The first step to enter modeling industry is to have a professional portfolio done.Now before its lets discuss what is Portfolio It's a collection of your modelling pictures. How many pictures you need varies. You should only keep strong pictures, you are only as good as your worst picture! Models should aim for quality not quantity! Avoid using 2 pictures of the same shoot (same look) Black and White is the favourite of the industry. 9 by 12 inches are the standard size. Your agency will require you to buy an 11 by 14 inches for their book (portfolio). A basic but versatile portfolio would have a casual head shot, styled head shot, body shot (conservative swimsuit or lingerie), action shot, an editorial shot and even a catalogue shot. As you gain experience replace the older pictures with newer one. Keep your best picture at the end to leave a lasting impression! Do not wear jewellery for those prints, it takes the attention away from you. The wrong choice of undergarments may show panty line or bra straps and will distract the viewer (on the job, or in interviews it can mean the difference between looking professional or not).
Portfolio is shot in one day only but the whole process can take upto 20 days. For aspiring models, agencies provide them grooming sessions in which they teach them how to pose, expressions and body movement for their still portfolio. Once the aspiring model is ready, the photoshoot is organized with full preperation. makeupman and hairstylist ,fashion stylist (for costumes) etc. are hired and the photosession is planned.
Once the shoot is done, the best graphic designers work on your pictures to enhance the quality and remove any errors. It takes minimum of 12 days to provide the final output. But the results are really awesome !
Now if i say about charges of portfolio then its depend on agency or photographer.Charges vary from place to place .
Now lets discuss how to measure yourself that you are fitt for modeling.Let me clear one thing ESPECIALY FOR MALE MODELS that its not that for modeling only macho man or heavy muscular man required but a man with fitt body is be perfect.

The best measurements for modelling are 5'9" , 34b bust, 24" waist, 34" hips. If you are within one inch of these measurements you are fit to model almost anything. High Fashion models are typically 5'7" to 6' tall and an extremely thin size 7 with 32-35" bust, 22-25" waist and 33-36" hips. They are not necessarily classically beautiful. PETITE measurements would be 5'5" to 5'8" tall and a size 5 to 7. The model MUST have a well proportioned body. PLUS SIZE models are 5'7" to 5'11" tall and wear a size 12 to 14, have a well toned and proportioned body with a thin face, good skin and beautiful hair. Always provide very accurate measurements to the agency and to customers. (Helps to save embarrassment if you get hired for a job and the clothes don't fit because you were not honest). For a man, heights should be 5'11" to 6'2" and you must fit in a 40-42" jacket.
