I’ve reiterated it time and time again, Instagram and modeling is not something that wasn’t supposed to go together, but in this day and age, they are jiving like Bob Marley and his guitar (or his rasta hair). I wrote about this in a previous blog post, and while some models abhor the social media, more agents are scouring it to find their next top models.
In this video, it shows how a construction apprentice, Matthew Noszka, gets discovered by a Wilhelmina agent and how his life changed forever:
With hundreds of models being discovered on Instagram, is it safe to say now that you can be scouted? If you do want to be a model through social media, here are some of the tips that I’ve gathered from the video.
Like what Nigel Barker stated, you don’t have to have the best body, nor the prettiest face. It’s all about personality and the way you deliver yourself.
Like Cara Delevingne, being goofy on the camera is a plus.
You need to have a variety of shots. Not just selfies. Videos of your whole body are important and place more emphasis on no makeup looks.
You need to already have an existing pool of followers. There are some tips and tricks on how to have more followers. But remember, even though sex sells, sexy isn’t what every agent or modeling agency is looking for.
Do you think you can be the next Instagram model discovery? 😀
