Exactly !! Thank you Tatiana for sharing your experiences in that modeling industry. I used to scout sometimes for a agency as a hobby .. every details has to fit as a package. Excited about more video Formats coming dealing with those topics.. xx
I agree with you and believe based off what I see in today’s society that you don’t have to be pretty to be a model. It better to tell them the truth and not waste their time. It really is a hard industry to work in.
Love seeing the different beauty standards and what makes an individual a model. She is gorgeous I love the shape of her face and she makes each pose look so effortless
Thank you so much Mariela! Yes, it's a very difficult industry with many negative aspects, but still there's a beauty and magic in it. Like in most of the things in this world I guess...
The fact you used an art analogy was interesting I wouldn’t have thought that modeling was an intuition on seeing if the person is suitable but I also tend to think the lines have been semi blurred . like I feel like influencers (while yes they maybe be “pretty” are now overtaking what would be a mainstream media modeling gig such as being in a huge clothing campaign
Thank you so much dear! Well, when it comes to influencers, it's still a bit different from modeling...I've talked about it one of my other videos called "fashion models vs instagram models" ua-cam.com/video/WuEZPulp4No/v-deo.html The clients are looking for influencers audience first and only after that they pay attention to their look ( see if they're a good fit for the brand or not). At some pount that line between modeling and influencers can be blurred, but still I don't think that influencers could ever replace models completely :)
Thank you so much!! Yes, it's absolutely true. I mean there's of course a commercial modeling where you will mostly see beautiful faces (aka the beauty that can be understood by everyone), but the agencies are always looking for someone unique and special, eye - catching, because models with such looks can become future stars.
Not at all i have been studying facial structure from a scientific point of view. I have analysed countless model pictures from novice to professional. It does not mean u are odd, features present in models are desirable and if u yourself did not have those model features you would have been "uglier" or less attractive than urself right now. Feel free to share ur instagram and i can let u know
When I was younger I considered the idea of being a model as I was fairly thin, and fairly tall. I never had a good face though haha. Given that I'm older I have learned it never would have worked because my waist was too wide. Even when I wore a size 0-2 my waist was too big. I think it's interesting information to know now, at least I know I didn't miss a chance of some kind by passing on the idea due to my own insecurities.
I always say that there are some exceptions everywhere. Some models don't fit into all of the industry standards, but still are successful... Each case is different, I'm just trying to explain the most common scenarios of how everything works here... Anyways, I think everything happens for a reason. And if you've made this choice, maybe something more beautiful and exciting is ahead of you instead of modeling. Don't ever doubt your beauty and self love. Good luck in whatever you're up to! :)
It is very beautifully and simply explained by you.. This is the type of genuine feedback people look for.. Someone who will really care enough to guide them through the struggle especially at the start of the journey! 👌
Wow this was so interesting to watch and the way you explained how some models are found is very detailed. I’m very short I didn’t even know there was such a thing for short models.
Thank you so much Jenny! Yes, it's still possible to be a model if you're not tall, but mostly freelancing or working in a local modeling market. I've explained the industry standards in this video ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html and here's a video "how to become a model" where I'm explaining everything step by step ua-cam.com/video/B_sPK2Ewy-U/v-deo.html Please check it out if you're interested. Hugs❤️
Almost every model I've seen has wider-set eyes, a shorter face, protracted jaw with a nice jawline. Look at the faces and profiles of models in magazines/online. These things make someone more esthetically pleasing. Not sure why you didn't comment on this. Crooked teeth and some blemishes can be hidden, but the basics have to be there.
Hello and thank you for sharing your thoughts :) Of course the features you’ve mentioned are great for modeling, but this is far from the whole list ( of thinking deeply about it ) and we look at the face in general to feel / see the right impression. I have several other videos explaining in details what modeling agencies love / what facial features they love + analysing types of looks that are attractive for certain modeling markets etc. We analyse the divisions of various modeling agencies, I show the examples from the magazines, models.com and etc. If you’re interested, it’s here: 1. Most popular facial features in modeling | Types of model looks ua-cam.com/video/4yDjfBjOP94/v-deo.html 2. Facial features modeling agencies love | 9 details of face / looks that will make you a model ua-cam.com/video/J7-XvPP1hR8/v-deo.html 3. Types of looks Modeling Agencies love | Korean edition | What features will make you a model in Asia ua-cam.com/video/wyOBpmYw6H4/v-deo.html Of course people can learn everything if they will pay attention to details and will be educating themselves about the industry in general - this was my main advice in this video, including doing research on models.com, checking out show packages regularly to see the trends and etc. The purpose of this video was also to share how the person thinks / feels when he / she is scouting new faces, to see it from the perspective of the industry insider. And tbh there is really no formula at all. You don’t analyse people you just feel it immediately. So, this is basically a view from the model agents and scout perspective including myself.

