Bí i do mhúnla

Every day I receive requests on how to becoming a Mionsamhail. Things like how to get started, finding and contacting a Mionsamhailing agency, and getting a first photo shoot.

Conas tosú:

Sula dtosaíonn tú ag déanamh aon rud, ba chóir duit na ceisteanna seo a chur ort féin mar go dtreoróidh tú tú tríd an bpróiseas.

• What do I want to get out of Mionsamhailing?
• What am I willing to put into becoming a Mionsamhail
• What kind of Mionsamhail do I want to be? Fashion, Runway, swimsuit, sport,etc.
• Cé chomh solúbtha agus atá mé le taisteal agus am a shábháil?

Once you evaluate these questions, There is two ways you can go. One is to contact a Mionsamhailing agency which I will explain below. The other method is to act like your own agency and create your own portfolio. This is easily done over the internet, now with several places in which you can post pictures, and information on yourself to attract talent scouts.

If you choose to go the traditional route and to work with a Mionsamhailing agency, It can be hard at times to know first of all how to find a good one, and what to look for in a Mionsamhailing agency. You can easily look up and find agencies in phone books or online,etc. Before you do any of that, I would recommend contacting anyone you know, that is a Mionsamhail, and finding out about some of the experiences that they have had with Mionsamhailing and general, and also specifically with different agencies in your area. Once you have a general idea of what the scene looks like, contact some of the agencies and set up an appointment to meet with them. Meeting with the agency can be the hardest and most nerve wrecking part of the whole experience. Be firm, and don’t allow the agency to take advantage of you!

Is iad na rudaí a n-iarrfar orthu agus a lorgóidh tú:

• What do they do for other Mionsamhails?
• Cad is féidir leo a dhéanamh duit?
• An féidir leo freastal ar do chuid riachtanas mar shampla?
• An bhfuil spriocanna ag an ngníomhaireacht atá cosúil leo siúd atá agat duit féin?

Braitheann an cheist dheireanach “Conas an chéad ghrianghraf a dhéanamh” ar an mbealach a ghlacann tú. Má fhágann tú le gníomhaireacht, beidh ort socrú a dhéanamh léi, grianghraf a ghlacadh agus tús a chur le do sparán a thógáil. Má shocraíonn tú dul i d'aonar, beidh ort do sparán féin a chruthú. Bain úsáid as na grianghraif atá agat cheana féin, nó trí theagmháil a dhéanamh le grianghrafadóir chun pictiúr a thógáil. Molaim grianghrafadóir a fhostú toisc go bhfuil sé níos gairmiúla agus go bhfuil a cháilíocht i bhfad níos fearr ná grianghraf simplí teaghlaigh nó cairde, etc.
