New
York City - Elite Management
Where
do you go for the Big Modeling Markets for Teenagers and
Adults?
Elite
What can I say about Elite models
except that they are an icon always on the top of the list
in the modeling industry with 30 years experience and plenty
of punch. They have the power to turn you into a star (if
you are accepted) so go for it!
Just to mention a couple of Elites
models, how about Chiara and Michaela. You could do a lot
worse than to be in their position. Elite is absolutely a
must to put on your list of model agencies to
contact.

Modeling for Elite
Agency
If you look at the female models this
prestigious agent represents, several descriptive words come
to mind .. gorgeous, graceful, tall and slim. Not only that,
but their skin is like silk, their nails are sculptured, and
their hair is soft and full of life. This is the world of
Elite modeling. Do you measure up? Here are some
requirements.
Age
Ages range up to 21 normally but
teenagers between 13 to 15 years old seem to be the ones
most interested in modeling as a career. If you are between
those ages read more of Elite's requirements in getting
started or accepted.
Height and Figure
How tall are you? If you are 5'9" or
taller you might consider runway or fashion. These models
have to be sleek and thin so make sure you fit the bill
before answering call backs in this area.
Complexion
Your face should be virtually free of
acne or scars and look clear with very little
makeup.
Fingernails
Manicured and unbroken nails are a
plus
Hair
No split ends or dry and damaged hair
here. Also, be careful of over dying your hair.
Teens, Preteens and Adults in Local
Markets
You might or might not have the stiff
requirements needed to go to New York or Los Angeles to
apply to Elite but there is still hope. Here are a few
things to consider if you want to go local in the
entertainment industry.
Body Type:
What type body do you have? Are you
curvy? If your measurements are close to 34-24-34 you might
be glamour model material. But, be aware that you might be
asked to do modeling in swimsuits or lingerie or without
much clothing at all. If you are a brave sort and
comfortable with your body there are opportunities in this
type modeling career. Be careful who you choose to work with
and check out all agencies and photographers before going to
interviews or photo shoots.
Plus Size:
If you are a bit heavy (not
overweight) there are ops in plus size modeling available
for fashion, catalog, etc.
Teenagers and Preteen
Put together a tight teenage model
portfolio, get your mom or dad involved and contact some
agents to get you started. Hint: Runway is fine if you are
tall and meet the other requirements but also consider
catalog and commercial work too (less
competitive).
Children
Kids, infants and toddlers can become
models too in this super young field.
Modeling Types
Runway - Described above you need to
be tall with a slim figure
High Fashion - Basically same as
runway models but these are the young men and women you see
posing for a print magazine cover like Vogue or Seventeen.
And, nowadays you might also view them in online
mags.
Commercial - More accessible in local
markets but a good career can be had in this part of the
entertainment industry for advertisements, editorial
lifestyle, TV commercials, etc.
Promotional - These are the young
models you see taking care of trade show booths or handing
out materials and brochures at events, etc. These jobs are
great to take in-between your modeling photo
opportunities.
Art or Figure Modeling - These are
models who pose for artists at schools and colleges and for
photographers to put on artistic calendars, etc. Some
implied or more explicit showing of the skin may be
involved.
Glamour - For the curvy girl with a 34
D bra size this can be a lucrative field but it is more for
the bold and the beautiful as you'll be showing swimwear,
lingerie, etc. You might see one of these models in the new
Victoria's Secret catalog.
Sports and Fitness - As you most
likely suspect, fitness models are fit. They have hard
bodies with perfect features. Many work in the commercial
field selling anything from ab exercise equipment to vitamin
supplements to clothing. Get a rigid workout routine going
before checking into this type model career.
Catalog - Just as the name says you
will be modeling clothing for department stores, outlets,
etc. There may be some height and weight requirements. Ops
include petite and plus size.
So, you see? You don't have to be
supermodel material to work in the exciting field of
performing arts. Elite Modeling Management is just one of
the many top list talent agents in the USA so don't give up
if you are not accepted by this industry giant. Look into
all avenues of entertainment before you dissolve your dream
for success.
