Required Reading For Aspiring Models

I purchased Nigel Barker's book today and read through most of it in one sitting. This is an excellent book for models looking for some great insider tips and ideas on how to position themselves as models and gives them good insight into the industry. This is also a great way to attain a deeper understanding of themselves and learn skills that will serve them well regardless of what they ultimately choose as a career.

Nigel has a very personal and easy writing style that makes you feel as though you are sitting there with him. His insights and tips are invaluable and the "teaches" can be an extremely important process for models to work through.

I often tell new models that even if they decide not to pursue modeling, they should take away from the experience a deeper understanding of who they are as people and if they keep that in mind, it will have been a successfull personal journey.

I feel Nigel has conveyed that sentiment in a much more eloquent, practical way and with his years of experience on both sides of the camera, you have a priceless guide to help you get the most out of yourself and your modeling journey.

I am a photographer and would highly recommend this book for not only models and photographers, but anyone involved with the very important job of helping young people (which most of them are) get a good start in the industry with structured guidance.

I purchased two and will buy more and will recommend them to all models I work with.
