Scouting new models is a true art form. As a photographer, I love scouting fresh faces and upcoming stars and carefully mentor and instruct them in a way that allows their inner "supermodel" to shine through.

There are so many good looking fresh faces of men and women out there, however, it is hard to find models with real potential for the modeling business. Besides a great face, you need to have the right height (this eliminates a majority of the models that aspire to model), you should have a fit, toned, lean body (fitness modeling is more appropriate for guys who are very muscular), and show a professional attitude.

After you meet these criteria, then you have to pass the final test. The camera has to love you. Be yourself in front of the camera and allow your personality to shine. Be able to take direction well, and really listen to your photographer as they are the ones who will capture that inner magic and therefore, create some amazing photos.

Modeling is much more than just having a good look and a chiseled body. You must also dedicate a good portion of time to being disciplined. This means eating clean for long periods of time, staying fit with sports, loving the gym, taking care of yourself, flawless skin, and working hard on the inner you. With all of that in place, although it's a really tough career to break into, you will be prepared to go the distance.
