Get Your Headshot Taken0:25
Find Out Your Measurements3:03
To start a successful modeling career, you should know your measurements. Casting directors and producers will ask about your measurements when you apply to modeling jobs.
In the video above, our coach Asia explains what measurements you should know and how to take your own measurements.
Body measurement chart is attached for your reference.
Model Digitals1:06
In addition to your headshot and measurements, you should have your digitals for a successful modeling career. In the video above, Asia explains what the model digitals are and how to take yours.
If you know a photographer, ask them to take your model digitals. If you don't know a photographer, you can find one on Facebook Photography groups. Or you can ask a friend to take your photos. Phone photos are acceptable as long as lighting is good.
Check out our article for more information about model digitals: https://fashionrepublicmagazine.com/model-digitals/
Sample digitals are attached for your reference.
(Optional) Model Comp Card0:52
Comp card is a one or two-page document showing your name, photos, and measurements. Comp cards are more important for in-person model applications. For digital applications, it's rarely asked. So, you don't have to have a comp card but in case someone asks for it, Asia explains how to create one in the video above.
Check out our article for more information about model comp cards: https://fashionrepublicmagazine.com/comp-card/
Comp Card Template can be access through the link below. A sample comp card created by using this template is attached.

(Optional) Modeling Resume1:35
A modeling resume is not mandatory for applying to modeling jobs. However, after you take modeling training and gain experience by doing modeling, it's good to create a resume where you list your experience and learnings.
Use the resume template attached to quickly create your own modeling resume.
