Getting Started: Step by Step
Assess your market
Be honest about where you fit. The fashion runway has strict physical requirements; the commercial market values relatability and diversity. Both are valid but require different approaches.
Build your portfolio
You need 8-15 strong photos: headshot (natural lighting), full body (proportions), editorial (personality), commercial (smiling, approachable). Budget-friendly: collaborate with emerging photographers for TFP (Time for Print).
