If your child is shy - perhaps you should not force your child into the modeling business... Your child has to be the opposite and enthusiastic and a child has to enjoy the center of the attention. Modeling is hard work and not always easy. And yes - sometimes the child has to be focus and ability to stand still for at least 10-15min. #modelcoach #modelmanagement #photography #photographer #kidsmodeling #teensphotographer #childmodeling #posing #modelingschool #nyc #newyorkci

Confidence is the key to me a model. If you are shy and you are unable to be in a room with stranger and even talk to stranger - than move on. Modeling business is not easy and yes you have to talk and be around with adults. Confidence is a "must have" in the industry. www.sabine-ganatz.com #modelcoach #modelmanagement #photography #photographer #kidsmodeling #teensphotographer #childmodeling #posing #modelingschool #nyc #newyorkcity #losangeles #london #dubai #philadelphia #

You have to deal with rejections. It has nothing to do that you are not likeable or "good looking". Sometimes it is about the shoe size, or your type or you are not the right fit for the campaign. Think positive - and keep in mind - not every job is for you but you still have to do a lot of castings and handle rejections till you get the right job for you. #modelcoach #modelmanagement #photography #photographer #kidsmodeling #teensphotographer #childmodeling #posing #modelin

Some clients try to arrange the photo shoot at the weekend but sometimes a photo shooting is weekdays. If your child not very good with catching up with schoolwork then perhaps you/ your child should not be in the model business. School is important and NEVER miss a lot of modeling castings/ or jobs. And don't even think about it - to leave your school. #modelcoach #modelmanagement #photography #photographer #kidsmodeling #teensphotographer #childmodeling #posing #modelingsc

At the beginning is not a full time job but it takes time to get to castings. Sometimes you have to go to 10-20 Castings to get your first job. Are you able to do that? If you work with an agency, the best thing is - that you have time to go to casting. If an agency calls you 3-4 times to go to a casting and you always tell them " sorry - no time" then you should not be in the modeling industry. www.sabine-ganatz.com #modelcoach #modelmanagement #photography #photographer #ki

Please NEVER do nude pics or naked pictures. Please make sure your kids / teenager / children are wearing cloth when you send pics to an agency www.sabine-ganatz.com #modelcoach #modelmanagement #photography #photographer #kidsmodeling #teensphotographer #childmodeling #posing #modelingschool #nyc #newyorkcity #losangeles #london #dubai #philadelphia #miami #manhattan #confidenceworkshop #highheelstraining #posingclass #fashionshowtraining #fashionshoworganization

No face paint on your kids when you send pics to an agency. No face paint. If you send pictures to an agency please NEVER send a face picture with a butterfly or a tiger on the face. The agency is unable to see the natural face. This is not necessary You would be surprised how many tigers or butterflies we have been submitted. As an agent we can’t judge a child from such a picture, as we can’t see their face. www.sabine-ganatz.com #modelcoach #modelmanagement #photography #p

No dress-up for a kids portfolio Natural "day by day" is the best for a portfolio shooting. Please use natural poses and not too over posed o many Don't take away the natural look of your child / teenager. www.sabine-ganatz.com #modelcoach #modelmanagement #photography #photographer #kidsmodeling #teensphotographer #childmodeling #posing #modelingschool #nyc #newyorkcity #losangeles #london #dubai #philadelphia #miami #manhattan #confidenceworkshop #highheelstraining #pos

Sunglasses are a NO! No sunglasses, not on babies, not on kids, not on an adult model. You are unable to see the color of the eyes by sunglasses. www.sabine-ganatz.com #kidsmodeling #teensphotography #modelmanagement #nyc #newyorkcity #losangeles #manhattan #photography #modelcoach #modelingschool #london #dubai #confidenceworkshop #modeling #posingclass #philadelphia

This includes caps, all kind of hats, and even all kind hairbands. This takes the focus away from the baby. And for older children: you are unable to see the nice hair and the whole head. www.sabine-ganatz.com #modelingschool #modelcoach #modelmanagement #nyc #losangeles #newyorkcity #lasvegas #london #dubai #philadelphia #kidsmodeling #teensmodeling #posingclass #confidenceworkshop #london #photography #photographer #fashionshowplanner #highheelstraining
