Overview

Can I still be a model if I didn't get into an agency? How can I make money from modelling? How can I raise my profile as a model online? Anita De Bauch, full-time professional model and cover girl sponsored by numerous fashion and beauty companies, honestly and comprehensively reveals her tried and tested business tactics to maximise profits without being signed to an agency, posing techniques to unlock your natural beauty, and invites expert guests to share game-changing nutrition advice and personal stories of real life in the modelling industry. Anita De Bauch reveals the real truth about freelance modelling, where she travels the world working with everyone from SHOWstudio to Perou (of TV's Dirty Sexy Things and Make Me a Super Model), wearing everything from Vivienne Westwood to unique latex couture, and makes her fortune modelling fashion, lingerie, commercial, glamour, fetish, alternative, vintage styles and artistic nudes. In How To Model Without an Agency, Anita shows step by step how she achieved her status and continues to succeed in the world of modelling without being signed to an agency, or being over 5'8 , or being under 21: I wrote this book because I want women to realise that they don't need perfect genetics, a personal styling team, thousands to spend on designer clothing, or an unlikely stroke of luck in order to model. All you need is a little insider knowledge and a lot of determination. This book will show you how. - Anita De Bauch

This book should be given to every aspiring model who is serious about developing a real career, and every young girl who thinks it sounds like a cool idea! It should certainly be in every secondaryy school library! Ms de Bauch clearly has a brain, and uses it to good effect in her advice and the entertaining clarity of her prose. This is definitely no ghost-written bit of self-publicity by an air-head! Her advice ranges from good nutrition and beauty advice (not in thrall to some high-price cosmetics company), to dealing with scams and incompetent photographers (some of which have agenda other than photography!), how to run your own business and tax affairs, and (VERY importantly) how to stay safe in a world where men can take advantage of feminine naivete, particularly girls under 18. As a parent of a daughter myself, I was impressed with the thorough and sensible way she deals with this and other topics which make a mother's blood run cold, like smoking and drinking, tattoos, surgery, and even working in pornography. Advice ranges from how to apply false eyelashes to visiting the National Gallery to pick up posing ideas, and ends with Anita's ten-minute leaving-the-house makeover. I can't see how any aspect of modelling is not covered here, and of course the whole is illustrated with impressive photographs of the author, who has worked with some top people. I have titled my review the only book a GIRL will ever need, but I imagine that much of the advice given could also apply to MALE models .... My only gripe is that I don't like the type-face - close-spaced sans serif is a bit tiring to read, but it looks modern and approachable, and content-wise you certainlly get your money's worth! Excellent. Highly recommended. This is a fantastic book for anyone considering a career in modeling or if you have a daughter, niece etc who you believe could be the next Kate Moss, Twiggy or Anita De Bauch. The book is an easy and entertaining read, but is also sectioned out logically with specific pieces of advice bullet pointed. This makes it very easy to follow and gives any aspiring model a template for getting their modeling career off the ground whilst avoiding some potentially huge pitfalls. A brilliant book for aspiring or experienced models; fun to read and an essential reference guide.
