Giovanni Malool: At the very beginning of a modeling career, it doesn't much matter where you live as long as there are local/regional stores that hire local models. There are literally a handful of models in every generation who start with huge agencies, but the vast majority of career models started at the local level because agents wouldn't meet with them until they had portfolios showing they were qualified for the work. At least 90% of people with "model looks" simply aren't cut out for the work. They're either not uncommonly photogenic, don't take direction well or can't overcome their self-consciousness when striking poses that range from unnatural to stupid. And an agent's job isn't to provide training, so legitimate agents (not the ones who hawk classes at malls and hotel ballrooms or claim to be "scouts") are looking for experience. If someone begins modeling in local print ads and photographers are impressed with her, she'll be recommended for other jobs a! nd be able to expand her portfolio. That portfolio is essentially a resume she can take to agents as evidence she's not only capable of the work, but also that she's got enough initiative to jump start her own career. That will set her apart from the millions of wannabes.Obviously, places like New York and Los Angeles are hubs (in the US) for models, but your experience travels with you and you'll have an easier time gaining experience in a smaller market where there's less competition. And there are smaller agencies in about every mid-size or major city and the gigantic agencies have satellite offices in different regions of the country (Chicago, Miami or Atlanta, etc.), so you don't have to wing it in NY or LA. Having experience with a smaller agency will enable you to expand your portfolio and make it more impressive before you even approach the intimidating ivory tower agencies....Show more

Valentine Willinger: As Baxterville says ! it's best to start your career locally and build up your book ! then try to get into a larger agency. Most big models don't start out in NY, Milan, etc unless that's where they live. Gisele and Adriana Lima both modelled in Brazil for a few years before they got any international jobs. Freha Beja Erichsen started in a Copenhagen agency, Daria Werbowy and Jessica Stam started in agencies in Canada, Natalia Vodianova started in an agency in a small town in Russia. So start locally - you will have many more chances to get booked on jobs. Then after a year or two once you have a strong portfolio, start looking for representation in larger cities...Show more
Jodie Capella: there are maximum of misunderstandings approximately modeling. as quickly as you're 14 or 15, you're seen an grownup in modeling words. maximum fashions are got here across while they're between 15 and 17 (actuality), and maximum are completed by capacity of 25. First, growing to be to be a form is extremely, rather straight forward. no longer something like "America! s next suitable form." No portfolios, no classes, no particular expertise. All you're able to do is be 5' 9" or taller, and have a 34-25-34 build, long legs, and a rather fairly face. females like that are so, so very uncommon (what proportion have you ever met?) that they are quickly got here across and modeling jobs are surpassed to them without attempt. reality. while you're unlike that, there is not any desire of being a consultant form. you may play around at it as a pastime, occassionaly doing "glamour" modelng, or "well-being modeling," or "petite" modeling, yet those at the instant are not finished time expert jobs, no matter what all and sundry tries to tell you. Ask any real, finished-time working form, and that they'll inform you an identical factor. forget approximately approximately people who're "going to college to be a form." those "colleges" basically take great thing approximately females with objectives, and take their funds. Modeling careers are too shor! t to waste a time in "modeling college." NO finished time expert workin! g form ever had to flow to college for it. Its a waste of time. You dn't might desire to learn make up or vogue; human beings are paid to try this fro you. No form does her own make up! you do no longer pick your outfits! And in case you particularly need to learn a thank you to stroll, nicely, it won't take better than 20 minutes to learn, in the different case you're hopeless. this is a large pastime in case you may get it. all and sundry who sys in any different case is basically offended because of the fact they couldn;t do it. you additionally could make adequate earnings 5 or 10 years to pay for in spite of else you want to do with your existence afterwards- flow to varsity, initiate a company, marry a rich guy, in spite of....Show more
