#Selfie

#IndustryAdvice.

Why you might want to keep a current selfie on your phone/lap top:

Yes the #selfie does in fact have a legitimate purpose as far as booking modeling/acting work, but you're probably using it wrong lol.
While most aspiring models will send selfies as submissions for castings when the client in fact wants professional images, there ARE jobs you can book with ONLY clear, current selfies and there are also castings that request both professional images AND a selfie.

Most HAIR MODELING casting calls will ask for a selfie or non-pro image so they can see what your hair and skin CURRENTLY look like. Hair Modeling work can pay anywhere from $100-$2,000 and up.

Casting directors for TV, Film and print work may also ask for a selfie or non-pro image in order to see what you ACTUALLY look like..right now.  They want to know what your face and body looks like without lighting and photo shop.

So at least once a month weather you have a casting to submit to or not, take a minute and take a clear, well lit head shot selfie and a full body/mirror selfie so that when the casting call comes along that requests it, you're ahead of the game.
