Dana asks:
How often can I submit to an agency and should I be using professional images or snapshots?
This is a great question! You can submit to an agency every three to four months.
All agencies are different, but most agencies are looking for images where they can clearly see your face and your figure.
Make sure that if you send snapshots that they are well lit. The light should always be facing you and not behind you. Wear minimal makeup! In terms of clothing, you should wear a tank top and leggings or jeans.
If you have professional photos, I would let them know you have professional photos that can be seen in a dropbox and send them the link to your online portfolio, so they are available if they want to see them. Good luck!
