Social Media is key
Social media is an essential tool, particularly Instagram to building your online presence. Think of Instagram as a digital portfolio - showcase your personality, candid shots, lifestyle, interests and day to day activities through visuals. We love to see this as it helps scouts and model bookers get an idea of your character. Remember, your content is a reflection of you!
Have a bio
Writing a bio that includes location i.e. London, Manchester helps scouts know where you are based.
Collaborate with others
Collaborate with photographers and creatives. It’s great to build your network and connect. Reach out to photographers to capture content to build your portfolio, this is also great for exposure as it helps you widen your reach. Collaborate with like-minded accounts, grow your network!
Keep interacting
Interact with modelling agency social media accounts, whether that’s through commenting, reposting, liking content and tagging them in your posts. This increases your chances of scouts finding you.
Keep tabs on DM
Check your DM’s & requests. Scouts often contact you through direct message when they want to know if you’re
interested in representation. It’s great to keep tabs on this so you don’t miss any potential opportunities! P.S stay responsive.
Photo preparation
It makes the process a lot easier if you have natural portrait and full length photos (doesn’t have to be professional) ready in your camera roll. We often request unfiltered, naturally lit clear images – plain tee and bottoms are preferred.
