How to Become a Professional Model

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a model, now is the time. There is an ongoing need for models of all sizes and ages, and we can help find the right fit for you or your child.

How to get into modeling

Starting a modeling career can seem daunting at first, but it’s certainly possible for anyone with the desire and motivation to make it happen.
Start by taking-submitting some recent photos taken that can be shared in person and online. Then create a positive social media presence that allows you to communicate with and be discovered by those in the industry. Keep your skin, hair and body healthy by eating nutritious foods and drinking plenty of water.
Pay attention to the modeling being done around you—on TV and billboards, in magazines and online ads, at live fashion shows. Practice posing for the camera or walking the runway, and figure out which angles are the most flattering for your features.
Find a trustworthy agent who will work hard to get you noticed and will continue to promote you as you further your modeling career. Discovery Spotlight only works with the best agents in the business and specializes in connecting you to the right agents based on your experience, location, body build, age, and personality.
