How to become a teen model?

While many models are represented by an agency, it is common to audition for each shoot or show by attending a casting call. There are very few formal qualifications to become a teen model, but there are a variety of skills and qualities that agents, fashion designers, and photographers look for when they audition. For a catwalk or runway show, there is typically a physical type that an employer is looking to fill—for example, many runway models are of above average height. A teen model with distinct or unique features may be more successful, but balance and comfort in the spotlight are essential. The primary duties of a teen model involve modeling clothing or accessories in advertising photo shoots or fashion shows, which may require extensive time with a makeup artist or stylist.
