3 Tips To Help Find Modeling Jobs For Teens


So you've decided to embark on an exciting career in teen modeling, have you? It can be a very rewarding career choice and is a lot more glamourous than slinging fries at your local fast food joint. Making that decision is easy but what you might find difficult is actually finding reputable photographers who are looking for girls to pose for various projects, publications and websites. Here's 3 tips on how you can find modeling jobs for teens.

Google And Other Search Engines
Google can be your best friend when it comes to finding paid modeling work as many photographers and agencies spend a lot of time, effort and money trying to get their information in the search results. Usually you will find links to photographer websites as well as helpful articles (such as this one). Take some time to review the listing and look for a place to submit your online teen modeling application so the prospective photographer can get an idea of your look. Make sure any photos you submit are recent and still shows your current body type because nothing frustrates professional photographers more than a girl who submits pictures from a few years ago and looks completely different now


Model Job Boards
There are several websites dedicated to connecting prospective models with photographers through job postings, online portfolios and private messaging. These are a great spot to connect with professionals but beware of scammers because a lot of these boards are rife with them. People have been known to steal pictures from the Internet and post them as their own just to meet beautiful young ladies like yourself. If you do find a job posting and have an offer, make sure you ask for references from other models and have your parents check them out before agreeing to the teen modeling job.

Online Teen Glamour Model Websites
There are quite a few online teen glamour model websites in operation that are always looking for fresh faces to appear in their member's area. Most will offer a hourly rate as well as cover your travel expenses if they're not local to you. Other perks can include travel to some sunny destinations for photo shoots. The other benefit of looking for teen modeling jobs in this fashion is you can check out their style of photography and make sure you're comfortable posing in the same manner.
