Male modeling information

<p>Hello,
My friend is a very attractive fit guy. He has a model’s face and body. He’s 23 years old and he lives in lebanon. he wants to start a modeling career, but there isn’t much of a chance in the Middle East for that. He doesn’t know much about the process of making a portfolio. If anyone can help me with any information that can help him it would be great.
Also, since he lives in lebanon he wont be able to attend cast callings for agents to see him personally. Will that affect him negatively? And will agencies send him a visa to the states after they accept working with him?
After he finishes making the portfolio, he next needs to go for agencies to work with. What are the best agencies for foreign male models that they can easily work with?
Any information or links concerning this matter would be a great help.
Thanks</p>
