Short, powerful bio is what you need to present yourself in a professional manner. Today I want to share with you a few tips on how to write your own bio, which you can use on your social media and model resume.
A good bio should communicate who you are, what you do and most importantly how you can help others. This is a key part of a well written bio, because it moves the focus from you to the person who reads it.
Let’s look at the bio structure, it should consist of the following:
WHO: your name, your profession and passion
WHAT: your experience in that profession to date (e.g. genres, publications)
HOW: who you work with
WHERE: locations
WHY: what makes you unique, what is your characteristic, what is your working style
Call to action: it is a important to include a call to action to encourage a contact with you.
Below I provide you with an easy to fill in template, so you can create your short bio in just a few minutes!
Fill in the example:
I am …………….. (name/surname) ,……………… (photo/fashion) model, with a passion for ………………. (your passion related to modelling). I model mainly ………………… (2-3 genres) but enjoyed occasional …………….. (2 other genres). To date I worked with ………………. (agency/photographer/publication), I did ………………… (ad, campaign, video etc.) and had some photos published in ……………… (2-3 publication names, advertisements or campaigns). I am available for photoshoots in ………………… (country/city/continents) and can travel to other locations.
I am …………………… (something that describes your look) and I am/have ……………………… (something that describes your personality).
So, it should look like this:
‘I am Joan Smith and for the last 6 years, I worked as a photo model. I have a huge passion for acting and I love being in front of the camera. I mainly shoot fashion, swimwear and lingerie but I also enjoy creative projects like bodypaint or dress up. I am currently modelling for XYZ Model Agency and individual photographers. My photos were published in ABC and CBA magazines and I was part of LALALA campaign. I am available for photoshoots in California, but available to travel to other destinations in the US.
I am tall (5’11’), long hair natural brunette with tanned skin, which makes me a good model for swimwear and lingerie photos. I enjoy working with photographers and agencies that have a creative approach. I bring my energy and passion for modelling to every project I work on.
