IF YOU ARE IN THE MODELING WORLD?

I'm not completely clueless about this industry, but tips and advice would CERTAINLY help.


Now for my question. I am 14 years of age, I am 5'9, but I am not skin and bones. I DO NOT mean that I am fat. I am just about as skinny as I can possibly be, but I am "big boned". In other words, I have wide hips..and a LITTLE bit of a braoder structure. My stomach is completely flat, and my arms and legs are toned. But I'm still not a stick. Is that going to be a problem?





HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I AM NOT:http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?medi... something in that genre.

IF YOU ARE IN THE MODELING WORLD?
Here is a healthy suggestion: dont worry about it;


eat healthy and stop trying to compare yourself to super models. Your dreams of grandeur are going to get smashed against the rocks sooner or later.
Reply:There is room for all types of models. If you want to be a mainstream model then they will expect you to be a bag of bones. If you want to be an oversize model, then being "big" (big compared to these skeletons on the catwalks) is part of your job.
Reply:mmm... ive been trying 2 become a model... but i sort of gave up... cause... ya... didnt want 2 after all... but size wont matter... my partner 4 my magazine was big boned... and she got really good shots of her... so... =] good luck
Reply:skinny,skinny models are made for runway, you could do print work, get an agent, a nice portfolio, at least 3 head/3-3/4 body/3-full body shots of your self, and don't forget the black%26amp;white head shot, and do smile in it.


Do a set of glamor,one set of fun/sporty/ and one of casual/business.


Many agency's are looking for real girls, you seem to fit the bill. Don't let anyone discourage you. A nice place to start is in commercials, not sure where you are from, but google..Casting calls for your area, and there should be some work in your area. If not call, and ask if they will do e-mail interviews, for photos...Becareful, it's a strang business, and could be a bad one.


Good Luck ...
Reply:Don't really worry about it (the weight). If you are good at what you do and you have the right attitude, then you will have no trouble in whatever you want to do in life.





Just eat healthy, get lots of sleep and work out regularly and you will be fine!
Reply:The woman in the first picture is clearly anorexic. She looks incredibly unhealthy and its also very unattractive to be that thin. If thats what it would take for you to get into the modeling world it wouldn't be worth sacrificing your health.





Second model was pretty attractive though (too skinny to be my ideal idea of what a women should look like though). You can tell she probably diets and does cardiovascular and possibly light weight training as well. I'd say that about 60-80% of the women out there would look incredibly sexy using that kind of workout regimen.
Reply:tbh, you need to get skinnier. Get some professional quality photos and a business card and go to shows and hand them out to who's running the show. If they think you're good, they'll help you out. That's how I did it.





*I forgot one thing. You need to have a perfect walk. So work on it :]





Good luck.
