Need to lose weight. Go down to 160lb lean

>>10975674
>>10975676
Potential. You seem to have a decent jaw and your features are nice. Cut down about 15 - 20 pounds

>>10975731
>>10975736
>>10975739
I think I could see you landing small gigs

>>10975928
oh yeah, forgot to add

>6'4, nearly 6'5
>currently about 190lbs, but going to cut down

What would be a decent weight for that height?

>>10975949
its more about composition than weight. just make sure you can see your abs well and try to be very low body fat % without losing all of your muscle

Actual signed model here. Both of you can be models as long as you are tall enough. You don't have to exercise but you do need to take better care of your skin. Anyone can be a model but not everyone can be a fashion model. You can always do stuff like lifestyle modeling as long as you have the skills and a portfolio.

But how do I build a portfolio?
Watch a couple of posing videos on YouTube at the very least or have a photographer or something like a figure drawing class teach you poses. Know a little about lighting and taking pictures. These are things you will need to understand to have people believe you have more experience than you really do. If your not lying and saying youre better than you are the next prettier face is. You two are decent enough to do fashion as long as you care for your skin better. More vegetables. Water. Organic. Gmo free. Makes a big difference for skin quality.

Have a friend with a nice camera take a bunch of pictures of you. A DSLR works great. You want many poses and many outfits and multiple locations. It could take a few days or more to build it up. Different haircuts make you look like you've done this for a while (tip for guys with longer hair) cut it one way take a bunch of pics, then a little more and more pics etc. Most of the pics will be really bad or awkward. You get maybe a couple out of hundreds that look great. That's modeling. Take these photos and put some filters to make them the way you want the art to look. I can't tell you how to take an artsy picture.

Make a modelmayhem and post these photos there. You can do up to 15. Announce your presence and accept all friend requests. Talk to the photographers to schedule some tfp shoots. Trade for print. This is trading your time as a model in exchange for prints of your work. Pictures that you use to say you are a model.

Have some of these photos printed out at Walmart or somewhere maybe a bit better. Send them with a link in the letter to your modelmayhem page.

Well, what I did was send pictures to different agencies, worked for me.

Had a lot of rejections because of my height tho (6'4 / 194cm). My current agency just lies about my length to potential customers so I have that going for me. Went to Milan this Jan for my first fashion week, didn't land any jobs tho and the work is kind of weird so if I were you, you should just find something you'd enjoy doing. TL;DR: Modeling is overrated

>>10975977
Send them with a self addressed stamped envelope to as many modeling agencies as you can. Mail not email. Send the photos through mail because they have to mail them back to you if they decide not to. Snail mail shows dedication.

You will probably be accepted to go to an open casting and if you pass you are now a working model. If you fuck this up its OK because you can always do art modeling, which is what I prefer anyway. Way more fun and creative. Have lots of photos taken of you for exchange of your time for prints until your experiences and have a nice enough portfolio to start charging for your time. Congrats you are a pro model this way as well.

Think of it like a business where your face is the product. The more camera time and experience your face has in front of a camera the more legitimate of a model face it is, and thus the more you can charge for a photographer to take a picture of it. The senior tech gets paid more than the Jr because he knows more and has done it more. The same worms with a model. Once you have a lot of experience you can charge more and more money for a shoot. For art I find the upper limit for me currently is around 100/hr for clothed and 200/hr for nude/implied nudity. It can be much much higher, especially for nude but its usually gay stuff and if you want to go there that path is always for you. Not me.

see, that's the thing. it's difficult for me to drop my body fat percentage without losing too much muscle. but my main concern is the fat in my face. i dont know if it kills my potential (if i even had any to begin with)

>>10976002
Why do you guys want to be a model? Seriously why? You will be paid shit and the only satisfaction in your work is to just existence. Aspire to be something better. I modeled for a couple years because I was pressured to from people around me. I got paid not enough to warrant the disadvantages of the job. I felt so vain, and it makes your ego spiral out of control

>>10976040
*Exist

>>10976040
The money, m8. I'm broke af with my current job(s). Figure that taking some modeling jobs on the side would definitely help if possible

>>10976040
Shit that never happened

>>10976047
If your in it for the money you won't make it. There are much more efficient ways to make money than modeling. It takes a while to make money. Read my posts

>>10976047
Agree with >>10976057 I made more money as a waiter

>>10976057
>>10976063
So, even as a third job it wouldn't be worth it? I just imagined that every now and then a job might show up so I could make a bit more money, or is that just not how it works?

>>10976070
No agencies require a lot of flexibility. You have to want to be a model to be a successful model that gets paid. Working constantly.

>>10976057
This. Male models get paid next to nothing.

Can I be a model? Please fa I need this.

>>10975932
You're too nice anon

>>10975977
>>10975998
Thanks Anon, I'll look into it.

>>10976040
Why? I like the idea of not having to do manual labor or working behind a desk, and getting pictures taken of me seems like an ok way to do that instead. Standing around all day doesn't bother me that much, seeing as you have to do that already as a cadet. As for my body, I'm not that super confident in it, and this should make me face my fear (and hopefully looks better too).I also would like to travel, and apparently people go on shoots everywhere, which seems really cool. The money is also nice. Not the best, but it's alright.

''i want to be a model''

what is wrong with you people? why not aspire to be something worthwhile. fuck, why not aspire to something that actually benefits you in a way that isn't 90 percent being able to tell people 'what you do'
