Modeling tips for men: part 2

So you want to become a male model? well you have come to the right place for modeling tips for men. We have information that will outline on how to get started, as well as revelant links to help you on your journey.

If you're the age between 10-28 you can easily be a model, all you have to know is what poses to pull, what clothes to wear, and have the confidence to pull it all off. Most male models have a good figure but as long as you aren't obese you've still got a chance

Steps to take

Firstly, build up your modeling skills by looking at pictures of other male models. Look at the poses they pull, the stance in which they stand and the way in which they are trying to be percieved.

Try to copy some of the poses and fixtures that other models carry off, but only do this when starting out, as you can't build up a career based on someone else's pouts.

Now make up some poses yourself, it's best to have a full length mirror on your wall or something like that because you can just stand in front of it for as long as you need to, practising new pouts and stances.

Don't let anyone tell you you're vein, because it doesn't matter too much if you are, as long as you aren't self-absorbed and have some sort of awareness to the world around you.

Ask yourself seriously are you good looking enough to be a model-it's all very well saying that 'everyone's beautiful' and yes everyone is beautiful, but most people don't see it that way, and are looking for a person with exceptional looks to model their products.

So if you feel you got what it takes go for it.

Don't be put off by other people including model agencies and fashion guru's, they may know a lot but you need to savour their critical comments to make you stronger as a person and as a model. If people tell you that you can't be a model then think about why they're saying this and use it to improve on yourself, not QUIT.

As i said earlier, look at pictures of other male models and use them as your guinea pigs to copy poses off of them, but only to help you build up your modeling skills.

Practise in your room or in any space for that matter-but practise what?- Well you can practise catwalk, fashion poses, modeling of clothes of fragrences-you can take pictures of yourself and evaluate them accordingly.

You have to build up a portfolio (this is like a folder/file whatever you want to call it that contains as many pictures of yourself as you see fit) to send off to agencies like Storm.

Ask a friend to take pictures of you if you find it too much of a struggle to do it yourself.
Ask for opinions from other people as to whether or not you could be a model, but remember NOT to take negative feedback too seriously as you can use it to improve your weak points.

Warnings

When going for a photoshoot with ANYONE make sure you take along a trusted member of your family or a friend who can make sure nothing dodgy goes on, remember stafely first.

Modeling resources such as books are great learning tools and even when you do start to take it seriously, well-take it with a pinch of salt because it's just a bit of fun and if it esculates then congratulations!
