From Blue Skies to Bright Lights: Why Spring Is a Brilliant Time to Start Modelling

  • Postedby Jo

Close your eyes for a minute, if you will, and imagine what a perfect spring day looks and smells like.

If you do this, you won’t be able to read this sentence, so let’s skip forward a few moments.

Apply to be a model

Right, what did you imagine on that fine spring day? Verdant pastures and birds soaring in clear blue skies? Scented flowers flourishing in meadows, stimulated by the sun’s warmth and a new optimism? Happy families and couples roaming happily in idyllic landscapes?

Sounds sublime, doesn’t it?

And that’s why the early-mid part of the year is one of the best times for any model – commercial or otherwise – to get snapping away or uploading eye-catching reels to promote your best assets. Taking advantage of optimal lighting and backgrounds really benefits your portfolio images, and these will be the first things a client sees when we put models forward for suitable jobs.

First impressions count. A model could take a hundred photos and be truly happy with a handful of them. It’s counterproductive to upload anything to a portfolio that might not impress those that make the ultimate decisions, so models must think about the quality of images and how they are trying to represent themselves. Spring can improve any type of photo or reel, allowing clearer, more accurate images, together with effective backgrounds to show off any model’s talent. So, embrace spring and use its benefits to your own personal advantage.

Regardless of its physical qualities, spring is a wonderful time for any model to get organised. It’s a time to think ahead and to look forward to the rest of the year. Spring is about growth and rejuvenation, and this should apply equally to any commercial model’s mindset. It really is the ideal time to take modelling seriously – including registering with a reputable modelling employment agency to give yourself the best chance of being seen by thousands of notable brands.

Spring is synonymous with serenity and rebirth. It’s represented by longer, brighter days, and an air of anticipation when we embrace warmer weather and look ahead to summer. When we think of spring we imagine pastoral colours, so incorporate these into your portfolio photos. Use gentle greens and mellow yellows, baby blues and soft pinks. Let spring get you into character to become a model.

So don’t procrastinate – use the spring months to elevate your portfolio to new levels and see where it takes you. Hopefully you’ll be more confident than ever that your talents will be seen by those that make the decisions – the thousands of brands we call our loyal clients.
