Petite Modeling; The #1 Biggest Secret to Success in Your Petite Modeling Career Wondering what the biggest secret to your success is in your Petite Modeling Career? If
you're a petite or average sized model, or wanting to become one then this article is for
you.
The #1 key to success in the modeling industry, whether you're 5' 9" or 5' 2" is to get your
face in front of thousands of clients with a real modeling job. In a word; Tearsheets.
Tearsheets are the pages you have torn out of magazines that feature you as the model or one
of the models within the photos. As a petite or average size model the type of tear sheets
you would find work for range from advertisements for everything and anything you can imagine
to articles about hair, skin and nail care, beauty and self improvement tips, exercise, fitness
and diet articles.
Tearsheets are your ticket to launching yourself into the spot light as a professional and
workable model. They say to potential clients; "I can get the job done". Having at least one
tearsheet in your portfolio shows the client you have work experience and have done the job
of a professional model.
So how do you get these coveted model shoots that will feature you? The most obvious way is
with an agency, but unfortunately most modeling agencies do not sign models that are under
5' 9" So going this route takes patience and persistance. The second way is to work with modeling
magazines directly. Most modeling magazines can't be found on the shelves of your local grocery
store for two reasons.
First, because they are not of general interest to the average consumer and do not sell enough
from a magazine stand to justify distributing them in this way. Second, because most of the magazines are geared toward the side of the modeling industry that are looking for models.
Most of the readers of the magazines are reading it to find models they need to represent their products or for photo shoots for their own magazines. This is why appearing in one of these magazines is so beneficial to modeling hopefuls.
Getting the magazine to feature you as model is as simple as sending in your photos and waiting
for them to call you. Of course there aren't very many of them around and they are extermely
hard to find unless you are already on the inside of the industry.
Further, many of these magazines only take photos from modeling agencies making it much harder
to get you photos out there. But it's not impossible, and if you're thinking of boosting your
career this is definatley something you should look in to. Learn how to get a Paid Photo Shoot for a Real Modeling Magazine Without the Hassles of a Modeling agency at the petite modeling website. Jennifer Parks More Articles Steer Your Career in the Right Direction - Home - Kathy Thompson
