How do model agents package models?

Every model wants to be a successful and excellent model. How can we succeed? What is good? This is a question that people often ask. When it comes to models, we often talk about supermodels. In fact, supermodels are not famous because they won any prizes in a model contest. On the contrary, these models are often selected by customers and often appear in performances, magazines and media. The images of these models appear in huge unit street sign advertisements, product packaging, mall posters and product albums. Their faces and bodies represent the image of a famous brand. On the other hand, these supermodels have enough work to do, and they get rich income through these jobs. This is a successful model. In other words, the model's success is directly proportional to her income.

How to succeed?

1. Pay attention to your agent.

When you sign up for a modeling company, you must have an agent directly responsible for your business. Because model agents don't only take care of 1~2 stars like artist agents, they have to represent a dozen or even dozens of models. Therefore, in order to attract customers' attention, you should first make your agent notice you and let your agent feel your presence.

With the new photos, you should take the initiative to find your own agent to help you analyze and point out the shortcomings, and ask the agent to help you choose the works suitable for your customers to change folders. So the agent will forget you subjectively.

2. Pay attention to every interview.

Interview is one of the main tasks of a model. As a model, you should have the psychological endurance of being chosen. Models should understand that the unsuccessful interview does not mean that you are not good, but that your image and feelings cannot represent the image of this brand, but you may meet the needs of other brands. For example, if you are a typical youthful model, you may not be suitable for mature white-collar workers or successful brands. If you are a typical elegant and steady type, young sports brands are not your strong suit.

An experienced model should be fully prepared before each interview and never fight unprepared. Before each interview, you should know and pay attention to the following matters from the broker:

(1) What kind of brand will you interview?

(2) Do you want to make up?

Some interviewers want to see the effect of the model's light makeup, and some brand interviewers oppose the model's makeup, so be sure to ask clearly, otherwise it will leave a bad impression on customers or waste time on makeup.

(3) Pay attention to dress.

If you can understand the brand style before the interview, you'd better choose clothes with similar styles to attend the interview. If you don't know the style of the interview brand in advance, it is recommended to choose black clothes with good fabric texture. The clothes for the interview should reflect the leg length and figure curve, and it is best to wear high heels. In addition, the interview clothes must be concise and clean. In order to cope with some demanding users, you can prepare a better dark swimsuit and avoid wearing long skirts and sports shoes during the interview. Never wear jeans if your hip circumference is not perfect.

(4) Pay attention to manners

Before the interview, if you accidentally meet a customer at the interview site, even if you don't know the customer, you should greet the customer politely and don't forget to bring a smile. If the customer asks you a question, you must answer it easily, naturally, politely and politely, so as to be neither supercilious nor supercilious, and don't forget to say thank you after answering.

(5) Don't forget to bring your own folder.

When interviewing, you should let your customers know as much about you as possible, so it is the best way to let them browse the pictures of different shapes in your folder. If you have rich pictures, you can temporarily remove photos that are not in line with the brand style according to the brand style of the interview.

(6) Never arrive on time and never be late unless you don't want to continue working in this industry at all.

(7) Remember your interview number.

(8) Listen to the arrangement of the broker and field staff.

3. Prepare the necessary tools for the model

Photos are the most basic weapon for models to fight. If you are a professional model, you must accumulate excellent photos. These photos should have different styles. Record the shooting time and place, photographer's name, stylist and clothing brand on the back of the photo. A successful model must have many photos with high artistic level.

There are usually the following centralized methods to accumulate photos:

(1) Find a photographer to shoot through an agent.

(2) Before each performance, find a photographer you know to take pictures of yourself. Every fashion show will have a lot of fashion photography.

Teachers and media photographers should establish good relations with them.

(3) After each advertisement or sample is shot, ask the photographer or the brand he serves for a copy of the photo.

(4) If you publish pictures in a certain media, you must try to find the magazine and cut out your pictures.

Enrich it into your own folder.

(5) If your photo is printed by a brand, you must try to find it.

With the development of high technology, the necessary tools of the model are constantly updated, but how to update them is not important. These tools should have two basic contents:

(1) Let customers see your most comprehensive photos in the simplest way;

(2) Let the company get in touch with you in the simplest way.