And I'm sure you've got this ❤️ Wishing you best of luck!
@@TatianaKurnosova I appreciate your response. The exchange rates will definitely cut me off. I would keep following your channel because it's so detailed and educative. It is such a blessing. Quick question: Do you think I look like a model with my cover photo?
Thanks for this videos, I've been watching them for a while now and your tips have been incredible! I just signed with an agency but my first job didn't happen (covid related 😭). I would love if you made a video about what to do once you have signed to build a relationship with the agency and remind them you're available etc! Thank you again ❤
Hi Betsy, cograts on your contract with the agency, I'm so happy for you!❤ Oh, and I can totally relate - 2020 has been hard for everyone and we need to adapt to it as much as we can. So many jobs have been cancelled, especially during the strict lockdown. Where are you from by the way? It's actually a wonderful video idea :) I will think it through and will come up with something ASAP. Take care and thank you for watching my videos. Hugs❤️
@@TatianaKurnosova Thank you so much, you're so sweet! Completely, it'll all get better soon I am sure! I am based in Dublin/ London at times! What about you actually! Oh, I would love if you did, I will be waiting for it haha Thank you again!! ❤️
@@betsygachagan5030 You're welcome :) It's nice that you're not far from London, there are many modeling opportunities there. I'm currently staying in Russia - figuring out my next steps haha. This year has been different from my usual non - stop traveling schedule. I mostly work / live in Seoul, Tokyo, Paris and Moscow. Have visited NYC in the beginning of this year and realized that I just can't imagine myself anywhere except Asia - I feel much more comfortable there.
@@TatianaKurnosova Yes, definitely! It is only a very short flight away, and I have some family and friends there too. So that is hopefully the next step for me! I am sure from next year, everything will be clearer, and it will be easier to figure things out then! It sounds so exciting that you get to travel so much with work! But as someone who has lived in different countries and continents, I can understand how different life can be. So staying where it feels like home to you is the most important always! Hopefully, you are back traveling soon again! ❤️
I've recently started "petite modeling" series where I'm sharing everything about becoming a model if you're not tall or don't meet some of the industry standards. The first video is already available here ua-cam.com/video/iOu9ygTR5aQ/v-deo.html I'm explaining the difference between petite modeling and regular modeling and the next one will be about becoming a petite model (step by step guide )and will be published tomorrow, so check it out if you're interested :) Of course it's really hard to work as a petite model and even more competitive, but it's still possible if you know where to start and what to do exactly...
Hello Olivia, yes, it actually matters - you need to treat your acne scars if possible. But you can still apply to the modeling agencies. If they'll love your look, they will also help you with advices and everything. + everything really depends on the market. In local / small modeling markets the requirements aren't that strict. But when it comes to professional modeling, it's harder because the industry is extremely competitive. I recommend you to watch my other video "Modeling with Tattoos Braces Scars Piercings | Can you still become a model? Pros and cons" here ua-cam.com/video/anLQ6bTGPZ4/v-deo.html I think it will get you an idea of how everything works. Anyways, I know many models who have been healing skin and signed a contract with modeling agency. So, if you're interested in modeling, please try it out and contact several agencies too. Good luck!
1. The model of the in-between shots is like the human version of a ghost. So captivating 2. Thoughts on face birthmarks? Edit: and by birthmarks I mean freckle-like dark spots
Both birth marks ( by the way they are often called beauty marks ) and freckles both show the unique beauty of the model and make the look more captivating in my opinion :) Such details can also become a trade mark. The brigtest example is Cindy Crawford. Gigi Hadid also has many beauty marks on her face, I think she looks incredible! Erin Wasson, Kendra Spears and many others have them and are quite successful in modeling.
