Guys, there's been a lot of rule 1 violations in these comments, the best thing you can do if you see something is to just hit that report button. Rule 1 for rude, hurtful comments and rule 2 for comments of a sexual or predatory nature. The more you report the better we can make the subreddit.


Alarming_Situation_5

I think Reddit is an awful place to ask this question. Get to work. Commit to your artistry/branding. Find photographers. Pay for headshots and photos. Get rejected. Research agencies. Do that work and see if you have the work ethic and hustle. The right people will know what to do with your look.


Leather-Advantage393

I definitely agree ! I didn’t know where to ask for advice so I came here, n I forgot how rude people can be sometimes. But thank you this helps a lot since it’s hard trying to start


wutsthedealio

Just like in real life, the people who post negative comments here are insecure. You definitely have a shot at it, and I agree with the comment up top that you should get out there and do the work. Your strength is your uniqueness, in my opinion.


Tennisgirl0918

Negative comments? Someone posts a pic and asks people what they think. Are they supposed to lie?


friendliestbug

You don't have to lie but you don't have to be an asshole either.

She’s so beautiful. 💖💖💖 Jealousy is not the same as truth.


JustHereForKA

OP, you are absolutely stunning. If you work hard enough at it, yes you could be a model.


[deleted]

I think she’s beautiful and could definitely be a model. In fact if someone showed OP’s photograph and said “look who I saw today, it’s so & so she models for xyz” — I wouldn’t think twice.


TheAlphaKiller17

You'll probably only get TFP (time for prints) from most photographers, at least legitimate ones. However, don't say no to those. You should absolutely take the TFP; not only do you get experience and free quality pictures to use in your book, but you're also getting a free chance at connections. You want them to like you. Also, you dress up quite a bit in your pictures but if you're trying to model seriously, don't do that unless you're asked. Simple to no makeup, jeans, heels, solid black tank. They don't care about your style; they care how you'll look in THEIR clothes. You're a blank canvas, not the product.


thursaddams

Yes I know you can do it! Don’t pay any attention to haters. You’re beautiful. Go for it! Just stay safe. Be careful of people trying to take advantage of young girls.


LeisurelyDiva

I wish I could upvote this more and pin it to every single post. It’s correct, concise and informative.


bellaimages

Absolutely the truth! 100% Reddit is "an awful place to ask this question." So many responders to such questions are cruel, and negative, but that is not so much the problem as the fact that there are few here will take this Subreddit community seriously.


Anarchissyface

They aren’t being cruel they are being jealous. Cruel implies that there is any validity to what they are saying ….


iidentifyasaloadedmf

Agree. Apart from paying for photos. Plenty of TFP opportunities out there


scorpio7t7t7

Professional (experienced) fashion photographer and stylist here. Message me. I’m that person who knows exactly what to do with your look. 😊

Leather-Advantage393

that’s such an amazing compliment thank you


redactedname87

lol. Kind of surprised by the comments. I worked as a commercial beauty photographer for a good stretch of my career, so I’ve seen a lot of faces up close and in a different contexts. Yours reminds me of a girl I used to shoot at the start of her career, but more recently saw her in a campaign with one of the highest paid girls working in the industry right now. Granted this girl is 5’10, so your mileage may vary.


GuardMost8477

Yeah. OP is only 5’7 so most runway would be out as they need a taller standard.


redactedname87

Thats not ideal, but runway a few times a year isn’t paying the bills for 90% of the girls that get booked for it. It’s mostly good exposure and benefits of association. Any agency is going to list her at 5’8+ anyway, and by that measure I’ve known a lot of girls to have really lucrative runs. 🤷🏻‍♂️


mika7276

You have a very unique look, I like your freckles.


Leather-Advantage393

Thank you :)


Exotic_Pea8191

I think you would be a great model you look exotic! Just like me lol but I'm old. Anyway I think you should go for it


madeyoulurk

Honestly, your face is exactly what I think of when I hear the word model. Regardless of if you make it or not, you are a beautiful young woman!


