Answer 1

I am currently working with a 15 year old model who lives in brooklyn i belive. I also know a lot of other models, because i offer free portfolio sites with no strings attached, and it has been very popular. However I can only ask them if they would like to contact you i never give out ther information because I want them to be safe but if you are serious i can ask around. I will also give you the same advise it give everyone else who is thinking of modeling.

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 in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.

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.

Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.

I'm 16 but even I know its not good. Even if John Galliano himself saw you at a mcdonalds and said he wanted you for his new campaign. You havent decided fully what you want to do in life and youre mentality isnt fully grown yet either. You're not ready for the pressures of modeling like staying skinny which you will try to keep by vomiting, tweaking, and fasting or the men trying to sleep with you or you not getting sleep because youre travelling and you'll become vain thinking that the only thing that matters is your looks and those that dont ammount to your beauty isn't worth your time. I'd say wait till youre at least a little older and see if its still something you want to try and if you're sure youre cut out for it.m aybe try out for antm

Modeling isn't as easy as you think and at 16 you are still very young alot of girls get taken advantage of at that age..I know!!!! and alot of girls don't make it and end up on the streets .if you think u r good enough to model get some,head shots done compile a portfolio and start leaving it at agencies that's the best you can do.Don't run away until you know you have a chance to make it.good luck
