A good portfolio is what you need at the very first place when you go for modeling. But the most important helping hand that you need is those of modeling agencies.

Now, the point is how to search for a good modeling agency? There are many modeling agencies that deal with studio modeling photography, short listing them and sending them to those who need it.
Modeling agencies can be a perfect helping hand for new models!
So, the experts say that, once you are done with a good port folio and you are ready to set off, you can search modeling agencies on online. There are various websites, which deal online helping you to find the perfect modeling agencies for yourself. You can jot down that information available online and then can browse through their current roster getting all the contact details and other things like how to send portfolios to them.
Then, after the short listing is done, send them your folios. Send your best pictures in which you look natural and do not have much make up on you. The best dress that you can wear to take the photographs is a pair of jeans and a simple t shirt. But they should fit you well and compliment your body.
Do not take help of any middleman by paying them and helping you to find the modeling agencies for you. Most of them are fraud and you will only lose your money without getting any positive response. So, it is always a good idea to find the modeling agencies on your own and then mail your photographs. You can always go to their offices and then submit your folio on your own. Do not rely on others.
Try to add a cover letter with your portfolio when you submit them. There you can clearly write that why you want to be a model and what are your aspirations. You can also mention your previous experiences in modeling if you have any. Do mention it, even if it is not a very big modeling assignment. Any type of experience helps. Some modeling agencies go for an interview once they are done with the short listing. If you get shortlisted, then do prepare well for the interview and try to sound confident.
It is okay if you do not get selected on the very first go. You need to accept rejection gracefully. Try to hold back your confidence and keep on trying. Nothing is impossible if your passion is undying.
