Are you interested in pursuing a career as a teenage model?
We’ve got you covered! The ultimate guide to everything you need to know about becoming a teen model!
Let’s start with the nitty gritty: The requirements
Are you the correct age?
Teen models are generally aged between twelve and seventeen. If you (or your son/daughter) are younger than this, you will be classed as a ‘Child Model’. If you are older, you are considered an ‘Adult Model’.
You will need your parent’s approval!
Before approaching Pose or modelling agencies, it is really important that you get your parent’s go-ahead. You need to have supportive parents as this is a process that you will need to take a parent with you, for help, guidance, and security.
Don’t think of them as cramping your style, they’re actually free security, information points and transport. Having a supportive parent or legal guardian is really important as agencies & brands will ask them to be present whilst attending castings & photo shoots.
What are the typical responsibilities or activities of teen models?
Teen models play a vital role in promoting products and services, spanning from the latest fashion trends to educational materials.
You can spot them in magazines, websites, advertising campaigns, billboards, and even TV commercials. In essence, if a product or service appeals to teenagers, agencies seek teen models to showcase it effectively.
Teen modelling serves as an excellent introduction to the modelling world on a more modest scale before potentially pursuing it as a full-time career. It's an enjoyable experience that fosters confidence-building and provides valuable exposure to the professional world.
Don’t forget about your education!
Modelling agencies recognise the significance of education as a top priority. Nevertheless, modelling offers valuable benefits to young individuals, fostering confidence and providing a glimpse into the professional world.
For those interested in pursuing a modelling career, especially teenagers, it's essential to emphasise that modelling remains a part-time endeavour while they are still in school. This approach allows them to gain practical experience in the modelling industry without compromising their education.
It’s not all about looks. Trust us!
Teen models must possess a strong, confident personality and unwavering determination, even in the face of setbacks. They should have the ability to take direction, exhibit versatility, and allow their unique personality to shine through. Above all, they should genuinely enjoy being in front of the camera.
To thrive as a successful teen model, an outgoing personality and a resolute, hardworking attitude are essential. It's crucial to cultivate body confidence, which isn't about being thin but about embracing your own skin. Being receptive to guidance from industry professionals is equally important.
The ultimate key to thriving as a teen model is to genuinely love the work you're involved in. If you can sincerely say that, success is likely to follow.
