Now if you happen to look younger than your numerical age that will be your secret weapon. Agencies love it when models look younger than they are.
On the flip side, older looking male models are highly sought after. So the good news for you fellas is that as long as you take care of yourself and you age gracefully, your modeling career, regardless of what type of modeling you do, will be secure.
Labels: Model Matters. Don't forget that ethnic and foreign-looking models, especially when they are female, are also sought after because ethnic and foreign-looking people have a tendency to age slower than White North American-looking people.

I'm very interested in high fashion and runway modeling. Alot of people have told me I should model since a very young age because of my look and especially my height.
I never really pursued it because despite what people said I was insecure about being so tall, especially in high school. Now I love my height and am ready to pursue modeling, the only problem is I'm now I still think I look young, and I feel like my height and weight requirements are okay. I'm just worried about my age! Please if you could give me some helpful advice, and if my age isn't an issue could you recommend some agencies that would be a good match for me?

I am constantly told that I look to be about 17 years old due to my biracial ethnicity. I've always wanted to be a model, but have only just recently grown more comfortable in my skin. I am approximately lbs. I would just like to know that, once all the weight is lost, would it still be possible for someone like me to become a professional model? December 19, at AM. Hi, Yakkilyn!

Hi, Tiny! Dania, First off, great blog. My name is Ashley. I'm 21, five foot ten and within the standard parameters of a model. I have been told that I look like I am Recently I sent some photos to a reputable agency and received a call back for an "interview".
My concern is, do you think I would still be able to do runway at my age? It makes me nervous because I know runway is very competitive for african-american females. January 30, at PM. Hi, Ashley! I am so glad I found your blog!
Thank you for all of the helpful information. I have always wanted to be a model, and did a very small amount of it when I was After I graduated High School I had thought about getting more involved with the industry but was told I was being "unrealistic" and became a chef instead.
I have found over the last few years, that I am not happy in my current career, and would like to finally pursue my dream. I am 24 yrs old, 5' 7" and weigh lbs. I just don't know the proper way to get started. I live in Indiana so there aren't any high end agencies near by, and have been out of touch with modeling for so long that I am not sure the best and most efficient way to get started.
Thank you for your help! February 17, at PM. Hi, Jenna! Hi I am 34 year old asian male, well skinny, I have been told I don't look older than 26 years old.

I am very into fashion, love taking pictures and am very photogenic How can i go about doing something in the industry? April 10, at PM. Hi, beatrizg! April 14, at AM. Nika said…. But like any job, if you let stress get to you, then any hard worker would fall wayward. Shoots vary from anything before sunrise to way after sunset. Even when a shoot is a straightforward eight hour day, the travel, networking, social media upkeep and admin side of emails continues into their free time.
There is a lot of standing around in the cold stroking the egos of some horrible and some much nicer people, whilst dragging heavy equipment to difficult locations in not too comfortable clothing. Your skin is regularly caked in thick makeup and your hair is often back combed and bleached without care — as long as it looks good for that day on set, the long term effects are regularly ignored.
Pervy comments and snidey remarks are sadly almost part of the job description. It seems using your body for work puts models in the same bracket as prostitutes to some, a disappointing and extremely old fashioned opinion of the general public. Touching models without asking is also a controversial topic, with many in the fashion industry considering it their right to grope clotheshorses when dressing. Bending your bones into bizarre contortions and holding them for more than a few minutes, takes its toll on your muscles the next day, no matter how much you warm up before.
Cold locations where shoots are often nine hours long, especially cripple the bones! This is the first part of a two-part story. Stay tuned for more true confessions of being a model.
