Model Bag: What You'll Need

A model bag should be something that every model is prepared with and takes to each and every job.

This bag contains everything needed when you are working, and helps you be prepared for everything.

All the items in model bag are useful to a model at some time or another. These items should be kept complete and ready to go, in a bag or tote, (then when you get a call from your modeling agency, you will be prepared).

You will be able to better represent your modeling agency by being prepared for the jobs that your modeling agency will book for you, and it will also give you an extra level of professionalism.
