Modeling in Toronto - How to Get Started
To get started, you will need a portfolio. This is simply a collection of pictures of yourself, so your potential clients can see how you look on camera.
Ideally, your portfolio will be images taken by a professional photographer. If you can't afford this, you can ask a friend with a good camera. Have some fun taking pictures. The purpose of the portfolio is so you can show off your look and how well you photograph.
Once you have a collection of images, you can start to look for an agent. finding the right one for you can be a challenge. Many agencies will ask you to submit your portfolio online and then, if they like what they see, invite you in for a meeting.
You can also search online for open castings. However, having an agent is better as they will know all the open castings and give you access to industry contacts.

Who Can Become A Model?
Most agencies won't accept anyone on their books who are younger than 16 years old. High fashion models need to be at least 5'9" for women and 6" for men. High fashion clients may have requirements about measurements too.
Don't worry if you don't fit the high fashion requirements; there are plenty of other modeling types. Commercial modeling can be very lucrative, as can modeling for print and catalogs.
Other types of modeling include web, television commercials, live product/brand, live showroom, fitness modeling, tattoo modeling, plus size, and glamour modeling.
Once you have an agent, they can help you decide the type of work you will be most suitable for.
The message is, don't be put off if you think you don't fit the standard age or measurement criteria. There is modeling work for a great diversity of people. You also don't need to have lots of experience to become a model. In the age of social media, it is now easier than ever to get noticed if you take outstanding pictures.

4. Dulcedo
Dulcedo Management represents those special individuals. The ones who have that X factor, that special spark that differentiates “good” from “amazing”. Right from the start, Dulcedo has encouraged out-of-the-box thinking by embracing innovative initiatives.
Always one click away from an opportunity, we used Facebook as our initial mean to hunt for individuals with model potential. Scrolling through friends of friends, we found bright pretty faces with something much more valuable: personalities. In the blink of an eye, we started signing soon-to-be models.
Over time, we transformed into something bigger. We took on makeup extraordinaires, top-pick influencers, major sports figures and many more. We’re basically a big friendly family with highly curated members.
