Perfecting Your Public Profile

Onemodelplace is a great website for finding work and connecting with other models in your field. But once you’ve made the decision to post your portfolio on the platform, how do you know what’s going to work best? There are a few ways you can perfect your public profile, and get more connections with photographers. Keep in mind this site is mainly for glamour modeling, but it does have a commercial aspect to it as well.

Scanning Your Current Portfolio

If you’re serious about getting work on Onemodelplace, then you have to be very careful when selecting your images for upload. Many models feel that more is better, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! The bottom line is that a photographer only really needs to see you in a few choice shots, to decide whether they want to work with you – so make them count. If you have 50 photos, choose the best 10 to post on your profile.

Fake Tearsheet Photos

There is a lot of pressure in the modeling industry to have modeled for someone noteworthy, so what many models do is they create ‘fake’ adverts – thinking that this will be enough to persuade a talented photographer to hire them for work. If you are a professional glamour or commercial model, then there is no need to make fake adverts. In fact, they scream ‘amateur’ and that’s not something you want to advertise. Concentrate on classic, simple and genuine shots – leave out the frills and fake brand names.

Clean, Up-Market Images

Glamour modeling often involves naked or semi-naked shots, but this is no reason to upload 30 naked shots of yourself. If you want to be taken seriously as a model on Onemodelplace, only upload images that you would feel comfortable showing your mother or father. They don’t have to be sexy or provocative for the photographer to see that you have what they need. Loading nude images of yourself invites many photographers that work in the adult industry to contact you about work. That’s not ideal for the ambitious model.

Your Statistics on Display

On Onemodelplace, your profile or stats lets photographers know what kind of modeling you are interested in doing. Make it very clear that you aren’t interested in erotic nude shots, or anything of that nature.

Include your weight, height and skills stats very clearly on your profile, as photographers often look at these as soon as they begin considering you for a role or shoot. In your ‘general information’ section, don’t go on about how new you are to the modeling scene – instead run through your ideal working situation.

Keep your goals clear in your mind before you upload images to Onemodelplace. You don’t want to invite the wrong kind of attention, so work on creating a profile that prevents that from happening. Every few months update these photos with new ones, from jobs or a more recent shoot selection. And don’t forget to ask the photographer you work with to recommend you on your profile.