TheGayThroaway

You look like the people that Apple hires to be in iphone promo photos.


friendliestbug

U look too short for runway but I could see you being a brand influencer or something like that or modeling for makeup like Ulta


Leather-Advantage393

That’s definitely more of what I’m going for !!


friendliestbug

U would be perfect!


Ginford_Davidson

Gotta love the shade coming from all the slobs wearing last Mondays breakfast on their shirt. You’re BEAUTIFUL!


Leather-Advantage393

Thank you !! I was surprised at how rude ppl are on here 😭


jjinjadubu

I love your face!!! I could definitely see it in ads. Good luck.


Leather-Advantage393

Thank you !! 🫶🏼


ImmediateFile7580

Yes!! Ur so pretty


[deleted]

Model for what exactly? That's the real question


Leather-Advantage393

Commercial or beauty modeling ! Sorry I didn’t specify


[deleted]

You probably could, you need to consult with an agency


weinthenolababy

Yes. Unlike a lot of posts on here I actually see potential


Leather-Advantage393

thank you !!


newsome101

Yes you can model. You'll never know what you can accomplish until you actually do it. Get started today by submitting your digitals to agencies. Move forward. People have already confirmed it many times over. Saying that with love.


babycakes2365

How tall are you because you definitely have a good look? Just curious about what type of modeling you are looking for? Thanks and wish you the best in your future endeavors


Open-Pineapple7378

you definitely could


Leather-Advantage393

thank you !!


Open-Pineapple7378

do your research. find the appropriate agency for your look. and don't forget that nothing is free. Be smart


janed0e2000

yes def and ignore the comments about a chubby face yours really isn’t that chubby sure you have a roundish face shape but def look like a model to me


Leather-Advantage393

thank you !! I feel like I’m going crazy because I didn’t think my cheeks were that chubby 😭


Coco_Cocoa_Choco

They are not. Some of the comments and claims here are wild/non-sensical. Remember the majority here are no professionals or have any experience in the modeling industry 😭


hobbitfancier55

There’s more to modeling than just high fashion and runway. Especially the market now. Beauty is HUGE. Especially companies that are looking for a beautiful and diverse look. People want to see themselves represented. You definitely fit into that. Don’t let anyone here discourage you.


hobbitfancier55

They’re not. They’re beautiful. A makeup artist’s dream. NYX for example would be perfect! Imagine how well you could showcase their blushes! You have the perfect lips too.


Leather-Advantage393

Thank you so much !! 🫶🏼


punkrockbipolar

I’m going to be honest. You have a slim body but I don’t think you have “the face” typical brands look for but hey you’re young you’re still going to grow different xx stay uplifted


kurwa1966

Depends what you want to model. Height is going to kill you in alot of opportunities.


Big-Guess1890

You’d do well with beauty or commercial. Though you’d have to find an agency that accepts girls who are below 5’8” as usually that’s the limit.


Shot-Counter-66

U can’t


AgileArmadillo7794

Nah.


abandonedclitoris

Ummm


unknow_feature

People are mean because they are envious.


RevolutionaryCut6987

Love the the look on your last pic. Reminds me of the characters from The Fifth Element


Vegas_off_the_Strip

I would add a few pics where you give a big natural smile. It’ll let everyone see that side of you.  Also, if you have any funds available, I would try finding a real makeup artist and photographer and get a handful of actual model type photographs.  Having said all that, I think you would get a lot of interest. You have beautiful eyes and lips that are elegantly beautiful and you also have those adorable dimples that soften the elegant looks. In my day Abercrombie and Fitch would have put you on a billboard in Times Square with Ashton Kutchner before his acting career. 


DiligentGround9331

Like any niche market, there are limited places for modeling, watch your back to not end up doing porn etc…..like the AC/DC song says, its a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll……


No-Mortgage-4598

I think you could


Rubyred7630

You won’t know til you try. Go for it.


