Questions Stephanie has Answered:
Are there any hard and fast rules on what your measurements need to be for modelling?As a general rule, model agencies expect that men are at least six foot tall whilst woman are about 5 foot 9 or taller. Men tend to need to be well built and muscular with a toned body, whilst with women basically the emphasis is on them being skinny. Some countries are stricter than others whilst the best way is to contact an individual agency you are interested in and ask if they have particular stats you must measure favourably against.
Do models shave their faces? i know that the pictures in mags. use lots of make-up, camera light etc. but their skin looks so smooth, glowing & flawless. i have tried just about everything to cover redness, sun damaged skin, dark circles. help i need some. thank you, caroline
It depends on the model and how much facial hair they have. If they start to develop a fair amount of hair on the lip or if they have dark hair then yes they might, those with fair hair or little facial hair will not as a rule shave their faces.
I am really serious as a teenage girl and i want to get modelling straight away, what is your best advice for me to get started
If you want to get straight into modelling then first remember that it is not as glamorous a world as people say - it can be bitchy, hard and difficult. If you are still determined, then you need to get a portfolio done - source a reputable photographer and get a good range of shots showing versatility but also targetting the area of modelling you think you are strongest suited to. Then get in touch with agencies that are close enough to you to be convenient for you and also that are either generalists or specialise in the type of modelling you are interested in, and see if you can get to meet someone there, be persistent and believe in yourself.
