The Model Start-Up: How to Break into Modeling & Acting at Home or Abroad

by Cynthia Popper, Carlos Gardoza (Editor), Tatianna Villa (Illustrator)

Modeling is not easy money or instant fame. Overexposed, underpaid, exploited, models are freelance mobile workers who often fall prey to dangerously bad business practices, not to mention the personal demons of body image, and self worth. But if you're smart about how you enter this industry, modeling can be fun, creative, and lucrative work that can take you all over the world.The Model Start Up asks you to treat your modeling career like a new company. Models who make career decisions based on both emotional and financial ROI are happier, more professional, and markedly more successful. Structured in a step-by-step format, the guide walks you through all of the ins and outs of getting started, plus a special section on modeling in Japan.
