Want to be a model?
Have
you ever thought about modeling? Or perhaps thinking of modeling is a
difficult and complicated work? Well there are different kinds of modeling,
and so different kinds of models. Having just a pretty face is not the
only qualification when embarking on a modeling career. Attitude, self-discipline
and confidence also play a major role. People of all ages and shapes are
always being asked for background extra work in TV and movie productions,
commercials and especially in photographic advertising. You don't have
to be a raving beauty or the most handsome guy in the world. A lot depends
on your facial bone structure, your eyes, your body shape and height,
your hair color, your personality and most important, your determination
and attitude to the profession. In some cases, it can depend on the right
look for the right moment, or the current trend, but a classic model will
always be successful. There are many rejections at interviews, but there
are also many acceptances, you just need a positive attitude.
Being a model is not
just the matter of only made name for yourself, or make lots of money.
It is also not the matter of picture yourself on the cover of a glossy
magazine or in a fashion feature in another magazine, as well as strutting
you style down the catwalk wearing fabulous outfits by the leading fashion
designers. It is a lot more and important than that.
Being a model means
improving your confidence and presentation skills. It is a great benefit
to your self-esteem. A person who has confidence and self-esteem will
always stand out from others who have not, and this charisma will carry
on through ones life.
Of course there are
some special requirements if you want to work in fashion, editorial typical
work, runway shows and high fashion magazines.
The general requirements
are as follows:

WEIGHT: standard size 46kg - 55kg
EXERCISE: Toned bodies are a must

not work with male fashion models over this height as they tend to "tower"
over any females in the shoot, thereby throwing off the balance of the