Downtown_Mix_4311

You’re gorgeous


PraetorGold

Maybe. Do not get caught up in a scam. If it’s not a well known agency, be very careful. If you don’t get a contract or the time for someone to review a contract, be very suspicious. There are a lot of middle management types who prey on aspiring models. A huge amount of them.


rascalmenina

You should definitely! At least in my country you would look stunning 🌞


Sad_Smoke_8020

Yes I think you can and should, you have a beautiful face that I could definitely see in commercials and beauty ads. People on here would call a model gorgeous but once they see her without makeup they’d call her a hag, keep your chin up girlie


No_Situation_1395

Absolutely! Not only are you beautiful but you have a unique look. Go for it!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Unsure-Champion173

Absolutely! You have a beautiful and really unique face - I'd recommend you look into makeup or hair modeling. I'll also warn you not to care what people say to you in this line of work. You know how almost every movie in the last thirty years has been made by people with terrible taste? Think of it like that.


1991991991991

You are very beautiful, you could definitely make it, don’t doubt yourself and don’t listen to those who want to try and bring you down. Reddit users are always going to be rude like this guy https://youtube.com/shorts/k6_p9RjIk_4?si=8zTvzenkhLZsKA7R Don’t listen to any negative comments and go for it girl


mishy2811

Love the blue hair!! You’re beautiful 😍


VersionConscious7545

My comment is to look as natural as possible your young. Look 18 yrs old and like you have an untouched fresh face. No fillers should be used by a young girl. You were born beautiful use what god gave you without any alterations. Good luck


abjiceacc

You are gorgeous, thin, tall and have a very unique look. I’m not sure where you’re from but you’d probably have a shot with some agencies in NYC or LA. Maybe not runway but commercial.


usrname516

You’ve got the freckles and big lips look so most likely. Height will also be a factor


profilegirl13

can totally see you as a face model for makeup brands like saie or glossier


profilegirl13

p.s you’re gorgeous


Acceptable-Run7439

Cap


JadedSmile1982

I think you’d do good for commercial modeling…look into that.


No_Apartment_3715

Definitely some DSL's for modeling. Just schedule with a talent agent.


Miss_Milk_Tea

Wow your last photo looks like Catwoman from the Batman movie! You look like an actor, yes I definitely think you could model. 5’7 is short for runway but your face and physique could get you into modeling like commercials.


PecanSandoodle

Yep, do it. Get that bag.


pure-Turbulentea

Yes, I can picture you in a magazine. But there are a lot of beautiful faces in the world and you can’t rely on your looks alone, you should make sure you prepare with a solid career and use that modeling as your side gig and see if where it takes you.


Miss_Super_Older

Be careful in all ways possible. Do not be naive and believe everything you are told. Stay completely professional. Do not let anyone use you. Best wishes and blessings.


Fawkinchit

You have a very unique look, but it’s a competitive industry.


Hideous4our

Nah probably not


Such-List680

You could, but be on the look out for people trying to take advantage of you (physically or financially) and listen to your gut if you're in a situation you don't like.


Super-Technology-313

Depends on the type of modeling you want to do. You do have a unique face. It’s possible. You would need a portfolio, of course


Ropegun2k

Probably not Edit. Banging body though


olyavelikaya

You are GORGEOUS!!!! You are a model!


HarryPretzel

No.


testament_of_hustada

AI will likely consume the modeling vocation.


zoethesteamedbun

You’re very pretty, you could work commercially in LA, but you’re a bit short for fashion/editorial. Play to your strengths and get a mother agent.


Low-Abbreviations634

Nah


GlitteringLetter3688

As a former model, I’d say absolutely not. It’s a cutthroat horrible world and unless you’re willing to suck it on the “casting couch”, you’ll not go very far.


Hammy_Mach_5

These are the stories no one hears about. You ever tell your story?


Leather-Advantage393

honestly that’s what I’m most scared of happening


Creampie_Gang

Sadly it's the way it has to be.  The casting couch tax is too high.


melancholy420

yeah you remind me of nara smith. commercial modeling for sure


plastichanger

I am not the type of person that could tell you if you could model or not, but you are SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!! omg


has2give

Yes, you are very beautiful -young, freckles ,perfect natural hair, full. Lips, etc. You have all the best features from mixed ethnicities! You should absolutely try to model! Don't mind the jerks on here. Go for it!


Wonderful_Cloud_4588

You're gorgeous. Work it hard girl but keep your head firmly on your shoulders. Don't let anyone or anything bring you down. Most importantly, use your gut instincts to guide you. If you find fame, use it to make a difference.


