I have a meeting with a modeling agency in a week or so. I’m just starting out so the only pictures I have are unprofessionally done photos. She asked me to bring any marketing material I have. I don’t want to go in without anything, but then I don’t know what kind of marketing material I could bring since none of my pictures were done professionally. Any advice?

Marketing materials means photos, demo reels, headshots, etc.

For modeling, you just need to bring a few pictures (non-profesional is fine) – at least one headshot, one profile headshot and one full body shot in either fitted clothing or a swimsuit. Write your name and contact info on the back in case they ever get separated from your application.

If you are looking for representation as an actress you need to bring a professional headshot (amateur won’t cut it in this case), your resume and your demo reel (2-3 minutes of acting work you’ve done on a CD-Rom/DVD). If you don’t have this, you are in no way ready to be represented by a talent agency for acting – these are the minimum requirements for any agent to consider you.

Hi. My name is Rachel and I am a 12-year-old girl. My mother has been searching for me a modeling agency but has had no success with finding one that does not require a $400 portfolio.
I would much appreciate it if somebody could inform me of one that doesn’t require a portfolio and is for younger (tween) girls.

Thank you very much.

Any modeling job requires a portfolio. Walking in to a studio saying you are a good model is like me walking into a hospital and saying I’m a doctor. They need proof. In modeling the portfolio shows that you know how to pose and move, you photograph well ETC. Even if you’re pretty that’s no proof you are a good model.

You need a portfolio.
