Incredible Book!

A must have for anyone who is wanting to become a model. This book offers insight information that is both vital and informative. The authors, Eric Bean and Jenni Bidner illustrate this book with fantastic photographs and beautifully written compositions of what should be expected by models and what is expected of them. I absolutely love this book and recommend that anyone who is even faintly interested in the subject manner should read this book. It is truely a fascinating read.

I Loved the interview with Supermodel, Carmen Dell'Orefice.

It was really informative hearing from a model who has modeled for 50+ years. I recently saw Carmen Dell'Orefice in a runway show in NYC, and she looks great. Great interview, great photos.

I learned alot from this book

I live in a small town in California, and i want to be a model. I always dreamed of going to NYC and being a runway model. I asked a few of the agencies in nearby towns, but they didnt know much about NYC. I got this book, and it answered alot of questions i had about modeling. The modeling schools near me charged alot of money, to take classes, but i learned just as much from this book. I can't wait to go to NYC now.

As a parent of a model, I liked this book...

My daughter is a beginning model, and we bought this book, hoping to get some questions answered. In the "modeling biz" people don't like to give straight answers, especially if it might hurt your feelings. My daughter and i got alot of honest advice from this book. We saved alot of money with the suggestions, that came directly from casting agents, and model bookers. The high fashion photographs are fun also, we loved the before and afters on a photo shoot.

Great book for any model, beginning or pro....

I loved this book because it gave me specific advice about all the different types of models, and the specific requirements for each specialty. It had interesting and informative stories, directly from supermodels, agents, and magazine editors. It also had beautiful color photographs illustrating poses, and "behind the scenes" of photoshoots. I would reccomend it to any beginning model, the parent of a model, or a model looking to come to NYC.
