Pictures ar one of the most important things when applying for a model agency. The agencies need to see Your face and body shoot in a clean and professional way.

That is why when creating Your prifle at Models Connect is imperative that You follow some basic rules.

If You do not have polaroids or professional portfolio pictures do not upload images from Your personal archive.

Your profile at Models Connect works as an online portfolio and agencies will not look at Your pictures if they are not clear. Blurred pictures; pictures taken at clubs or bars; pictures with You and friends are just some examples of photos You should NEVER use.

If You are free member please upload 2 Polaroids or professional pictures (NOT MAKEOVER) as your face and body shoot.

How to take a good polaroid How to measure yourself properly Which pictures we do not accept
 
Measure yourself

1. First of all try and have somebody else taking your measurements for you, as both the temptation to cheat and inaccuracy due to the difficulty of taking them, will make it very hard to give a clear measurement.

2. Take your measurements in underwear or tight thin fabric only. Make sure there is nothing in your pockets or fabric bagging under your arms etc.

3. To take the bust/chest measurement, put your arms down at your side, with the tape underneath them. Position the tape so it covers the widest part of the back and the fullest part of the bust.

4. When measuring the waist, place the tape around the smallest part of your waistline. Do not pull the tape tight or suck in your stomach! This could cause embarrassing situations later if you get a job from these measurements and you fail to fit the clothes.

5. To take an accurate hips measurement, place your heels together and position the tape around the widest part of the bottom and bring across the widest part of the thigh. Always place a thumb behind the tape and do not pull it too tightly.

 

If you are facing problems when uploading your pictures it must be for one of the following reasons:

1. You picture is too big: We just accept pictures up to 6 Mb. If you don't know the size of your picture, click in it with the right button of your mouse and go to properties. There you will be able to see the size. Make sure that you also check the resolution. If it is more than 300x300 pixels we can not accept it.

2. Your have your picture in a different type of file: Save your picture as JPEG or GIF before uploading them. We don not accept any other type of file.

How to re-size you picture:
To re-size your pictures you will need an image editing software. If you do not have access to any you can sign up for a free 30 day trial with Adobe Elements. With Adobe Elements you can re-size or crop your image, change the colour or contrast and save your images as JPG or GIF.
