Looking to send your photos to a male modeling agency? In this article, you will find the best articles and recommendations.

Steps

  1. 1 Find out what exactly they want to see in this agency. Many agencies basically want to see three things:
    • The shape and features of your face;
    • Your figure (muscles, etc.) and how your body is built;
    • If you have "that very thing." You need to be confident in yourself and be able to show it. Feel free to show your body in all its glory and give your eyes the expression you want.
  2. 2 With these three things in mind, you should build your portfolio.
    • Shoot in good lighting to keep shadows as low as possible.
    • Take a photo of your head from both sides (in profile) and in front view, for this, apply makeup in natural tones, if necessary.
    • Also attach your everyday photos that were not taken for a portfolio.
    • Since one of the components listed above is your body, you need to make sure that you have photographs that clearly show your body and its features.Photos like this work best when you are wearing few or no clothes. (Note that photos without clothes may be inappropriate in some situations, but on the other hand, you can gain a lot from them by showing your self-confidence).
  3. 3 Shoot from as many angles and poses as possible. You can look for inspiration on sites with photographs of male models or in fashion magazines with clothes.
    • Include a lot of photos in your portfolio so that those who see it think you have an immense ego.
    • Show everyone that you love your body, take pictures in seductive poses, or even take pictures in a nude style. But make sure your photos only end up in the right hands.
    • Copy poses and facial expressions from famous male models, this is not forbidden in the modeling business.
  4. 4 Provide the agency with all the necessary information about yourself, you can also include in your autobiography your friends' opinions about yourself and a story about why you decided to become a model.
  5. 5 Send copies of your portfolio to multiple agencies.

Tips

  • Be confident in yourself!
  • Make sure your agency is a serious organization.
  • Try to call the agency in person to establish a personal contact instead of just emailing them.
