If you're teenage daughter or son is looking to start a modeling career one of the things they should do is look at fashion magazines such as Vogue.

Spend time looking at the modeling poses and how the model uses her eyes to communicate.  Although these are adult models, your teenage aspiring model will learn by observation, key ways to work the camera.  I find many young or inexperienced child models or teen models don't know what to do with their body or limbs during their first photoshoot.  By looking at successful models your kids can learn basic posing and inspiration for their first photoshoot. 

Not all kids or teens that start modeling have a natural ability.  I've seen many young girls and guys learn and grow as they get more and more comfortable with the camera.   Half the battle is knowing what to do.    You don't need to go to an expensive modeling school to learn this.  In fact many of the modeling schools are overpriced scams that want you to pay thousands of dollars for classes and hundreds to thousands for headshots and modeling portfolios.  Modeling school is not a necessary step to get a modeling agent for your child.   It doesn't mean you can't learn something at these schools, it's just that you do not have to spend that kind of money to get started as a child or teen model.  Beware of those that ask you to pay thousands of dollars to get your child started as a model or signed up with an agency.  Really all that is needed is to get the photos done and then submit to the agencies.  A good photographer will help guide the talent through the photoshoot, usually giving posing tips if the model is inexperienced.   As with anything the more experience, the better you get.  The same holds true with modeling.
