Editorial Reviews

Video Librarian, January 2000

"Nicely paced...a very straightforward, realistic presentation of what being a model requires and entails, this is highly recommended."

Product Description

While nearly all women dream of being a model at some point in their lives, very few understand the work involved in being successful in this demanding field, much less how to get started. Model's Boot Camp explains the size requirements for all modeling markets--including commercial, showroom, runway, catalog, parts, and kids modeling--as well as what to expect on the job, while photographer Ike Solomon shows how to find a good photographer and compile a proper portfolio. And it covers the business of modeling in detail--marketing yourself, how to find a reputable agency, how to avoid scams, and much more. It's a must for anyone interested in this exciting field.

Model's Bootcamp is a great video that tells potential models exactly what they need to know to begin their career. As the Agency Director of Look Model Management, I recommend it to all of my new models. You will learn the different types of modeling, how to begin marketing yourself, and what scams there are out there and how to avoid them. The video also shows you the basics to a good headshot, a must for beginners. If you are not sure what type of modeling you would fit into, the video will help you find out. It has clear, concise information that everyone considering becoming a model needs to know. If you ever thought about becoming a model, this video is a must have!

1.0 out of 5 stars What were they thinking?, December 29, 2004

This review is from: Break Into Acting [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Please, for the love of God do not buy this DVD. It was sent to me when I signed up for an online portfolio service, so I did not have to pay for it (thankfully). I did however, sit and laugh for 45 minutes. This thing had to have been done in the 80's. While it was a good opportunity for the featured model, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She never smiles through a whole scene, instead going between "This is fun!" to "What is this guy talking about?". It's almost as if someone is sitting off to the side going smile, don't smile, smile, stop smiling, smile, look off into space there dear! If you want to know anything about the industry, take it from me: Ask a real person who does any kind of print work. Go ask your local photographer. Just don't waste your hard earned money on this DVD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, but not the worst..., March 4, 2004

My advise is that you CAN get this tape.... it had somehelpful tips... but not a lot. It's not really worth it. It goes over what we all know. And the "How To Pose" is a joke. It should be changed to "How To Look Constipated." You'd be better off getting a book about modeling. Don't overlook modeling school!! I am currently in a school and I have learned A LOT! That's the best information that I have ever found!
