If you are looking at booking young models, here are a few things that you should look for, and some ways that you may be able to locate suitable candidates for your photo shoots and runway work.

Remember that even if young models seem to meet all of your criteria it is always a good decision to have a pool of individuals to choose from on the off chance that your first pick is not available or if they do not work out for some reason. 

By choosing the right young models for your work you can be confident of getting good pictures. Modeling requires certain skills such as knowing how to walk properly, how to position the body properly for the camera, and how to convey a story when they are being photographed. Young models can often do these things quite well but you may find that you need to be more careful about which ones you pick when you are hiring. 

One of the things that you want to look for when booking young models is experience. In some young models this may not be extensive since they may be quite young but any experience can help them build their skills and make them easier to work with. Young models who have a lot of experience also show that they are serious about treating this as a job and not as a hobby and this can cause them to have a more professional approach than someone who is just doing it part of the time or who does not want to focus on a job fully and completely.

You want to look for young models which can show that they are versatile. Modeling portfolios and image collections are a great way to judge their versatility. Looking for young models that have a range of looks and images available can also help you ensure you are finding modeling candidates who can provide you with the versatility you need. 

You should also look for young models which live near where the work will be performed. Young models may not be able to travel longer distances for several reasons. They may not have proper travel documents, and school or other commitments may make prolonged travel impossible. This is especially true for smaller jobs such as local fashion shows that may not pay a lot of money and which may not take a long time to complete.

Being able to look for specific qualities and modeling experience will be easier if you have a wide database of potential young models to choose from. Look for websites that showcase young models and their photographs along with information about their specific experience, what areas of modeling they prefer to work in (such as sports, fashion, runway, or photography) and where they are located.

You want to make sure that you are dealing with a website that is devoted to modeling. Look for young models who have well-written bios that have been completed by their agent or a member of their family. There are many other social networking sites that people may put images on in hopes that they will find modeling work, but by choosing modeling specific websites you can weed out many people that do not have the training or experience that you are looking for.
