Do I look like model material?

Question

Hi I'm 17 years old and I'm thinking about pursuing a career in modeling. I would like to get recognized at a modeling agency open call but I'm unsure about a few things.

I'm about 5'11, 160 lbs, 32" waist/inseam but I'm not very muscular. Do you need to be muscular and shirtless to succeed in this industry? I know modeling has so many little niches and I'm hoping there's a place for me.. Thanks for your input. Any tips for attending open calls would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few photos, sorry I know they aren't the best. And yes, I really am 17..and I can grow a beard :)

Answer 3

Look dude,

I don't know huge amounts about the modeling business, and I really don't know why anyone would WANT to enter it.

Sure, it's an easy way for people to make money; and if someone offered me a modeling contract I'd be extremely flattered and might even consider it; but then I'd realize what I'd be subjecting myself to and come to my senses.

The modeling world is cruel, vein, and stupid.

Do you really want people judging you?

People will make you feel ugly no matter how beautiful you are.

It would be a life full of restrictions.

People telling you that you aren't good enough.

I know you'd find this anywhere; but at least in other jobs, you'd be using you brain, and not just seen as an object.

Why not find a more for-filling line of work?

I think you have a good face, but the pic of you in the white shirt, your body didn't seem too toned. If your going out for the modeling career, you have to have the whole pakage. Maybe start working out and you'll have a chance. :)
