Modeling is hard work and does not come easy. It is difficult to become a successful model. However, determination and hard work can help a model become successful. Here are some tips that will help any aspiring model break into the industry:

Good photos- less is more. A few good photos are much better than a bunch of “ok” photos filling your portfolio.

Only strong models survive- having a good attitude about the business is what will make a model successful. It is important to be prepared for critique and learn from those critiques, but do not let the critiques get you down and damage your spirit.

Sell Yourself- you should market yourself. It would help to have a portfolio that is comprised of photos that best represent your personality and who you are. By marketing yourself, casting directors can better understand who you are and hopefully they will in-turn book you for a modeling job.

Working with photographers- don’t just work for anyone, shoot with photographers who are credible and knowledgeable. If they are offering their services for free, they most likely do not hold themselves to the same professional standards that you hold yourself to as well. Working on a TFP basis is a great way to build a portfolio, but remember that the photographer will forever hold the rights to those images.

Do your homework- research agencies to make sure you are being represented by a company that shares the same goals as you and does not just get you bookings, but wants you to be the best model you can be. Any agency charging you upfront fees to be a part of their agency is not legitimate and is only looking to profit from your initial investment and not booking you on any gigs.

Prepare- practice many different types of facial impressions in front of the mirror. Try to practice as many different poses and facial expressions as possible. By doing so, you are able get a feel for what poses and angles work best for you. Have a friend photograph you and find out how to look your best in front of the camera. Dance classes are also a great way to become more confident and in control of your body movements.

Upkeep- it is important that models keep up their physical appearance, after all modeling is all about physical appearance. It is important for models to exercise regularly and take care of their hair and skin. By keeping up your physical appearance, you make yourself more desirable to both agencies and casting agents. A healthy diet and drinking plenty of water along with a workout routine will ensure that you are always looking your best.

A wedding conglomerate, VOWS,  in Denver, CO had a launch party last Wednesday evening and some of the Premier Image Models were invited to enjoy the festivities.

Photographers Andrew and Jessica captured some great images during the event and below are some of our favorites.

Jenny P. of Premier Image Models looks stunning in a beautiful wedding gown provided by the Little White Dress Bridal Shop.

Ali C. was in full bloom donning her wedding outfit from Little White Dress Bridal Shop.

Audrey P. is holding a flower bouquet from Sweet Pea Flowers and also wearing another stunning bridal dress from the Little White Dress Bridal shop.

Boubacar D. and Ross C. were provided tuxes from Al’s Formal Wear of Cherry Creek.

Janine Schmenk with Makeup by Janine did a fabulous job with all of the models makeup and Bre Osa with Salon Bre did a fantastic job with all of the models hair.

A big thanks to VOWS and all that were involved!

On November 20 & 21, 2009 Dan Aykroyd was in Denver, CO to promote his new ultra premium vodka line labeled Crystal Head Vodka. The Premier Image models were called upon to assist in the event and helped Dan look his best! Jenny P. and Lindsay V. were the two models selected to put their best foot, whoops sorry, head forward.

The event took place at Argonaut Liquors, the Oak Tavern and Applejack Liquors all of which are located in and around Denver, CO. The event was highly promoted and drew a crowd of thousands throughout the duration. Jenny P. and Lindsay V. did a great job in not only representing Crystal Head Vodka but also shined bright for Premier Image Agency!

Crystal Head Vodka is uniquely distilled and it also has a unique story of why and what the branding is all about.

Thousands of years ago, thirteen crystal heads were scattered across the earth - and they are greater and more powerful than anything we have the ability to manufacture today. Their workmanship is perfect: they contain no tool marks and have been cut against the natural axis of the crystal, defying the laws of physics. Some say they are artifacts from the lost civilization of Atlantis, some say they date back to the Mayans, still others say they were created by a higher intelligence.

Brought together, the Crystal Heads are said to contain vast knowledge and enlightenment capable of unlocking our most enigmatic ancient mysteries. Alone, each is believed to house radiant psychic energy, which has magical powers and healing properties.

PIA Models Cynthia, Jessica and Marc were featured in the fashion editorial in this months edition of Denver Magazine. The shoot was titled ‘Midnight Masquerade’ and was shoot at the historic Daniel and Fischer tower on 16th Street.  The photos were shot by Colorados own, Don Cudney and the amazing backdrop is actually inside, way atop the clock tower. Amazing visuals, thank you Denver Magazine for putting it all together!
