[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a model. A low-level one in Chicago -- think dance wear catalogs and fur salon shows and car shows, lol. But I did a few good projects and got a couple of national commercials.

Modeling is the opposite of the rest of the work world -- the men are second-class citizens, making far less money and often treated poorly. In much of print work they are simply foils to the woman in the picture. And there is far less work all around for them.

I wish I could tell you how to get started, but I can't, I was modeling in the 90s -- things are so different nowadays with the rise of the influencer. But I would say this: first things first, he needs to learn his angles before thinking about putting a portfolio together. [/quote]

I’m the PP whose teen DS did this for print/online work. So, he would put on an outfit and stand in front of the camera on the mark. The camera would give a series of beeps and he would hit his poses with each beep. It’s fast. The faster he hits his poses, the faster he can move through his outfits. I don’t know if this is what the PP means but angles but probably close enough. Each pose on the beep has to be one that suits his features and personality. The kids who do this are so amazingly good at it. My kid was okay. He’s also not drop dead gorgeous. He’s a decent looking kid with symmetrical features, very vaguely ethic, and a decent build.
