Model Requirements

Various models approach me to request a TFP shoot. I happily honor those requests if my schedule permits it. Applicants should keep the following set of criteria in mind for a favorable response from me and my crew:

Height: 5′8″ – 5′11″
Weight: 110 – 120 lbs.
Size: 2-4
Age: 18 – 24

All ethnicities welcome.

I also have preferences (though not absolute) for the following:

1. Long, feminine, healthy hair;
2. Full lips;
3. Flawless skin;
4. Thin, toned bodies;
5. Well-groomed eyebrows;
6. Good cheekbones;
7. Subtle, symmetrical features;
8. Clean, manicured hands;
9. Graceful poses; and
10. Diverse, compelling expressions.

In other words, if the model looks like a Victoria’s Secret angel, I want to shoot with them!

There are always exceptions to the rule.

Let’s face it, not all of us can reach that glorious Glamazion Giselle Bündchen height. If a model has an incredible face, then the height/age/weight requirements do not matter. Some things, on the other hand, are non-negotiable, such as clear skin, a healthy body, and a positive attitude.

I prefer models from top agencies, so the height requirement listed above generally weeds out the competition. When a model contacts me, she should have current or prior agency experience. Keep in mind, these basic guidelines apply to beauty and fashion models—my primary focus at this time.

Think you’ve got what it takes?

Click here to apply for one of my castings. Please send two photos:

1) Clean headshot with minimal makeup.
2) Full-length or ¾ body shot.

Alternately, a link to an online portfolio will help my team evaluate a future opportunity to work together. I receive hundreds of emails, and I try my hardest to respond to each submission. Thanks, and good luck!

    I’d like to emphasize that clear skin is a MUST.
