Book more high quality modeling jobs in 2025
Are you not booking the type of gigs you want?
If you’re getting started in your modeling career (or even if you’ve been in the game for a few years) and you aren’t landing the type of jobs you’d like… There’s one big reason.
You don’t have the work you need on your portfolio to attract the type of clients you want.
I know. It’s a catch 22.
How do you book more fitness gigs if you haven’t done a fitness shoot?
How do you book more fashion gigs if you haven’t done a fashion shoot?
How do you book more beauty gigs if you haven’t done a beauty shoot?
There are 2 ways you can approach this as a model:
Keep an eye out for TFP (time for prints) or Test shoots on casting websites. This is a way for you to get the type of work you’re looking for either free or at a very low cost. Often times this is from photographers who are trying to build their portfolio as well. So the quality of their work can vary.
Reach out to a photographer who shoots exactly what you want. They will charge you for it. But if it’s something you know you want to do it will be worth it. You get what you pay for.
My name is Mark Belden and I have been in the film and photo industry for over a decade.
I’ve worked with models who have done big name campaigns with many years of experience to models who are just starting out.
I’ve also casted models for dozens of high budget photo shoots. I’ve looked at HUNDREDS of applications from models with all levels of experience.
Over the years I’ve been able to see what works and what doesn’t.
“Oh, hi Mark!”
How Shulin landed more gigs.
Shulin hit me up and wanted to shoot some new looks for her agency.
She wanted to get more into the fitness space. We put together a mood board, booked a studio and got to it.
Here are a few examples of what we shot.
And the best part?
She landed more gigs!
