Child Modelling with Neon Models

Child Modelling with Neon Models

Neon Models is a website dedicated to helping new models break into modelling, by giving advice about the industry, how to approach modelling agencies, tips on how to behave like a professional model, how to build a portfolio that is an asset for your modelling career, and much much more.

Neon Models

Child modelling can be a fun way to spend a day with your child, and a good way to earn a little extra cash, and as you can imagine, there is always demand for fresh new faces, as the previous child models get older and move out of particular modelling age brackets.

Neon Models are committed to working with parents to ensure each child enters the modelling world safely, and that parent and child are both ready, and prepared for what's involved. We can assist to ensure you sign with a legitimate agency and avoid the wrong modelling agencies and industry pitfalls. Please register using the form if you'd like to speak to one of our new faces consultants.

There is a huge range of child modelling work available, from TV advertisements, magazine advertising, children's clothing catalogues, to even becoming a poster child for a children's organisation. The money made from child modelling may not be enough to set them up for life, but could be a nice contribution to education or other costs further down the road.

Hi James,


 Check out the Neon Models Blog!


I just wanted to say thank you. After attempting to ring ever since I left the test shoot, only to be met by voicemail( it may seem strange, but I dislike leaving voicemail messages) I decided to email you instead. I feel so lucky for you to have had so much confidence and faith in me, and I probably would never pursued a career in modelling if it weren’t for you. I thought you might like to see some of the photos from the shoot, since you so enthusiastic, so I’m leaving you the link to my web folio. I just wanted to say a big thank you, I am very grateful to you for all your help.

Neon Models Guide to Superfoods

If you want to be a successful model, then you’re body is your temple.

Models need to have flawless skin and perfect figures, and that means taking good care of yourself.

There are no shortcuts to good health, and the most important things are eating a healthy, balanced diet, avoiding toxins and getting plenty of sleep. And if you want to take care of your skin – stay out of the sun! Formore tips and advice on being model perfect, click here. 

In this article we’re going to look at the diet side of things, or more specifically – superfoods. What are superfoods, and which ones should you look out for

What are superfoods?

Superfoods is a term used to describe certain foods that have particularly strong or effective health benefits and may even help with some medical conditions. They may be able to help with everything from warding off heart disease, cancer and obesity.

Blueberries

Blueberries are one of the most well known superfoods, and are packed with anti-oxidants and phytoflavinoids. They are anti-inflammatory and can help reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer.

Frozen blueberries are just as good as fresh, and about ½ a cup a day should give you great health benefits.

Omega 3 rich fish

Fish has long been known as ‘brain food’ and as well as there being some evidence that it can help stave off memory loss and Alzheimer’s, it may also be able to help avoid depression.

Wild salmon, herrings, sardines and mackerel are the best – but if you really can’t stand fish, you can get the same kind of benefits from fortified eggs, flax seed and walnuts.

Tea

Since ancient times, tea has been thought of as the miracle drink, and has been said to cure all manner of ailments over the centuries. Green tea in particular has been shown to be associated with lower cholesterol and the inhibition of cancer cells. But of course, it still has caffeine, so don’t overdo it!

Modelling Agency Policies

Bookings

Booking times must be specified by the client in advance, and if the shoot runs over, the model’s time will be charged for in 15 minute increments. Common sense is usually applied here, and when the model is filling out a form, if the booking only went over by a minute or two, it would be considered impolite to charge for another fifteen minute block.

Overtime Rates

Models usually get paid overtime (time and a half) on Saturdays or if bookings are for longer than eight consecutive hours. Overtime rates can also apply to Sundays and holidays, but are usually negotiated on a case by case basis. There are also special rates for underwear or nude work, but this is usually negotiated on a case by case basis.

Cancellations

If the booking is cancelled with more than 24 hours’ notice, then usually a cancelling fee will not apply. However, if it’s less than this the Modelling Agency may charge in full, unless the booking is rescheduled, in which case they may be more lenient.  Sometimes a ‘weather permit’ will be stated at the time of booking, and if the described type of weather is not occurring when the shoot is taking place, is can affect the cancellation rates.

Travel time and expenses

Will be negotiated for each modelling job, but typically, for jobs within a certain radius, the client will not be responsibility for covering expenses or model’s travel time. However, if the shoot is outside that radius, they may need to pay the costs and in part or full for the model’s time.

Wardrobe

As standard, a model may bring up to three outfits from their own clothing for commercial work, but the client will be expected to provide any specific clothing that is required. Naturally for fashion modelling, the client will provide the clothing!

Employment

Models are not the employees of the modelling agency, and work on a self-employed basis. As such they are responsible for their own tax arrangements.

Usage

Rights of usage of the photographs are limited to the specifics detailed in the model release document, and all other rights are reserved. If a modelling agency discovers a breach of these restrictions they may demand appropriate remuneration. Print rights are usually for one year, unless stated otherwise. The modelling agency also withholds usage rights until they have been paid in full by the client.

Modelling Agency Contracts

A contract with a modelling agency seems like the holy grail for aspiring models, but unfortunately, too many models rush in too eagerly, and only find out what they’ve agreed to later.

Pressure to Sign a Modelling Agency Contract

Modelling Agency contracts are often very long and filled with legalise, and can be very daunting for anyone who’s not a lawyer, let alone someone who may be very young and inexperienced with contracts.

The contract will often be presented as a ‘take it or leave it’ offer, and the modelling agency may even pressure the model to sign it on the spot, saying that the offer will be off the table if the model doesn’t make up her or his mind right away.

But a new model should resist this pressure. If possible, take the contract away and genuinely try to read it, not matter how difficult it may seem. It may even be worth paying for the services of a lawyer to check it over. And, if there are any clauses that the model isn’t happy with, she can ask for the contract to be amended.

What will the Modelling Agency Offer

A modelling agency contract will never guarantee you work, and in most cases, it will be heavily biased in favour of the agency, offering you very little. This is normal and is simply there to legally cover the modelling agency. After all, they can’t guarantee you work, as you must complete with other models and it’s the clients who make the final decision. It’s in the modelling agency’s interests to promise very little and then overdeliver. Otherwise, if they have any written commitments to get work for models, if it’s not possible, the model will come complaining to them. This doesn’t mean that the modelling agency isn’t going to try their hardest to find work for you, just that it can’t be guaranteed.

Length of Modelling Contracts

Modelling contracts can range from one year to five years and they may be fixed, or it may be possible to cancel them from either side before the time period is up. Whether it’s good to have a long or short contract depends on the relationship between the modelling agency and model, and how hard each are working for the other.

Neon Models Review – How to be a model

When you take your first baby steps into the world of modelling, you will find a bewildering array of conflicting advice and so many companies out there who claim to want to help you become a model.

If you want to navigate safely through it you will probably be looking up reviews of modelling agencies and reading articles about modelling, to find out how you need to take care of your body, how to stay safe and what people will expect from you as a professional model.

Neon Models reviews can help you, by reviewing the modelling agencies and offering services to help aspiring models get their foot in the door and start building up a professional portfolio, which is a must have for any model – as it is what is used by clients to decide on which models they are going to use for their fashion and marketing campaigns.

Be careful if you want to break into modelling, and keep an eye out for fake modelling agencies, who promise that they will be able to get you work, but insist that you have to pay them a fee up front. Also, never apply for modelling jobs that you find in online listings or in the back of magazines, especially if they ask you to go to a home address or a hotel room – these are very dangerous!
