Dania Denise Nor-Cal Meet & Greet Update

Hey, readers!

So I have good news: the Dania Denise Meet & Greet opportunity I posted about before has gained momentum and has about 6 people so far that are interested in attending...yay! That means the window is still open for anyone that is just now finding out about the meet and greet and wants to be a part of it.

Don't know what the heck I'm talking about? Please click the link below to get the 411:

Attention, Nor-Cal/Bay Area Modeling 101 Readers: Dania Denise Meet & Greet Info

As I said in that original post, I would do a follow up post to update everybody about where I'm at with the event. Right now it's looking like we'll be holding the meet and greet on a Saturday in September. The location is likely going to be a Starbucks--the one in particular I have in mind is located at the Hacienda Crossings, which is in Dublin.

I like this Starbucks location because it is easy to find, is located right near the I-580/I-680 interchange, as well as being across the freeway from the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. So it's easily accessible. Plus, they have a nice large sitting area outside in case our group gets too big to stay indoors.

The door is still open for anybody else that wants to join...please read my original post at the link above to get the complete details about what the meet and greet is for, what to expect, etc. Then email me directly at: daniadenise@gmail.com to let me know what your best email address is to reach you at.

Please note that you must be okay with me adding your email address to the group that I am using to communicate with everyone privately about the event (no one's email address or other info will be shared on my blog or made public anywhere). Being able to send an email blast to the meet and greet attendees is a much more effective way to get everyone on the same page and cut down on the back and forth emails.

I'm very excited for the upcoming meet and greet and can't wait to talk shop about modeling with my readers in person!

Dania, is it possible for a small/not very known agency, to give you great and excelente jobs? -- What modeling website would you suggest for me to publicize my composite/portfolio? Those websites are competent? Better than being managed by agents?

hey, hows it going? i have a doubt. agencies work with other agencies? i mean, agencies can offer their models to other agencies or not? for example, an agency offering its model to ford models. thanks and success for you, have a good one!! :)

hi dania!
i just got signed to scout in san fran. as a high fashion model and I have my portfolio shoot this upcoming Saturday. I'm also meeting with the director for the first time that same week and i was wondering what to expect from both of these. I knew you would be the best person to ask because you've worked with scout :)

oh by the way, i was recruited to scout after meeting with ford in LA and they told me they work with and have close ties to scout. They said they are still interested in me but they want me to start my portfolio at scout. I'm kinda confused as to what might happen there too so I was hoping you can help

i know it's a lot :/ i just have a lot of questions haha

thanks so much!

Hi!
So I don't wear makeup very often but I know how to apply it and all tht stuff, and I can wear cute clothes and things like that, but when I go to take a photo is looks horrible! I've been told by many friends and family that I am pretty etc., and I read all sorts of photogenic tips and stuff but they never seem to work out. Thanks!

Modeling and Weight

One of the first things I hear potential models ask is what the weight requirement for modeling is. Sometimes that is the main issue they worry about when it comes to pursuing modeling. Let me tell you right now that weight should NOT be one of those concerns. Obviously, the height requirement reigns supreme when measuring up to the modeling standards sought out by agencies. If you meet the height requirements--whether it's for fashion and runway or commercial/print--that is the first step towards starting on the path to modeling. How much you weigh shouldn't be your biggest fear. It is rare that anyone can look at someone and say, "Oh, my gosh, he/she looks like they are 5 pounds over our weight requirement!" It just isn't realistic. If you look at many modeling agency websites, they clearly list the age and height requirements--rarely, if at all do they list any weight restrictions. The general rule of thumb when it comes to weight is that for models who

Modeling & Pay Rates: How Much Should You Charge?

(This post is more targeted towards freelance models and not those with agency representation, although it may apply to those that have an agent but continue to find their own work.) A part of being a successful model is making money from the jobs that you book. However, being a freelance model comes with many challenges--figuring out what you should charge is one of them. I will say upfront that there are no established black and white rules when it comes to pay rates. Each modeling job is different, each client is different and budgets vary. Ultimately the factors that should influence what you charge should be the amount of experience you have, the strength of the images in your portfolio and the client's budget/needs. Not every client is going to pay what you want to charge. There may be times when you will be skipped over for charging too much or taken advantage of for charging too little. It's going to happen so be prepared for it and do not take it personally. It

What Are Male Models Supposed to Look Like?

The modeling world is filled with women. That's never been a secret and sadly, that often means male models fall by the wayside. There are successful male models in all categories across the industry but the fact that the modeling business revolves around women can make it challenging for newbies to figure out how to pursue their goals of male modeling. It is important to know that because there are different types of modeling categories out there, that means there are also different types of male models. They aren't all supposed to look alike and what ends up being in demand does change every year. Let's break down the common attributes that come with male modeling in various popular categories, shall we? THE MALE FASHION/RUNWAY/EDITORIAL MODEL These are the typical types of models most of us tend to think of when it comes to men in modeling. What is important to know and understand if you're an aspiring male model is that agencies have all different looks
