Your page
is designed to allow you to post as little or as much
information about yourself as you like or need. I've browsed some of
the popular modeling sites as well as some modeling agency sites on
the web and came up with the following format (click
HERE for sample page):
YourName
"Your Name" can be first name, first name and initial, or your full
name - your call.
Photos
Your photos/photo collage can be placed here. Because I'm a
photographer myself and this site is designed as an extension of my
"Headshots
& Portfolios" offer, using another photographers photos would be a conflict of
interest to me, not to mention the whole copyright deal. So the only
photos I could allow to be posted here are either my photos of you
or your own home photos. Truth be known, most agents don't require
professional photos to make an evaluation of whether you are
marketable or not anyway. They can initially gauge you just as well
from home photos or Polaroid's and usually will snap some quick
"home photos" of you if you ever attend an open call or stop by
their office for a scheduled interview.
Physical
You can share as many physical characteristics as necessary. Adults
will probably want to use all options, teens as well. If you're
posting your child's information, you may want to circumvent the
physical characteristics all together and go with age alone. Whether
child, teen or adult, the call is yours as to how much physical
characteristics your want to share.
Resume
Here is, obviously, where you can post your resume. Your resume may
include any modeling training you have (Barbizon, etc.), photo
shoots (again, can't list/mention other photographers here), pageant
experience, acting/theater experience and training, or pretty much
anything that demonstrates your ability to perform in front of
the camera or an audience. You may be surprised how often the
modeling field crosses over in to the acting field. Might also be a
good place to post any videos/links you may have.
Other Web Pages
Here you can list other web pages you may have. Obviously if you
have your own web site or are signed with an agent and are listed at
his/her site, you're way beyond need of this site. Here you can post
most any conceivable web link you have that would enhance your
modeling ambitions, whether that be a Facebook or MySpace page or a
similar modeling site. And while it's not logical for me to allow
other photographers photos to be used here or even mentioned
(endorsed), what you do at your own page is pretty much your
business [so long as it is not in direct conflict with the "Values"
listed here].
Contact
Here's where you can list your contact information. I personally
recommend a dedicated e-mail address and G-mail is great for that.
G-mail address's are easy to create and forward to your main account
so you'll be aware 24/7 of any e-mails without having to log in and
check your dedicated account separately. But like all the other
information, it's your call how much you want to share.
In conclusion,
this would be your private page to help promote yourself to modeling
agents and others. And while I don't' see the basic layout changing,
I'm flexible and open to ideas and opinions.
