Join an agency first.

Elite, Ford, IMG are all national agencies, and reputable.

You need a comp card. Get it professionally done and look at agencies. Don’t get caught up in pay a bunch of money scams. Go to a good photographer. Your comp card is your resume or business card even. Remember the industry is hard work do be ready to work.

My husband is a photographer and he has done tons of portfolios specially for european models. He does this as a part time job, since he is a webdesigner full time, so he charges less then model agencies. He charges for a standart portfolio, which includes touch ups in the pictures (such as making you thinner, better skin etc) $800.

The best thing to do is get a series of photos, that you can then use is to create a portfolio, that you present to modeling agencies, TV jobs, catalog work, ad work, modeling & clothes lines. How much it costs will be answered by the photographer you hire.
