- Do you have professional Portfolio?
 Do you have outstanding portfolio? Shot by a professional photographer who is having state art of photography equipments, well equipped studio, professional makeup and hair artists, Photoshop, wardrobe collections/designer. Never approach to a photographer who is not having his/her own studio, needless to say that photographer is not established. Most of them just make you fool out of you by giving tempting offer of fake assignment just make quick money by the new comers. Also never make a portfolio by the modeling and casting agency. We have observed, there are so many modeling agencies in Mumbai, they use to charge minimum Rs.15,000/-- 20,000/- onwards from the new comer and finally paying just Rs.3000 – 5000 to their in-house photographer or a novice photographer. So end of the day you get a very lousy portfolio at miserable price. We have come across lots of victim of those agencies. If you want, we can guide you about the professional photographer and will give you tips how to prepare yourself to make a good portfolio.

- Do you have right direction?
Once you are good performer and having a great portfolio. Now, you are well prepared to market and promote yourself. Do you have anybody to guide you how to go further? Unfortunately in Mumbai, Delhi or any other cities of India. By and large all these casting and coordination agencies set up their goal to snatch as much as money from the new comers for the name of registration, enrolment fee, association cards, cheap portfolio etc., They perceive your dreams as your weakness and trap the new comers with sugar coated talks to INCASH your weakness with tempting offers of assignments. So be aware about those agencies and coordinators. Of course, you should be smart enough to justify the credibility of an agency and a coordinator. Try to approach the genuine and professional agencies and direct approach to production houses with a outstanding portfolio and confidence of performance.

Once you have a nice portfolio and quite confident in terms of your performance, you can assume that you are a good product. And always remember, a good product can’t be positioned as a “brand” without proper marketing. So try to study and analyze the entire market of acting, modeling and glamour industry. And try to obtain collect contact details of maximum production houses, casting directors, modeling and casting agencies and keep on mailing pictures to them, afterwards follow your mails with personal call for meetings. Beside that you have to plan out your day for physical approach to industry people. While approaching to them, you should be quite confident, presentable with friendly attitude but yet simple and down to earth. Never try to do any show off or hangover of any previous assignment. Always remember, whatever talents and looks you have….if a casting director notice a bit of superiority and counterfeit attitude. You will be dropped in seconds and they might delete your pictures and contact nos once you leave from there. So carry your simple and friendly attitudes, at the same time..Never plead or show your voracity for assignments. You should present yourself in well balanced manner and attitudes.
