The most important feature of a sedcard is the front, where you can see at a glance the memorability and versatility of a model. The sedcard should always be created by a professional photographer instead of filling it with selfies and everyday photos. You can use a self-portrait with eye contact as a lead.
It is best to integrate photos from the different modeling areas. Above all a full body photo is indispensable for a sedcard. Also a lingerie picture and a few pictures in different poses or styles would be an advantage. The backside should list all important measurements. This includes body and clothing sizes, numbers for chest, waist and hips, shoe size and age.
Information about bust size, hair color, eye color and contact information for your agency should also be included. But please make sure to update this information frequently so that the numbers are correct for a potential shooting!
In addition, you should include space for a link to your current online sedcard. If you want to be super up to date, you can also create a QR code. For the printed version DIN A5 is the common format. Differences between men and womenThe requirements for men and women are usually different. The female sex must meet strict rules and prerequisites. For men, the requirements can often be found on the respective agency's website.
That's where they state minimum dimensions. In general, however, a slim and fit body without too much muscle mass is the deciding factor for male models. This of course isn't the case when an agency is looking for a fitness model. For shootings, men should provide differentiated measurements. Although these often don't appear on the sedcard, it is better to be prepared.
Especially for fitting jobs, the following measurements are important: neck circumference and arm length, chest and under chest circumference, waist and hip circumference, as well as the inner leg length. The modeling industry has always had to deal with a lot of criticism because of what are considered unrealistic goals.
For this reason there is a constant movement away from the "" measures and towards naturalness and normality. This is especially evident in various commercials with curvy and plus size models. It has also been argued that charisma should also be more important with children and teenage models and that the certain something is not enhanced by the perfect measurements.
A model has to be able to show her own personality and charisma through her poses and facial expressions - with or without perfect measurements. There is also constant experimentation with different skin tones and colors, as light skin types have been preferred in recent years. Recently, world-class singer Rihanna was the first to introduce a male plus size model in her Savage x Fenty collection, once again proving her forward-thinking and modern approach.
In the model board you will directly see which types of models the agency represents and which measurements they have. Once you have found the perfect agency for yourself you just need one more thing: perfect pictures. Model scouts and agencies are very well trained in their job. Their eye is very sharp and they only need some natural snaps from you.
Polaroids are easy to take. No posing, no styling, no extras. What you can make of a model with stylists and make up artists, the agency knows.
It is more important to them to get a natural impression of you when you apply. Polaroids are not only important for your application. These snaps will accompany you throughout your entire career.

Professional models usually take some snaps for the next job in their hotel room or even short clips for e-castings after a job or in breaks. Polaroids are clean pictures of your face and body showing different angles and facets, to give the agency an impression of you. You can take them yourself or with the help of a friend or your family. Polaroids should be taken in front of a clean background with daylight, so that nothing can distract you.
Try not to have any shade. This works very well if it is a bit overcast. No make up, simple clothes, tight like skinny jeans or leggings, and a clean top or t-shirt. Women should also wear high heels. My thights are 20 inches around the tickest part. Is it to much? You should not get too caught up in measurements, but models are usually very tall and thin.
