Has anyone seen how Latitude Talent Works in NYC? 

Anyone looking to become a model is immediately wondering what are the best and real ways to get started as a model in New York. You have a couple of options, either find an local photographer to blow money on (not the best idea unless you know what you are doing) or seek out a talent agency to get representative. Unless you are the 5% of talent that actually have the exact look for a modeling agency, you are going to have to start working from the bottom up to get started.
Latitude Talent has some amazing reviews for a reason, one of them is best the cost factor to start with Latitude is not only extremely, extremely affordable, it’s is a legit service to help steer you in the right direction.
Any model or actor that says getting started is as easy as contacting a local agent who will do all the work for you is lying (and isn’t a signed model.) Why would any one invest money in a person who has no experience? Anything worth having is worth investing in.
Latitude Talent Studios is one of the best companies to work with as a model or actor. Check out Latitude Talent reviews and learn how it works!

The Real Cost to Become a Model

There are so many articles online that claim to help you become a model, the problem is that most of the information is out-dated and written by people who have no real industry experience.
Many claim as a new model, you should never have to pay for your own marketing. Not only is this flat out wrong, it hurts those who have real potential from investing in themselves. This rumor was started in the 1980’s when a modeling agency would cover all expenses to start, then recoup them after a booked job. Some agencies will front these cost to select talent however, most will have to invest in themselves, especially when just starting out.
With the rise of digital media, models are paid less and this has caused agencies to have various fee’s they pass along to the models.
In this article, we discuss the things that new models must invest in, versus what is a waste of money.

Head Shots
These are a must for any model or actor. Without professional photography, it will be very hard to land casting calls. For every one casting call, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of people applying for the same casting.
To stand out, you must have real photographs, however you do not need to spend thousands of dollars on them.
Comp Cards
In the past, comp cards were printed out and mailed, now they are digital in most major markets like New York or Miami. Comp cards are hard to generate on your own. Many agencies and companies such as Latitude Talent Studios have software to help generate comp cards on demand.
Marketing
You can try to model yourself and build your brand, but there are so many models doing it, so its easy to get lost in the mix. Getting help from a talent marketing service is worth it if you are trying to become a model.

3 Steps to Become a Social Media Influencer

Did you know a social media influencer has the same status as a fashion model in today’s environment?

When most people think of modeling, the first thing they think of is magazines, runway and print advertising. While that’s a major advertising outlet for companies which obviously feature models, becoming an Instagram influencer or social media celebrity can afford you the same opportunities as a model.

Becoming an influencer however, is just as difficult as becoming a model. Here are 3 easy steps to become a social media influencer:

1.) Build your personal brand

In order to become an influencer, it is very important to build your personal brand. If you have a certain focus, desire and passion, let’s say fashion, it is important to build your Instagram or Facebook profile and post around this topic. Whatever your favorite stores are, or favorite outfits, feature them in your social media posts and be sure to tag the retail brands. This is a great way to get the attention of new and potential followers, as well as the brand themselves.

2.) Get followers

This is probably one of the most difficult things to do when building a personal brand, is to actually get followers that care about you and what you represent. Be sure to research and use a lot of hashtags in your Instagram post to get the attention of a potential audience. Be sure to post content often to keep your audience engaged.
