Tips for Models

Here are some quick tips for models:

  • Professional Images: When you upload your image to our site, make sure the images are professionally shot images. Do not upload any web cam shots, mirror shots, and personal snapshots.
  • No Nudity: W6 wants to only book you for professional work, so please do not post any inappropriate images. Images deemed inappropriate will be removed. This means no nudity. If you continue to abuse the site, your profile may be removed.
  • Up Date Images Regularly: Make sure to keep your images up to date. Creative agencies book you based on what you look like on the photos you have posted. If the creative agency wanted someone with long hair and you show up with short hair, this could potentially cost you work.
  • Be on Time: If you have to be there at 9 am and you show up at 9 am you are late. 8:45 am is on time and 8:30 is early. Make sure to confirm location, cell phone numbers and shoot time and make up time for your gig.
  • Networking: When you show up for a job, make sure to bring business cards to share with the creative agency, photographer and the client. If you make an impression they may remember you for their next project.
  • Final Photos: Also make sure to grab a business card from the creative agency running the project. Ask them to send you a final from the shot to add to your portfolio.
  • Jump Drive: You may also want to bring a jump drive to each shoot. You should politely ask the photographer or creative director in charge to share the raw images with you. These could again make for great new additions to your portfolio.
