Become a model in London
Modeling in London? How do I become a model? Questions that many people ask themselves, not only in London, but also in many other European cities in Milan, Berlin or Hamburg. London is the hotspot for models and accordingly also a place where many new faces are drawn. But what’s the best way to start? How do you apply to a model agency? How does the first casting work? What are your first model jobs? Here is a little insight into the fashion world of London.
Modeling is a job
First of all, it is important that you realize that modeling is a real job! From the risk that other models at your age will get more jobs, to waiting times after castings and of course the patience you need with yourself and your career, as well as the construction of the model portfolio. If model is not just a dream for you but you really want to try it, then you should apply in a serious model agency, with good customers and good references.
Application, casting and procedure
Your model application is not at all complex. At all model agencies you can find online forms, here you can easily enter your contact details and measurements and upload your photos. Tip! You don’t need professional photo shootings, all you need are a few pictures with your smartphone. They should show you as naturally as possible! No styling, no make-up, read more about model polaroids.
If you get an invitation to the agency, you’ll soon have made it! Every day, more than 50 models apply to good model agencies like ours, and that’s quickly over 1,000 a month. Maybe five or ten models get an invitation to the agency. At a agengy casting you introduce yourself to the model agency. Personally the agency or the Headscout makes itself a picture of you. Here your naturalness and your ability are put to the test, because as a model a lot is demanded. After your introduction we wait for the answer.
If you get an approval of the model agency, then congratulations! Now it starts with the construction of your model portfolio. Through strong photographers, test shootings and editorials in fashion magazines you get good and varied photo galleries. This will also give you your first jobs, e.g. as fitting model in the showroom and maybe also a follow-up booking as a catwalk model of a fashion show.
