There is always a lot of demand for new teen models as the
current ones get older and move into the adult brackets. The teen model bracket
is usually considered to be between the ages of 12 and 17 years.
Many child models follow a natural progression into teen models,
but also lots of teenagers decide they’d like to try modelling and take their
first steps in the industry at this time.
The teen market is a
very major section which companies are keen to target, and each ‘type’ of teen
needs to be represented. That means that as well as the standard modelling work
for attractive, fresh faced, tall models there will be work for petite models,
plus-size models and alternative models, who may have tattoos or be more
unusual looking.
Teen modelling work is available across all kinds of formats
from glossy magazines to billboards to TV adverts to catalogues and these days
even stock photography for websites.
Teenagers who are considering trying to become a model need
to make sure they have the right attitude and realistic expectations.
Keeping your expectation realistic
The modelling industry is tough and very competitive and
those who think they can just fall into it and make pots of money have got
disappointment waiting down the line. Aspiring models need to be willing to
invest time and energy in getting their foot in the door, and they have to be
thicked skinned to deal with the inevitable early rejections.
Having the Right Attitude
Not all teenagers fit the stereotype of being grumpy and
stroppy, but there is definitely no space for that kind of attitude when it
comes to modelling. Modelling is a professional and requires a professional
attitude. Paying clients are not going to be willing to waste their time with
temper tantrums.
