by A.Rrajani Photographer A.Rrajani

If you are new in the modeling industry, there is no need to worry about how to start your modeling portfolio. What matters most is that you choose one subject and stick to it. Once you have chosen your niche, all you have to do is to promote yourself and your work through your social networking sites, which are a great help to model agents in finding the right talent. A social networking account is nothing but a page that allows you to interact with family and friends. You can upload photos, make announcements or comments on blogs or message boards of people in your network.

Some people feel shy about their modeling portfolio and hence they keep it hidden away. You can never be confident if people don’t know about your modeling activities. So, just go ahead and make a public announcement about your new modeling activities on your Facebook or MySpace page. You can also announce it on your Twitter page. This way, the people will come to know about it.

WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING A MODELING PORTFOLIO, IT PAYS TO BE CREATIVE AND VERY ARTISTIC.

Start by making a statement or a description about yourself, your work, and what you offer to the modeling industry. There are various ways of making such a statement. Here are some suggestions that might help you in starting off with your modeling portfolios.

Firstly, when you decide to go into the modeling industry, make sure you don’t cut any corners and try to stay as true to your original strengths as possible. Your modeling portfolio has to reflect the real you and not the one that you wish to appear as. It is not wrong to look at modeling agencies and try to emulate the models. This is a good way of preparing for your own first shoots. However, when trying to find potential modeling agencies, always remember to choose those that have positive feedback from existing and potential clients.
