Customer Reviews

Unlike anything else you'll ever find...

When I got this book I was interested in becoming a model, not knowing anything about the business or how to get started. It took me a long time to finish the book because I was busy taking notes and there is so much information to take in. The book doesn't miss a thing! Everything you ever need to know about starting into a business like this is in there. Things from what you need to get started, proper poses,information on the financial side of things, hair/makeup application, walking, and checklists for what you need to buy. The price of this book was well worth it. I have read other modeling books and they do not come close to this one. Although I recommend this book over all the others out there, it is a little out of date. Even knowing this, anyone truly interested in knowing all you can before starting your modeling career should invest in this book. Have fun reading!

The Best Modeling Book Out There!

I've read many modeling books, but I think that this book is the best because it gives you information about make-up, hair, photo sessions, analyzing your face, agency information, and etc. There is so much information in here that I had to read at least 5 books for. I bought this book after 2 years of modeling and I wish I had read it when I was starting out. This is a great book to add to your collection and if you are a model you should always be reading books and studying your field. Don't get started until you are absolutely sure this is what you want and you know everything about the industry. Good Luck!

By Far the best Modeling Book out there

This book will tell you everything! I owned it for years and it gives you great tips on Modeling as well as how to represent yourself In Modeling. I Highly Recommend it.

Don't waste thousands of dollars on classes!

If you are interested in modeling, & have considered paying a school for classes ... DON'T! This book will teach you the things you need to know for far less than the schools would charge you. The book may sound expensive, but not when you compare it to the $2000 + the schools want to charge you. You will learn how to pose, how to walk, how to apply your make-up & do your hair (you may think you know that already, but in modeling there is so much more to it), it will basicly give you all the things you need to know to get started in modeling. I just cant say enough about how wonderful I feel this book is!
