How to start out in the print/promotional modeling industry?

December 3rd, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I am an aspiring print and promo model looking to get into the industry. My dream is to do catalogue and print modeling for alternative clothing companies such as Metal Mulisha, No Fear, Tilly’s, etc. and do promo work for the Action Sports industry like Monster Energy, Supercross, and even MMA. I have no experience but you have to start somewhere. My question is: where? If anyone with experience in the industry can help me get on my feet with this, I have looked everywhere but to no avail. Thanks.

All the promo models who parade around at the events are hired for the event through modeling agents. I know they get to look at photos of the models prior to hiring them as how they are selected. The same would be the case for any of the promo work and photo shoots. If you are interested in heading down this path you need to find out a few of the modelling agencies that are used by the companies and events and then try to get signed by one of them. You could contact either promoters of an event and get put on to the person who is in charge of organising the girls for those events or clothing companies and try to find out who they use. Many of the girls who end up either at the track or event or even in these catalogues often have no interest in the sport at all, they are just eye candy.

    It is up to your agent to find the work for you if you want to be paid for it otherwise do volunteer work.
