modeling today
by Etienne des Roys (Karin Models Agency manager)
Today modeling activity is a reel occupation and very controlled
Models agencies must have a license and follow the rules
of a collective agreement.
This agreement protect models and became a foundation for model agencies
members of Sy. N.A.M.
A model today must be minimum 5'9, photograph well and
get those qualities of life;
A strong goodwill, a lot of conscientious and ability to deal with customers.
It is here that we can find the link with the job of an actor.
The same qualities are requested for actors even if those
jobs are very different.
For acting you must got it under your skin and give all your personality.
A lot of actors are doing now, advertisings for big brands when they become
famous for fragrances, beauty products.
Monica Bellucci, Isabelle Adjani, Charlize Theron, Sharon Stone, Georges Clooney...
When you are model , you must know that this profession is constantly changing.
But it's a beautiful and enriching experience for all your life.
