A model who is truly passionate about pursuing modeling as a long-term career has to take steps to promote themselves and stay continually relevant in the industry.

Get your poses right

Learn the tricks and secrets so you can quickly achieve a good variety of poses that suit the project you are doing. Master basic posing tips like keeping your chin down, twisting your body two-thirds of the way to the camera, tucking your ears forward, placing your eyes in line with your nose, not posing straight but at least one leg bent, and opening slightly the mouth to provide a subtle seductive pose. These are some basic tips that once mastered add beauty to any photo very easily.

Another professional tip is to learn to smile with your eyes. Have you heard of smize? Watch Tyra Banks as she gives the flattering look. Your eyes are often the focus of photos and are what viewers will see to infer the emotion in the photo. Your eyes, like a painting, speak a thousand words, so learn to use it well.

Social Networks and Instamodeling

Use the power of social networks in your favor. Scouters from all modeling agencies and clients are constantly looking for high-quality models on social media platforms. Create an informal account where you post your selfies, your normal social life and provide some updates on your best work to show your followers more about your life as a model. Don’t create a professional model account that is filled with professional studio quality photos, as clients are more interested in seeing what you post when you don’t expect them to see it. Also, it is a platform for you to show your personality. Be vibrant and socially friendly with your captions in that regard. Use appropriate and popular hashtags like #outfitoftheday, #Singaporemodel, etc.; this will help your photos have more reach.

Create a website

If you’re really serious about modeling and attracting clients, setting up your own website is one of the best ways to go. With many free web hosting platforms like Wix and WordPress, you can easily set up a website that will help you market your modeling brand. But if you do, make sure you have a number of meaningful experiences that they can boast on the website.

The highest connection wins

Modeling is an industry where soft skills get the biggest prizes. If you can socialize and interact with the best customers and bookers, you will see more opportunities coming your way. Find out about the latest fashion shows, parties and corporate events in the city and try to get your ticket. Wear your best dress and impress.

With stunning looks and an outgoing personality, you’re sure to get the opportunities you’re looking for.
