how did you start in the modeling world? was it difficult, and do you have to be extremely skinny? i'd like to get into some modeling, but i am not sure where to start
Thank you for your questions!
I got into modelling for fun at first, building up my experience doing (free) test shoots and watching older series of ANTM that actually taught you how to model (lol).
After I realised I had a keen interest I started doing modelling competitions (which are usually fixed so I wouldn’t suggest) then I plucked up the courage to go for walk ins to leading agencies in London.
My only success initially getting signed came when I went to NYC on holiday and was scouted there by a mother agent.
Modelling is very difficult especially for a woman of color but it doesn’t mean you don’t try and be confident in your own skin. A couple no’s doesn’t mean there won’t be a million yeses!
And to answer your question, no you don’t have to be extremely skinny. You can have curves, muscles, be toned, be plus sized, be short etc it all depends on the division or type of model you want to be. Do your research and it should help you know which type of model you could be but don’t give up!
Hope this helps!
Don’t forget to reblog my initial post to help others too! :)
