One of the most difficult tasks newcomers to the world of teen modeling experience is finding legitimate and reputable glamour photographers who are willing to compensate models for their time, effort and expenses. There are plenty of scams out there where individuals or companies will get the models to pay for expensive portfolios while other photographers are simply looking for models to photograph for their own personal interest. By conducting a little research, you can find legitimate opportunities and professional photographers who are looking for girls just like you.
Perhaps the most used resource around for photographers, models and other professionals to connect is a modeling job board. This service allows models like yourself to post their information and let prospective photographers know you're willing to work. Some of these services are free while others require you to pay a monthly membership but joining this type of site has several benefits. You can post pictures from your portfolio for photographers to view and comment on. Models are also able to easily see some of the photographer's previous work and even communicate with other models they have worked with in the past.
Online classified websites are also quite popular for those looking to locate teen modeling jobs. Chances are there's a local free classified site like Craigslist operating in your vicinity. Take a look at the various job boards and categories or search for models to find and review listings. As it is a free resource, you'll want to conduct some research on the photographers posting and make sure you meet with him or her with your parents to get more information about the paid work they are offering.
Some teen models have approached one of the various teen modeling agencies operating in their geographic region to help them locate paid modeling jobs. They will use their contacts to help locate paid photoshoots for their clients in various formats including images to be used on the web, advertising campaigns, catalogues and print media such as newspapers and magazines. Acceptance is not guaranteed and you will need to first find out an agency willing to represent you to begin the process.
With any paid modeling job, you need to take all the steps necessary to ensure your safety. Your parents or legal guardian should always be kept up to date on what your plans are and attend any meetings you have. If a photographer or agency encourages you to meet with them without someone accompanying you, pass on the opportunity and continue your search.
