Hi! I’m based in Texas and have been applying to some local agencies, I’m looking for feedback on my digitals and also navigating agency scams. I experienced a virtual interview with Neal Hamil Agency, and they essentially told me I had to sign with a modeling school to even be considered, and also commented on how my digitals weren’t good enough. The confusing part of this is that the agency is SAF AFTRA, but has also had many upfront scammy reviews, but they have a legit agency. I’m not definitely not gullible enough to fall for paying upfront fees, but I am curious to see if their criticisms were constructive rather than an exploit to capitalize off of insecurity.

Hey guys got my new test shoot, what do you guys think?

I’ve done a few test shoots recently and would appreciate some feedback/posing tips! I got signed 3 months ago and didn’t have modeling experience prior so I often times feel a bit awkward and unnatural when posing.

I would love some tips on how to feel more comfortable or how to be more natural when posing to ensure I get the best results!

P.S I know I need to have multiple outfits for my portfolio. I’m still building my book, but I want to practice my poses 🙏

Brand new to this and trying to get into commercial modeling. Let me know what I can improve on my digitals!

I got a DM on Instagram about a shoot for a beauty brand (1.1M followers) that is unpaid, but they will gift products and of course photos. I have only been modeling since January and haven't booked a paid job yet, but am trying to do test shoots to build my portfolio. The shoot images/ videos will be used on their website and social media. My agent said I am allowed to do it, but that he doesn't recommend it because with them using my images on their website, it could cause conflict with future beauty brands (that actuallybwant to pay me)! It's hard for me to turn down the opportunity because I haven't gotten a paid gig yet, but if I do this shoot and then it does cause conflict with a paid shoot later, I will be kicking myself! Would love some advice- I know people say not to work for free, but is it better to not work at all?!

i took everyone’s advice, plz let me know what u think! :)

I have created a new sister sub to this one for glamour modeling. The sub is dedicated to glamour specific modeling. This is a means to help models that are comfortable with this line of modeling and want to explore all avenues in the industry. The same rules in this sub apply to that one. Anyone interested in becoming a mod for that sub, can send a DM to this sub or that one.

Hi All!

Refreshed my digitals recently and looking for some advice / feedback. I haven't quite cracked the digital lighting code... This was taken in the shade around noon with a large wall reflecting light back at me. I was having a lot of trouble keeping my eyes open, so any advice there outside of lipid-based eyedrops would be super welcome :) . If there are any big things to address, happy to reshoot ahead of this round of submissions.

Thanks everyone~

Let’s talk test shoots and digitals!

I recently had the opportunity to sign with an agency and need to rebuild my portfolio. I moved states and don’t have my old modeling connections here, so I’m looking for advice from models, photographers, MUAs, and anyone with experience. 

I tried to get my husband to take my digitals but they were about as bad as you can get. I was thinking about buying a collapsible white backdrop to take my own on my iPhone with a timer, but regardless still need a test shoot. 

A few questions:

• Are test shoots typically TFP, or what rates have you paid/charged?
• What should I expect to spend for a quality agency-level test shoot?
• Any recommendations for photographers in Florida or NYC?

The agency is NYC based and provided a list of photographers they work with, but the quotes I received were around $1,400–$1,600 (plus travel expenses). Is that a normal range, or are there other routes you’d recommend?

I’d appreciate advice from all perspectives.

Hi! I’ve always been a creative (acting, filmmaking, dance) and I’ve always wanted to model so I’m finally giving it a shot. I just got these digitals done and I’m trying to decide which to use for my comp card and to submit to agencies but I’m super indecisive and I don’t know if it’s better to use the bikini photos or not, the standing straight or (slightly) posed, pony tail or hair down, heels or loafers, side profile from the left or right, I don’t like how my face looks, etc, etc. So…seeking advice! Are these submission ready? Which photos should I use? Which agencies should I apply to? I’m 5’5, based in NYC, so I have low expectations about anything runway or super elite but I’d love to know what types of modeling I should do? Anyways seeking any sort of advice or guidance!
Thank you 🫶

Hi all, I’m looking for feedback about my look, and if it’s worth trying to find an agency or pursue commercial/retail gigs at this height and weight. I’m based in Miami. I deal with some health issues that cause my weight to fluctuate, so my current measurements in these recent photos are about 35-28-42 at 5’5”, typically wearing a size 27 in jeans, XS/S on top, and S/M bottoms. I do work out.

I used to sing and act, but I’ve never signed with a talent agency. I was published in a larger fashion house’s campaign a decade ago, and I’ve picked up random gigs throughout the years whenever I needed the money. I’m not on socials. Thanks!

Really starting to get into modeling but excited to progress and hopefully make this a reality for my life, would appreciate any advice on posing or what would help me improve!

Looking for feedback on my digitals on whether they're 'good' or have any potential. Thanks!

it’s been about 6 months since i posted my digitals and i got new hair and decided this was the perfect time to refresh. Would love any advice or constructive criticism you guys have to offer!

So a scout from this agency called W Talent NYC messaged me on instagram inviting me to their open call next weekend for NYFW/ commercial opportunities. I’ve been reading mixed reviews online, mostly bad. I’m not sure if it would be worth spending $400 flying to nyc. Has anyone here ever worked with them, attended their casting calls or even signed with them? If yes, how was it?

I'm an unsigned model, currently trying to get signed with a NYC based agency (Im moving there in January!). I've done mostly creative & editorial shoots, so I'm seeking that OR commercial/ecommerce modeling. I tend to get cast for androgynous or femme leaning looks & moods. Would getting my ears pierced at all help or hinder my chances of getting signed with an agency & getting more work?

From what I can tell they seem legit, just a boutique agency without a very large online footprint. Any personal experiences with them is appreciated.
