these quick tips giving what many consider the best way to get rid of a double chin so read carefully.

First, what causes it?
There is no one answer because it can be caused in a lot of different circumstances. Yes, this is one physical trait that you could blame on your parents. Other double chin causes include being overweight,  poor posture, or maybe not doing the right fitness exercise routine.

Below, you’ll find a few things you can do to help you lose of these problems and keep than annoying chin challenge away for good.

Gum Chewing?
Yes, I said gum chewing! Believe it or not there is one very unusual method that might be effective at helping people get that double chin gone. Exercise for this problem often imitates the exact movement you make with your chin while chewing gum so it makes perfect sense that it could help reduce or become the eliminator of your double chin.

Tip: Make sure it’s sugar free gum to keep the calorie count low for your next photo shoot and to help keep your teeth healthy – these are important too!

Exercising
Another possible solution lies in a regiment of chin exercises to work into your daily weight loss routine. In fact, if you are really dead serious about reducing your little “chin double” you’ll want to use these exercises several times throughout the day.

Doing these exercises in short increments and doing them frequently at different times of the day have shown to increase the effect – not to mention less stressful than one long, drawn out session. The good part is that you can work these easily into your day without much inconvenience.

Resorting to Cosmetic Surgery
Although many times a last resort, one very effective method of removing a double chinis, of course choosing to undertake cosmetic surgery. Although double chin reduction is a fairly common procedure in the medical field the cost can cause many people to avoid using the procedure – especially when there are other available, and more affordable options for treatment.

If You’ve Got the Time …
Yes, the latter remedies takes up time out of your day.  Choosing the double chin cosmetic surgery option is much quicker unless, of course you think about the amount of time it takes to earn the money you’ll need in order to go through the procedure.

Get Rid of Your Double Chin Before It Happens

Just as with almost everything else in life, preventing those two chins will almost always be the best cure  – instead of having to pursue correction. If the thoughts of your having one bothers you then you should take preliminary measures to avoid the causes mentioned above such as poor posture and a lazy (for lack of a better word) lifestyle.

After all, you are a model and you should be taking good care of your body anyhow – the agents and many photographers will demand it (You can’t always depend on Photoshop when you go for an interview).

Now, I know that there is absolutely no way to get away from what you have inherited but you can start today with some simple actions to begin reducing the problem – or, put in a more positive perspective -  prevent one from happening in the first place!

Now that you know more about getting rid of a double chin, you can begin your solution today. Just as with any other health and beauty benefit, getting started is the toughest part. After a few days, it will be in your daily routine. Hope these tips will help.
