Model Recruiting in Brazil
06-19-2012, 01:02 PM
This thread is in between "Travel" and "lifestyle". Who knows of modeling or talent recruting websites in Brazil? Like ModelMayhem but with more than 30 Brazilian models. I would prefer free sites, where you don't have to pay but you can register as a publisher. I'm looking for efficient ways to recruit "the girl next door" talent to be discovered.
Do you think street approaches will be better for recruiting in Brazil instead of the internet? or is there a better medium (newspaper)?
Street approaches rarely work in the US to recruit models unless you carry a portfolio book with you, so let me know if you can provide some advise by living in Brazil or having done something similar there.
Those who provide the best advice will be rewarded with photos the soonest.

You may also try going to a modeling agency book a few models and create your own portfolio to start with. Good idea though.

I can't speak for Brazil, but I can speak for the US. Girls who want to model = girls looking for cash. Think about it from that perspective. I'd stick to the internet, for every hour of work you put in, girls are going to be putting in 10x that sending you pics.

Cool, I'm down. Send me a PM and we can talk.
Turns out I know the OP Freedom, he's a wing of mine haha. He works with me on the magazine. All 3 three of us can plan this out.

It's not unsafe. No ones going to walk up to you in the daytime at Copacobana and steal your iPad. At night time maybe.

Hit me up on PM. I've started to do this and found recruiting on facebook working ok. The direction I'm taking is to develop an alternative beauty magazine. So far, 120+ girls have expressed interest, and some applications for having pro shots done. Working with a few other people, I'm confident we could get a lot more results even faster.