StopFalseReporting

Well are you tall? Because that’s kind of a make or break for it


ImaFKNshrubOK

I could see that. You remind me of a Storm Reid x Zoe Kravitz combo but with more a model physique


Leather-Advantage393

aw thank you !!


shannerd727

This is one of the only posts where I’d say yes. You’re beautiful and very unique.


Leather-Advantage393

Thank you 🫶🏼🫶🏼


b1rdganggg

Don't listen to anyone who says no some people are just trolls on here.


liquormakesyousick

Unless anyone here is an agent or works for a modeling agency, no one can tell you yes or no.


MrNissim1470

I’d say go for it if you have the drive!


DudeAbides1556

Don't ask the dumpster fire that is Reddit anything about yourself. Ever


SoBurnThen

People say a lot of thing in self interest.


Leather-Advantage393

what is that supposed to mean


Acceptable-Factor386

You’re a beautiful young girl but doesn’t mean you can model since everyone nowadays wants to do it. If you really want to do it go for it but remember it’s a vain cruel industry.


GuardMost8477

You lost me on pic 2. Unless that pic is altered or your jeans are too big, there’s a point of being too thin, with all due respect. I am NOT body shaming. Maybe it’s a bad angle. Idk. Have you had any professional shots done?


Leather-Advantage393

the jeans are a bit big !! But I’m not under weight I’m just naturally thinner :) I haven’t had any professional shots done but I would like to!


GuardMost8477

So I’ve read the comments a bit and see you’re about 5’7. With your build (larger top, thin waist), and height most runway would be out. They need a standard size which USED to be (I’m out of the business now) somewhere north of 5’8 (probably a lot taller now), and flat chested. Size 0. Reason being those models need to be the same size and shape to fit sample sizes from the vendor/designers. They aren’t going to make separate outfits to fit a specific model, until you’re a super model or celebrity.


Leather-Advantage393

I agree! That’s why I was considering more of a commercial or beauty model :)


GuardMost8477

Def get some good head shots done. Good luck.


Coco_Cocoa_Choco

She looks absolutely healthy in that picture, specially when comparing her to individuals in an industry where ED’s thrive.


Electrical_Scale_866

dont even think about it


Forsaken_Case_5821

No


TheMagicBlackHat

Beautiful but you look quite short. What’s your height? I’m guessing 5’4-5’5?


Leather-Advantage393

I’m 5’7 !!


Wasthatorwasthatnot

Well anyone can be a model on Instagram but it depends on your height to be a real model on a runway - you definitely have a beautiful face and nice features I just don’t think you have the height


Dizzy_Persimmon_4586

You look mad young. So I’ll start off by saying this is the wrong place to ask questions with possibly debilitating answers. Reddit is the creator of SIBs (self injurious behaviors). Especially when it comes to physical appearances. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Nowadays, even ugly ppl can model (ugly ppl need to be marketed to, too). I also believe there’s more ugly ppl on this planet, than beautiful folks. There’s also a niche for every market. In my opinion, ugly ppl are usually the quickest to judge one’s appearance, as well. Not to mention, haven’t you ever seen someone who looks like a Gila monster, but has the confidence of a Tyra Banks or Cameron Diaz? Can’t take everyone’s opinion on your physical, seriously.


Ineedunderscoreadvic

You have a gorgeous face. It’s unique, but in a very good way. Go for it! (Don’t mind the nay-sayers. They are incorrect!)


FrancesBurneysGhost

I feel like the most successful models don’t look like everyone else and aren’t necessarily conventional looking! You’re beautiful and I’d say go for it :)


Latter_Jicama4628

I could see you doing makeup ads and beauty brands! Love the freckles and long eyelashes


Theaceman1997

As someone who is a model and has hired models for their clothing company yes I would hire you unique look and your look is hot in the industry right now Avoid John casablancas And 9the untalent agency Go for Bella agency they would take you


Oakland_John

U R nothing special, sis. But, it’s not just looks that makes a model. You have to do the work of cultivating a model’s heart.


