Hey Nikki, thanks for the feedback, it’s a shame agencies don’t do that, hopefully now with so much information available on the web, models will take a look before starting out.

I have been with many agencies for a number of years but not one of them has ever given me any advice on safety precautions. Perhaps agencies think it should be common sense on the models part, but when you are swept up in doing a job its not always that easy. An agency might know where you are on a particular day but that’s not much good if no-one else knows what agency you’re working for – agencies don’t ring to check you’ve made it home safe!

I’m sure many big agencies take a lucky few under their wing when they first start modelling and teach them the ways of the modelling world, but i’m pretty sure the majority are just thrown in at the deep end. I wish I had been given more advice on how to work in this industry before I started modelling, rather than having to figure it out myself through trial and error!

Haha, I hadn’t thought of it that way, but now you mention it, “Come to my place as I’d really like to shoot you” could be taken the wrong way!

There’s nothing like someone inviting me into their ‘place of shooting’ to make me feel comfortable! 😛
