However I do love pictures and enjoy being behind the camera I would like to know from you If maybe you think I got potential I think I'm ready to give it a shot. The main reason why I never tried is because I'm a short person but according to some I'm very photogenic. Hi Lisa,

Scouts look for models that face/body are photogenic and once they're testing with photogrpahers they learn their personal style of movement- this is how models inspire photogrpahers/clients people.. so it's agencies don't do training in that sense. How I "train" my models is by signing them and getting their skin, body in the right shape- then I send them to work abroad or in NY/LA for a few weeks to test shoot and the model learns the business by actually doing. Basically, all agencies around the world (mother agencies) send their new faces to other model fashion markets to learn how to move/pose, build their book etc- this is how they get 'trained'.. then once they are ready then they go to the bigger markets to make money! Hope this helps Hi Sharn,

The key is working in the markets that you are best suited for to build your book.. very few models can start in NY or Paris. Most in the US must start in LA or Miami or they travel abroad (asia) to get experience and tearsheets/good test shoots. There is also the commercial print market in LA and NY, where a photogenic model at 5'7 can do well with this type of agency (Bella, CESD, IMAGES) and also shooting TV commercials. So there are options at your height. It pretty much all matters how you photograph. You definitely have to work harder at 5'7, but it's NOT impossible to have a career modeling if you approach it right and YOU keep your body in great shape. Miami is a great market to start!! Thanks for stopping by my blog xoxo Lisa Hi Shanika,
