In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you can start booking jobs or looking for a modeling agency to represent you, you must create a portfolio of photos. Usually, a model’s portfolio contains pictures of past work, but when you’re just starting out, you likely won’t have any professional shots. If you have the money to pay a professional photographer to take photos, that’s usually the best option. However, you can also have a friend or family member take some shots for you -- just make sure to use a good quality camera and have sufficient lighting.  Your portfolio should include some headshots, with your face shot from a variety of angles, as well as some full-length photos in fitted clothing. You should have a mix of smiling and straight face shots to provide a range of looks. In some shots, it’s also a good idea to go for a natural look with no makeup so booking agents will have an idea what you look like when you’re not all made up. There should also be a page in your portfolio with your stats. Include hair color, eye color, height, weight, and other measurements. ” If you live in a big city, such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, or San Francisco, it’s best to call major modeling agencies and see if they’re holding an “open call,” which is an event where they invite potential models in for a consultation. That’s because you get to meet casting agents in person, so you can make an impression with your personality in addition to your looks. If you don’t live in a major city, contact agencies in the closest city and see if they work with any smaller agencies in your area.  Make sure to do research on the agencies that you contact to ensure that they’re reputable. You’ll need to bring your portfolio to your open call. If you haven’t put together a portfolio yet, make sure to have at least a few photos that you can bring to show your range. You don’t necessarily have to wait for an open call to contact modeling agencies. Instead, you can send your portfolio and let the photos do the talking for you. Visit the websites of the agencies that you’re interested in, and see what their procedure is for submitting a portfolio. Some will allow you to do it online, while others will ask that you mail a hard copy. If you’re mailing a copy of your portfolio, don’t forget to include your contact information, so the agency can get in touch with you if they’re interested.
Summary: Build a portfolio. Find an “open call. Submit your portfolio.

A large rock is another privacy option. These are things you definitely want to avoid when choosing a bathroom spot.
