Hello! My name is Renee Lauren, and just like you, I dreamed of
being a model.
For me, that dream already came true…
That’s why I’ve producing this guide for YOU, specially to help you
enter this fabulous modeling world, safely and with confidence!
It’s every bit as great as you can imagine - because if you do things
properly, this business can actually be both fun and easy, as
well as well-paid! There’s a huge demand out there for all kinds of models, child
models, fashion, hand models, male models - all sorts!
But what saddens me, is for so many people the dream dies, before they can really start.
Every day my heart is torn watching potential career models making terrible mistakes in their applications, suffering bad advice and worse, being outright scammed.
You see, I was incredibly, unbelievably, lucky.
I still get shivers thinking how my career may have been, if I hadn’t had such good advice!
I started modeling when my friend Carol and I were working at a travel agency (I was the receptionist). A director for the Bahamas tourist board asked me and Carol to go to the Islands and do advertising photo shoots for them. Wa-hoo! Not a shoot, shoots! As the models!
We were both young, pretty and confident - but there was one big difference...
I pestered and got coaching from a phenomenal friend and model photographer in New York, someone I could trust and knew what he was talking about.
Carol's advice came from well-meaning friends and family, who advised her not to go to the Bahamas but to apply to an agency instead. Her application was turned down, while I eventually ended up working with that same New York agency!
Since then I’ve been in this business for 15 years and I’ve created this downloadable 135 page guide for you, with the help of lots of fashion insiders, because you shouldn’t ever have to rely on good luck or bad advice!
Ever.
Here’s why you should listen up…
Today I'm the owner of Models' Fashion Advice and an executive at the famous Click agency.
We’ve worked with all the top magazines; I have girls in Seventeen Magazine, Girls Life, Shape, Mens Health, Vogue, Parents Magazine, J.C. Penney, Tommy Hilfiger, MTV, Abercrombie and Fitch and this month will have our first layout for Vogue Bambini (coveted for children). We get amazing work and represent well over 20 Miss USA girls from around the country with our agency, including one girl who was third runner up in Miss Universe.
…Because if you answered yes to those questions then you NEED to read this!
Model Agency Director Renee Lauren
I’ve even judged for several state Miss USA Delaware, NJ pageants and this year will do Maryland and NJ again.
I’m not revealing ‘trade’ secrets from my agency - but I’m certainly telling you the secrets of modeling agencies in general, especially the most critical part…
…how to become accepted as a model in the first place!

What Does Success Look Like?
I started working directly for the agency in 2003 because I was in a car accident and couldn’t work for awhile, so tried to help my clients find a temp' replacement for my modelling gigs.
From there I could see what really goes on behind the scenes, what we talk about when you leave the room, what qualities we look for - and avoid - and why most applications go straight in the bin!
But for those that do make it, it can be a wonderful, dizzy experience and I love helping them!
5 minutes notice and zoom - You’re off to fantastic locations, Paris, London, Hong Kong (new products every day!) and of course the world’s most beautiful beaches, even the Borneo rainforest!
Sometimes you pop home again; sometimes it’s straight off to another location…
You can have some really long days but when you’re in a great place, the center of attention, among awesome, talented people - I really don’t think they’re long enough ;-)
I’ll never forget my first beach shoot. Being from Philly I know beaches but this was something else, the crisp scent of the ocean, soft white sand between my toes, bathed in sunshine; even the sea gulls were pretty. And of course I was treated as the most important person on the entire island - which as 'The Model' - I was!
But don’t tell the Art Director I said that…

Who Can’t Be a Model?
Sadly some people are just not suited to this career. Things such as persistently poor skin, uneven features - or the wrong attitude - can prevent your career from starting.
Of course the most common cause of failure is relying on luck, or thinking that just because you’re good-looking the agencies will want you.
Agencies get literally thousands of applications from good-looking hopeful wannabes.
You need to know how to stand out!

Child Modeling
Child Modeling
Give your child a head-start in the exciting and well-paid world of modeling!
As long as you’re dealing with a proper agency this is perfectly safe, though any good agency, including ours, will understand your natural concerns. It’s perfectly acceptable for you to be on set or location, in fact for the first few shoots I strongly recommend it - if only for your sake!
In time a trusted adult may be enough but when you’re present, please let your child get used to the director and photographer giving directions. If you just stay visible and smile encouragingly it will make you both feel better.
With Let's Model, you'll learn...

Stop the press! A VERY common problem that ruins the chances of so many applicants is poor quality photographs.
When you first try to work with an agency, no-one is expecting you to have a professionally produced portfolio. After all, we all have to start somewhere, right?
