How to become a model in Africa
- Build a simple portfolio: 5 to 10 natural photos (headshot, full length, profile) in good light.
- Real modeling agencies in Africa never charge a registration fee to represent you. Be careful with paid "castings".
- Go to open castings, fashion weeks and runway shows in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, Johannesburg, Dakar, Kinshasa, Abidjan, Casablanca, and keep your measurements up to date.
- Use your contest entry as a showcase: agencies, brands and photographers look at the most-voted faces.
