you are fit to model almost anything. High
Fashion models are typically 5'7" to 6' tall and
an extremely thin size 7 with 32-35" bust,
22-25" waist and 33-36" hips. They are not
necessarily classically beautiful. PETITE
measurements would be 5'5" to 5'8" tall and a
size 5 to 7. The model MUST have a
well-proportioned body. PLUS SIZE models are
5'7" to 5'11" tall and wear a size 12 to 14,
have a well-toned and proportioned body with a
thin face, good skin and beautiful hair. Always

Great Portfolio |
Alright you have great
looks that can turn heads while you walking on
public place but that is not enough at all. How
do you look in photos are key factor for clients
or photographers to choose you from the lot. It
is quite often so deserving models get lost
because of poor portfolio. You port folio should
be much stronger than own looks. This would
happen only either your portfolio is shot by a
commercial photographer or a very talented
armature. So before you step in this industry,
you must be armed with a great portfolio.

Do you have
inner strength? |
Beside looks and great
portfolio, The model should posses strong will
power and confidence to hunt for right
opportunity with a determination to work harder
and harder. You must be stronger from inside
your attitudes, mannerism, communications
skills, and patience can put you on the desired
place in the industry. Never think that modeling
is full of glamour, but if you look in to
rationally it is not just glamour as it seems
from outside. When you see a beautiful model
wearing great smile, there is lot of hard work
behind it from the client, photographer and
creative people to full fill their set
objectives. So your inner personality plays
equal role as your outer look.

right direction? |
One more quality you must
have is to differentiate between right and wrong
people. If you are new to this filed you must
choose the right band of people in this
profession. Else, there are lots of bogus people
in this industry who will misguide you at the
cost of your own money. So never make fool out
of you. Always go to professional photographers,
coordinator, agencies, production houses for
films and TV commercial, ad filmmakers. If you
in right hands with a quality to become success
no one can stop you to be top of the world.
