Answer 1

Models come in all shapes and sizes, as long as you have the right attitude and don't expect over night success you will be fine. Hers some advise if you seriously are thinking about it.

I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau.

NEVER GO ON YOUR OWN ALWAYS TAKE YOUR PARENTS!!!! BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU SIGN!!!

I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.

However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.


Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.


PARENTS PERMISSION REQUIRED!!!!

Answer 2

It depends. What size do you wear? If you're wanting to be a Vogue model, unfortunately, 130 pounds is too heavy if you were 5'10" tall. However, it isn't really the weight that will hold you back, because Plus Size models are growing in popularity now, it is your height.
Don't give up though... you have other chances to model other things. If you have exceptionally beautiful eyes, hands or feet... each of those things can afford you a lucrative career in the fashion industry. John Kenyon eye center in Jeffersonville, IN, had a Beautiful Eyes fashion contest last year in search of an EYE Model. So, look at all of your options. It's crazy that fashion couture wants 5'9" and taller... I've seen many less than 5'6" that are more beautiful...
Good luck and follow your dreams, just get creative in how you do it.!

Answer 3

listen, you can be any weight, and your a litttle young to be a pro model. 5'3 is too short and and normal 14 year old wieghs about 110-115.

Answer 4

No modeling agency would be interested in anyone under 5'9" and you must be very very thin. Be careful, there are lots of agencies that will try to cheat you.

Answer 5

I would be more concerned with your height, not weight. Most models are 5'9" and up. Your best bet would be to look into catelog modeling.

Answer 6

you are beautiful, no matter what anyone says, but modeling can be very emotional, and i dont suggest it!
