If you leave the site on, the picture in the middle will transition.It's also the agency I'm going to be looking into.

Also, this is how I look, sorry, it's professional but just a picture from my school ID, I just wanted your opinions on "my look" & how I can improve for when I do take my headshots. Also, would it be possible for any of you to "retouch" this picture? Or should I just wait to get mine done later?

Are you looking to be an actor or a model? The photos I see on that site are all modeling photos or portraits, not actor headshots. So no, I wouldn't go there for headshots.

You have a really great look! How old are you? I can definitely see you modeling and doing catalog stuff.

I'm looking to be an actor, I have spoken w/the agency and asked them if I have to pay for anything, they said no, just for headshots. So I'm guessing maybe they will provide me a photographer.

Thank you very much!You have no idea how much more confident that has made me, haha. I'm 15 years old, turning 16 in a couple weeks. I have also changed drastically on my body appearance after a 6 month workout program, I gained 26 lbs . I'm actually trying to gain another 10,Here is another "non-professional btw"

I just hope I grow, I'm only 5'5

You are a very good looking young man. Be careful about agencies. If they tell you you must use their photographer, then you should get away from them fast. If they provide you with a list of photographers whose work they like, that's acceptable.

You can look up these agencies yourself and see if they are legit or scams. Do your homework. If after meeting them you still don't know if they are the real deal, come back to this board and let us know what they offered you. Those who have been around a while can smell a scam ten miles away. Just be sure to listen to the advice you are given. It will pay off in the long run.

You're only fifteen, so you've got plenty of time. No need to rush into it.

Look around craiglist (carefully of course). A lot of beginning photographers post on there looking for models for TFP (Test for Portfolio) shoots when they're just beginning to build their books. (I did.)

You might be able to find one willing to shoot you for free, and who knows...you might luck upon some decent shots to get you started.

... and don't pay anything to an agency. They get you work, and you pay them a commission, that's it.

Good luck.
