Best advice for someone entering the industry:

“Best advice I can give someone who’s looking to start a career in modeling would be:

1) Be patient

Not everything come easy you have to work very hard to be where you need to be. Modeling may look easy but in reality its really not. You don’t just wake up and be a model, you have to actually be very prepared and willing to learn the industry. And the only way to do that is to have an agency as great as Max to help you and guide you throughout your journey.

2) ON TIME

Be on time for auditions. In this industry, there is no such thing as
being too early! It either youre on time or youre late and if youre late it doesn’t look good on the agency.

3) When you first start be ready to invest in your career journey for comp card and the network .

4) Last but not least, you will get a lot of NO’s.

Don’t be discouraged! Keep doing your best to improve yourself and perfecting your craft then you will get that one YES that will open up a door for you in this industry. Dont take nothing personal.”
