Tips for Male Model

1. Guys are being placed out there to work in one of the biggest, highest-paying and most competitive & demanding markets in the world. Agencies are looking for specific shots to make them stand out.

 

2. All photographers fancy themselves as artists, smile emoticon. And of course, nude photography is a form of fine art.

 

3.The best thing is to go to an agency with a variety of photos, and see if they will sign you based on those, and your interview.
Then, *they* will choose which photos they like--the ones they think they can use to help you get some work--and they may also tell you they'd like to see certain other kinds of shots in your portfolio. They probably have a few photographers they can send you to who will get you those kinds of shots. (Normally, the agency pays for this, or they have an arrangement with a young photographer who does this sort of thing so they can build up their own portfolio, free of charge--if it's a legitimate agency, you shouldn't have to pay anything for photos once you've been signed. For the agency, these photos are *advertising*, which they view as an investment. If they tell you you need to pay for photos they're probably not a real agency.

 

4. When you go for a shoot, make it your aim to have a lot of fun--sing, dance, jump around, laugh...have a good time! If you do all those things, people will like to work with you, and the photos will look great. And then you'll *keep* getting good work!