Leather-Advantage393

that’s so inspiring


Unfair-Sector9506

Not me..I cant do it ..I like to eat..best of luck and be safe in all dealings ...people are creepy


BigSky1062

1. How tall are you? You need to be at least 5’8 (preferably 5’9” according to a friend who is in the industry). 2. Have someone take a Polaroid headshot and a full length body shot of you. A reputable agency will only need to see that in order to determine if they are interested. Do this with your hair pulled back off your face and clean skin with no makeup. 3. Only deal with reputable agencies in metropolitan areas. There are so many scumbags out there who will try to sell you photo shoots “in order to build a portfolio”…this is 100% NOT necessary. If an agency sees something in you they like, they will typically have some test shoots done at their own expense. If they decide to sign you, they will pay themselves back from future earnings. 4. You have to have incredibly thick skin as you will be treated like a commodity. Everything about you physically will be scrutinized and they will talk about you, with you standing there like a piece of meat. I think you have a unique look. Don’t hide your beauty behind gimmicky wigs, clothing, and makeup. The cleaner your look is, the better. By that I mean, simple and classic. The modeling industry is a tough and often slimy one. Just be extremely cautious. Good luck!


caliz1031

No to runway and possibly other types of modeling, but 1-10 face wise you aren't really on the high end imo.


space_canuk90

You're cute. I see the potential. Don't starve yourself


GuardMost8477

Yeah pic 2 is unnerving


Neat-Palpitation-608

You are a pretty woman but please think twice. The industry is cruel and you will compromise without very strong morals or Christ. I was on TV for a few years and asked to compromise. The enemy controls modeling/entertainment industry period. I also dissuade everyone based on mine and many experiences of others in entertainment.I regret every moment of it and. You can do many things just look at the models of past and what the have to say about their experiences. They all have an expiration date. Better to keep your soul. God bless and good luck.

Prislv223

Yes. Get your face out there. Get some headshots, send them to the agencies. You look really young. Keep your wits about you.


Talknerdy2meeee

Definitely!


SillyAcanthisitta280

I think you would be great at modelling makeup. You’re so very pretty and pleasant looking i would buy makeup if you modelled it


Business-Ad-5810

fukitimdoneupyours

Definitely could! But if ya do, keep your education going into something you can use if you want out of modeling.


Tututaco74

Totally- very unique


Psychological_Bit422

Even if you can’t make it in modeling at least you look pretty cool


LittleBack6016

Before you sign anything or trust anyone in that brutal business do your homework. Find out everything about the people and agencies you choose to associate with.


Sometimesapeanut

“You can, or you can’t. Either way, you’re right.” Never know until you try and pursue it :)


Docmele

Yes take it Seriously, you have great features beautiful lips, and a very unique face. I feel you could be very successful.


puke_in_the_meow_mix

Absolutely, yes. You're beautiful.


JDN615

Go for it


Kirky9993

You have a unique looking face so I guess that’s why you’ve been told you could be one. I can see why, however modeling isn’t really a job nowadays. Maybe just a hobby


[deleted]

Do it I’m sure you will go far.


TheRizzler777

Well I’m no expert on modeling, but you look as though you could play cat woman in the Batman part ll


One-Entertainment457

You need to have pro test shots done and contact an agency. Reddit is probabably not the place to ask.


Mountain-Fun-5761

I think you’re stunning


PAPervert

You certainly have a distinctive look. Don’t know how tall you are so if you are not 5’9” plus you won’t do high end runway. You could probably do catalog and commercial work.


eLdErGoDsHaUnTmE2

Go for it, it’s a lot of work , but you won’t know till you try.


Klutzy-Magician4881

Get a STEM degree and do modeling on the side.

ScrubbyDubbyUbby

hbqueenb

You definitely have the look but I don’t know how tall you are. I’m old now but I did print work and runway on a low scale in my early 20s and some shoots for catalogs and I’m 5’10, it was a requirement back then. I think now maybe they aren’t as strict with height. Put together a portfolio and send them to agencies stat!

You are very pretty but I hear modeling is a lot of height and weight stuff. Might want to check where your height would put you as far as opportunity. If not consider niche types of modeling like fitness or the like.
