As a professional photographer, I see it everyday. I have young male and female models, some beautiful and some with a definate fashion look or some with body measurements to fit the requirements for glamour modeling.

Most teen models who are interested in posing for model pics for the fun of it have no clue about the business end of entertainment. They don't realize talent scouts and photography companies are very intolerant when approached by an amateur who shows up late, dresses in the wrong way or even wears heavy makeup to the open call interview. All these things are important and are covered in the lessons for modeling on this website.
Let's face some facts ... Ford, IMG and Elite Modleing Agencies and beauty products are most likely going to turn you down when you apply.

Taking the first step to a modeling career demands that you take a good look at yourself. Two points: What is your area of interest? You might be interested in walking the catwalk, become one of those women posing in swimsuits as a glamour model or maybe you just want to do commercial or promotional work like you see at trade shows or even car races.
Once you determine your model interest area, make sure you know the requirements for each area. If your measurements or abilities are not suited for one type of modeling, change gears and find your second choice in your profession.
