A Natural Already?
Around the world, companies are expanding their product lines to cater to children, so Child models are becoming more popular. Discovery Models is a great place to start if you think your child would be good at modeling.
Other than age, there are no requirements or restrictions for child models, but they should have a lot of personality to show. In addition, it is extremely crucial that your child is patient and comfortable in front of the camera, or as patient as you can expect them to be!
TYPES OF CHILD MODEL WORK
It appears that there is a boom in demand for child models around the holiday season, so Christmas and Thanksgiving are usually the best times for opportunities to arise, but there are agencies and companies that need child models all year long. The work can be for television, magazines or catalogs, and it can be fairly consistent.
DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A MODEL?
The most important thing is for your child to feel comfortable with the camera, as there will usually be a lot of people in the studio during a shoot. To avoid wasting time and effort down the road, bring your child along to a Discovery Models shoot to find out if they’re a good fit. Then you will know whether modeling is worth pursuing, or if your child isn’t into it.
