Aspiring models to be taught about industry
ASPIRING models wondering how to get their start in the industry are being given the chance to learn from professionals at Clique’s Modelling Masterclass.
Clique Modelling Agency director Lex Williams, Lumionsa’s Ellie Burgoyne and Theresa Hall from Theresa Hall Photography are collaborating to bring the event to Toowoomba.
Participants will learn the first steps of becoming a professional model. They will find out what they need to bring to shoots, how to approach photographers, about skin care, the language and etiquette needed on shoots as well as the importance of having a professional social media account.
An international model will also be there to share her experience.
They will have their make-up done professionally by Ms Burgoyne and then have portfolio photos taken by Ms Hall.
Ms Williams has been modelling since she was 17 and said she wanted to help others reach their goal.
“We want to help aspiring models harness their strengths and let them know they don’t have to be like everyone else to be successful. It’s about being individual,” she said.
“The event has only just been announced and we’ve been shocked after receiving hundreds of messages.
“There are so many people of all different ages who want to give it a go.
“I am very body positive so I sign plus-sized models as well. Someone gave me a chance so I want to give people a chance too.”
