/fa/ - Fashion

I model in hair magazines, fashion magazines and boutiques, and print advertisement in Japan. 193cm, Norwegian, I'm fluent in Japanese so it makes getting jobs much easier. I don't have an agent, I'm not a full time whatsoever but I have a photoshoot every 2 weeks or so, sometimes or less.

I also hold two other part time jobs for extra income because I make anywhere from $0-$1.5k a month from the modeling alone. Not a reliable source of income for me.

I've gotten jobs here in a few ways. Networking is important, as is going to beauty/fashion events around the city and just talking to people. Random scouts are somewhat common in places like Shibuya and Roppongi in Tokyo looking for potential gaijin candidates.

Some people submit portfolios to Japanese agencies from abroad, but I suppose you have to be pretty serious about the career/good looking for that to work. I know this only applies to Japan, but I'm sure a lot of other places too. feel free if you have questions.
