me. | Modeling is a tough business. Contrary to popular perception its not just about looking pretty day in and day out. As an aspiring model you have to make innumerable rounds of visits to advertisement agencies and model coordinators for getting work. All these only after you get yourself a portfolio of your pictures. Apart from keeping aside a hefty sum of money (anything between Rs 15-40, 000) for making your portfolio, you first have to choose a good photographer.
There is no single right way to get in, it depends on your contacts and getting in touch with model cordinators.
