Modeling casting confessions

When you are freelancing as a model you can still be picky. Many people who want to be models are so much in a rush they don't really THINK about the casting they are going on, and just accept any opportunity. This is a bad idea.

It is better to go on a few GREAT castings then a bunch of crappy ones or to do modeling jobs that really get you no where. I think that is the problem the internet brings, it makes for scams, and mistakes by the aspiring models. If you do want to really model with brands and get an agency, then you really need to be careful about who you work with, without losing your ambition and drive.

Don't be in such a rush that you end up getting in a bad situation, work with someone who is not serious, or worse. The internet can really mislead an aspiring model and you have to be careful who you work with, be picky about the photographer, the production, the film, the magazine you shoot with. If it isn't someone who has credits, and if it isn't a project that has passion beyond it, it might be better to skip it.
