Since I joined Models.com I’ve met some really cool people. Through these people I have not only been entertained, but I’ve also learned alot! I even had a recent photo shoot with a guy I was refered to by someone I met on the forums. The advice I get has really helped me. There are lots of people with lots of different experiences ready to give direction to anyone who asks, on the forums. And the Agency Directory is really convienient.

What advice would you have for other aspiring models trying to get noticed by these agents?
Take clear pictures of yourself, and don’t fib about your stats. It IS tempting to say your measurments are a few inches more favorable than what they are (I even did it at first), but actually it will just work against you. People can tell. Also, don’t take it personally if you may not fit into the category of modeling that you wish to fit into. Modeling is like any other job, really. Some people are born with a natural inclination to be good at it, for one reason or another. Others just aren’t. If you aren’t meant to be a model, that just means you are best at somthing else! Don’t take criticism personally.

How did you become interested in modeling?
When I was 12 a woman who worked for the Kim Dawson agency in Dallas, TX told me I could be a model. Sounded good to me!

What agencies have you been in contact through MODELS.com?
HMM, Ford NY, DNA, and Kim Dawson so far!

What was your experience with them?
None yet! I’m going to NYC this month to see what happens!
