Z cards are a modelling version of business cards and it shows your versatility and scope as a model. A Z-Card can be handed out and left with potential clients and agencies. A Z-Card will generally include around 4-6 images of different looks and styles along with your statistic i.e. height, age, dress size as well as your main contact information. Z-Cards have been around for many years and are very popular with professional models as a means to market them into modelling work. The images must be of a high standard. Amateur photographs will not suffice and will cost you opportunities. Seek out a professional photographer who has relevant experience to shoot quality images that show your model capabilities. Gather a small selection of images to use on your Z-Card that you are proud of and demonstrates your potential. Your edit of shots will act as a representation of your talent.

By Tyra Banks Model Don'ts (and a Do)  Do not be a "no-neck monster." Try to elongate your neck for maximum extension.  Do not pose like a hoochie. (If you don't know what a hoochie is, er...that's probably best.)  Do not be a limp noodle. Always pose with tension in your body completely from H2T (head to toe).  Do not play it safe and stay in the same pose. Mix it up with innovative poses. Your wildest pose could be the one that's picked.  Do not show up to a photo shoot unless you are clean shaven, have a clean face, and clean hair.  Do not stare aimlessly when posing. Create intensity for the camera through your eyes. Smize (smile with your eyes)!  Do not slouch on the runway; pretend you have a wire through your spine that is pulling you up to the ceiling.  Do not be forgettable. Make an impression by showing your distinctive personality.

1. RECTANGLE OR BANANA: If your waist measurements are about the same as your hip or bust, and your shoulders and hips are about the same width, you have what’s called a “banana” or rectangle body type. 2. TRIANGLE OR PEAR:  With this shape, your shoulders and bust are narrower than your hips. You probably have slim arms and a fairly defined waist. 3. SPOON: The spoon body type is pretty similar to the triangle or “pear” shape. Your hips are larger than your bust or the rest of your body and may have a “shelf”-like appearance. You likely have a defined waist. You may also carry some weight in your upper arms and upper thighs. 4. HOURGLASS: If your hips and bust are nearly equal in size and you have a well-defined waist that’s narrower than both, you have an hourglass shape. Your legs and upper body are probably considered proportionate. Your shoulders may be slightly rounded, and you most likely have a rounded buttocks. 5. TOP HOURGLASS: As a top hourglass, you...

The unfortunate truth is that not everybody can be trusted within the modeling industry (or any industry for that matter!) More than anything do not ignore red flags, it’s important that you comprehend and act on the warning signs. Under no circumstances is it appropriate for an agency to request nude photographs. Reputable agencies, with the exception of child modeling, also do not take money from you in order to be represented. When signing contracts make sure to thoroughly highlight and consult your agent before signing. A parent or trusted guardian should always accompany minors when applying and auditioning for agencies and jobs. Should anyone from a photographer to a casting director make you feel uncomfortable, put your safety first and leave promptly.
