BIG MODELS
Become a Plus Size Model
If you want to become a plus size model, and looking for informative information to help you on that career path, you have come to the right place.
This information will give you some information about what it takes for you to become a plus size model.
Here goes……
Plus size models are usually between size 12 - 28 and their height is usually 5'7- 5'11.
First of all read these step, and decide whether you have the right answers and approach to become a plus size model.
•Decide if the modeling industry is right for you. Take a look through magazines and catalogs and get a feel for how the models look, including the way they pose, their body type etc.
•Take a few test shots with some friends or family.
•If you like being in front of the camera and believe you are photogenic, then practice moving in clothing and finding your right look, a hairstyle that fits your face (choose one that is easy to maintain and one that is easy to style for different looks in modeling). If there is anything that you need take care of, for example, ends, clearing, exercise to tone areas, then take action and do so.
•Make sure you meet the height and size requirements.
•Seek out local modeling agencies in your area and find out what their exact requirements are for submitting your photographs or for open calls. Open calls are when the agencies set time aside to see new models.
•Once you find the agencies you want, schedule a test shoot - it can be with a friend or family member or you can have professional photos taken. It is not necessary that they be professional.
•The photos should be clear and not blurry. There should be no-one else photographed in the pictures with you. At least one photo should be a headshot, one a good smile shot, one full length, and one a body shot in shorts and tank (whatever you are comfortable wearing) or a swimsuit.
•Submit your photos to the agencies you have chosen. There are three ways to submit your photos: email to the relevant "plus size division"; or send a letter of introduction with your photos attached via ordinary mail; or go to an open call at the agency and meet with them in person, as this way they can not only see you but will also get to see your personality. Make sure you know your stats (height, dress sizes, age, hair color, eye color, shoe size). If you don't know your measurements, have someone take them for you. Write them down and carry them with you or include them in your e-mail or letter.
Relevant Tips
• On open calls dress casual but neat, nothing too trendy or tight
• Your skin should be clear and blemish-free
• Don't wear heavy makeup
• Keep nails neat and manicured
• Smile and have fun!
Watch out for.
•Modeling is a very competitive business; do not feel bad if not accepted by the agency. Many famous models are not signed with an agent on their first open call - keep working on yourself and go a second time and more if needs be. If the agency is still not right for you, try another agency.
•Many agencies are looking for different looks at all times. The advertising industry is more interested nowadays in a wider representation of people in their ads.
•Sometimes modeling may not be for you - if you're still interested in working in the fashion industry, there are many opportunities such as stylists, makeup artists, photographer. Find what your talents are and do what you like best!
Final thought
•Never give up, if you really desire for it, you won’t.
•Be persistent
•Be passionate about what you do.
DON'T FORGET
•Have a good attitude
•Try not to be too discourage about rejection, because it happens in the world of modeling
•WORK HARD!!

What does it take to become a successful model?
What does it take to become a successful model? many aspring model asks. There are millions of young, bright, attractive people who want to get into modeling, but only a small percentage find any success at it.
Why is that you ask? Simply because they don't possess all of the following key elements of a successful model.
Determination: Many young actors, actresses and models fail to reach their potential simply because they don't have enough drive and desire to overcome the inevitable slumps and setbacks they encounter. They simply quit. And if you do want to become a successful model, quitting should not be a option.
Professional Attitude: Modeling is a business, pure and simple. It can be great fun, but professional photographers, art directors, casting directors, and video graphers are in the business of creating images for a profit. Their time is money, and so is yours. Treat these professionals as you would expect to be treated when it comes to time. Don't waste their time by not being punctual or ready to work at the scheduled start time, because it doesn't reflect a good attitude on you.
The most beautiful model in the world will run out of work if she constantly wastes people's time by being late, (or not showing at all), or by not being prepared to work.
Good Work Ethic:Experienced actors, actresses and models know that there is not a steady stream of work at all times. By being aggressive with your self promotion and focusing on continually marketing your skills, you can create more work opportunities. When work opportunities arise, be prepared to do your best. As your best will get you noticed for more future assisgnments.
Imagination:Use your unique look and thoughts to create something that makes you special. There are a million pretty faces out there, but if you offer a unique look or attitude, you can create a demand for your services. Be creative when you put your portfolio together and use your best shots for your promotional materials. Collaborate with your photographers to come up with something really special that just screams who you are.
Networking Skills:All good business people create networks of clients that are constantly growing. actors, actresses and models are no different. You need to find ways to reach potential clients and generate more work and more clients from referrals and other network techniques. Of the clients you work with, ask them for referrals to other opportunities for you. And if a client was referred to you, always let them know who referred them.
The common networking rule is that for every satisfied client you have they, in turn, will tell 2-5 others about you, but for every dissatisfied client, 10 potential new clients will hear the bad news. (negativity alway seems to spread faster then positively)
Never burn your bridges with clients. You may not want to work with them any more, and that is fine, but never, never be rude or unprofessional. It only harms yourself.
Always make it a goal to either work a number of times with a client or get referrals to others from them. Work makes work in this business.
Discipline:Be prepared for work. Develop the discipline to keep your valuable assets, (smile, face, figure, or what ever else you model), in good shape. Have your portfolio ready when you get a go-see, (interview or test shoot), and have your promotional materials, (headshots, zed cards, and resumes), ready for any potential interview or marketing opportunity.
This chance may not come around again. Have the discipline to be a go-getter, not a wanna-be.
Persistence:Successful actors, actresses and models are made, not born. (remember that) They work at all aspects of what they do and they do not stop because of a few setbacks. They are determined to accomplish a goal and they are not easily stopped by petty excuses or fears of the unknown.
A Plan of Action: Successful actors, actresses and models have a direction, a plan of action. They set goals for their portfolio, their resume, their network of potential clients and the part of the market they want to work in, and they plan a way to achieve those goals.
