yip yip...
hmm... I have been doing modeling for the past 2 or 3 years, and yes, the pay really IS great
...
Like WesCottII said, u will need a port folio in order to start... then u take that port-folio to different agencies and hope that they accept you... its as simple as that... I payed about R2000 for my port folio ( £200 - £250 roughly ) and then ur good to go.
P.S.: Dont get a CHEAP prot folio done, u want your port folio to bereally good, seeing as though THAT is what determanes if you get into the agency or not.
I normally get a shoot once every month or 2 and i get payed between R2000 up to round about R24 000.. which is really nice.
But you also need to know that modeling isnt as EASY as people make it out to be, its hours of work and can really get irrtating at times Eg: standing in the sun for 6 hours and doing different poses etc, and NOT stop untill u get the "perfect" picture. But all in all, its great fun and a nice experiance... so go for it, and good luck
