Attributes such as education, patience, honesty, persistence, integrity, intelligence and humor that are in-demand in every other workplace, are by themselves of no particular value in modeling.
This is why people often assume that all models are stupid, because we can be and still work. But so can sports stars, and although one doesn't necessarily think of sports people as completing PHD's in their spare time, "stupid" is not the first adjective used to describe them.
So, is there no such thing as a great model? Well, yes, there is. But, the paradox of a great model is that by the virtue of her greatness she disappears.
These women are models who have acquired, or were born with, a phenomenal physical awareness. Like a dancer, or a gymnast, this woman knows her musculature intimately -- often because she once was one as a child.
She has additionally expanded this knowledge to the tiny muscles of her face. This of course means endless hours in front of the mirror and a vanity or self-absorption beyond the normal of actual training. Yet, all of this skill will be completely and utterly pointless if it's not housed in the right vessel. Only a few of them ever reach the supermodel status, and that is in part because they obey the rules of fame and do slightly scandalous things around other famous people.
They are a sort of a well-kept industry secret: the girls that one hires if one has a whole lot of hideous clothes to showcase. By the way, I've never been one of them. They can, and do inspire photographers, and sometimes conspire with them to make some amazing photographic work.
But a fresh faced, clumsy year-old who never even wanted to be a model can, and often does, unseat them faster than you can change your pants. The combination of just the right amount of freakishness, youth and body control is rare indeed, a veritable chupacabra. That's why shows like America's Next Top Model have, after something like seasons, yet to come up with a top model. Despite Tyra Banks' insistence that a girl can somehow "deserve" a top model spot by "by learning, by improving, by wanting it most," this is in fact complete bullshit.
The only thing that truly matters is what the girl looks like and if she is in the right place at the right time. If it truly were about merit, most top models would be drag queens. Ru-Paul has the best modeling show on air.
His "girls" can sew, paint, do hair, move and transform like no other models I've ever seen. Good thing for us uninspired girls that modeling doesn't require anywhere near the creativity of a reality drag-queen TV show. It is also assumed that if you model high fashion clothes you must love fashion. Although the answer is bold and exhibits motivation and attitude, it seems to be incomplete.
It lacks professional luster. It leaves the interviewer in dire need to know more. Perhaps the interviewee could have elaborated a bit more. Although I have only had a brief stint in modeling, I am all set to work at random schedules and offbeat work-hours.
I love them all! I love the thrill of internal competition. Continue practicing by visiting these similar question sets. Rachelle's Answer. The more exposure you get to agents, scouts and clients the higher the odds become that you will be successful in finding representation and ultimately booking jobs.
When you are first starting out the most important exposure is to the agents and scouts. Because they are the ones that have all the clients. They are the ones who are going to promote you and get you booked for jobs. All the agents and scouts really need to see in the beginning is simple snapshots.
They just want to see how you look naturally with very little makeup and simple clothing. If the agents and scouts feel you have potential they may then recommend that you invest in professional photos that are appropriate for your look and the market for which you are best suited. Some agencies may even offer to cover the expense of a professional photo shoot that you can then pay back once you start booking modeling jobs.
