Hi there,

I am a male wannabee model based in London. I have put some photos on my profile but of course I am hoping to have some real pro-type photos done to begin building a decent portfolio. I am looking for advise on how I would go about getting these initial photos, as I have no experience its hard to think that any photographers would really want to work with me, even if it is just for prints or disc. Please I welcome all of your adfvise on how to get started as I have always wanted to model.

Also your feedback on my look in general would be great. Do you think I have what i takes?

Hi there,

Welcome to purestorm. I would have a look at the male models on here. It will give you a good idea of the quality of work. Also take a peek at who they have worked with.
Joe Hicks is a good example as he has a great portfolio and is a nice guy. Alot of people will be very happy to give you advice if you ask nicely. And lastly, have fun with the modelling. If you are bored or unhappy it will always show in the pictures.

Good luck,

Helen.

My best advice would be to ignore the whole TFP crap and just pay one of the great photographers to get you some decent images. I don't really know what you need to be a great male model but I would have imagined you need to be pretty toned and well built so duno how easy it will be to get some of the pro's to want to test with you without you paying them.

Good luck with it

I know - as I get older the muscle tone is going - but still not too bad eh?

Hmm thanks slightly extreme lol! I don't see many male models that look like that. My brother in law is a skinny and normal looking dude and he makes a killing modelling for the likes of Timberland and All Saints. But thanks for the ego boost lol!