What about women? Not for me personally but someone I know who already has gained a lot of experience in front of the camera in terms of the total package and preperation speaking ability and posing and she hás a charasmatic personality and she hás sincerly best face. 💯 Is it too late to join an agency between the ages of 20-30?
Hello, yes, it's still possible to start a modeling career in the middle 20s (and older of course), but it will be more difficult and will be a bit different from how it would have worked for very young girls. The hard truth is that the agencies are mostly looking for either very young models or mature models and getting into modeling without the portfolio in your 20s or 30s is hard... But it is not impossible. With the certain efforts you can become really succefful and earn good money. But usually in such cases you'll have to start with freelance work (mostly in local fashion markets), building your portfolio and then (only if it's benefitial for you of course) find a boutique modeling agency / an agent. In my latest video about petite modeling I've explained how you can start modeling if you don't fit into some of the industry standards (I mostly talk about petite models, but actually it can be applied to everyone - when it comes to age or anything else), so feel free to check out this video as well ua-cam.com/video/ySKICZ1vIyg/v-deo.html And here's a video about the types of jobs for petite models (again, it's not only about petite modeling, but about every case that isn't so typical) ua-cam.com/video/wfSXFtoP8wc/v-deo.html I think it may be helful for your friend. Other than that, I just suggest her to take digitals (I've explained everything about it in this video ua-cam.com/video/rlv0r96mfkY/v-deo.html ) and then keep on going forward and one way or another it is possible to work at any age. Your friend just needs to find her market, her "niche", her clients... I hope it'll help.
@@TatianaKurnosova Hello, that might be great! Thank you so much!! If she Just turned 24. Could she still become a fashion model too, and join an agency? I know, someone else who Might want to be a fashion model and she just turned 19, and is it too late to join an agency too?
@@MariaLuisa-oj7dz It's not too late to start a career at 19 and 24 might be OK too, but I can't tell you for sure on 100%. Everything depends on their look, measurements, features and modeling market (the location) as well. My advice is to try and see what the agencies in your area will say. Good luck!
Hi Tiara, yes. And I've recently started "petite modeling" video series where I'm sharing everything about it. First 2 videos are already available on my channel: The basics: differences between petite and regular modeling ua-cam.com/video/iOu9ygTR5aQ/v-deo.html How to become a model if you're not tall: step by step guide ua-cam.com/video/ySKICZ1vIyg/v-deo.html Hope it'll help and good luck! :)
Can I just say that you are so beautiful. And those videos are just super helpful. I always get looks from strangers and some are telling me I should model. I have a body shape like Bella and she said that her agency told her to lose weight. I'm curious if I should try it
OMG, you're the sweetest person, thank you so much!💜 If you have a body like Bella, then you must be just flawless! At the same time each person's case is different, so you can't tell for sure if you need to change smth about your measurements or not based on "someone said smth about Bella's body"... Please don't be so focused on something you've heard in the past. And as far as I know Bella's body been changing quite a lot... She's easily gaining / losing weight back and forth, so she can't be a good example in this case, although I really really love her as a model. I recommend you to take your digitals (I've explained how to do it here ua-cam.com/video/rlv0r96mfkY/v-deo.html ) and contact modeling agencies. You'll never know if it's really for you or not, if you won't try. And if you have the doubts - again, just try it and if you'll feel it's not what you really want, you can always quit or do modeling as a hobby. Wishing you best of luck whatever you'll decide... :)
Hello and thank you for watching my videos :) First of all, please watch this video about modeling industry standards ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html where I explain everything in details (what you need to work as a model). Usually the perfect height for male models starts from 185 cm, but it doesn't mean that there are absolutely zero chances to try modeling. It can be either a hobby or freelance modeling and everything depends on your look, your features. I have a series of videos about petite modeling and I recommend you to watch them too. I mostly talk about girls, but it works the same for the guys too, so I'm sure it will be helpful: 1. Petite modeling | how to become a model if you're not tall | Agency application & freelance work ua-cam.com/video/ySKICZ1vIyg/v-deo.html 2. Petite modeling vs Regular modeling | Are petite models successful in fashion industry? ua-cam.com/video/iOu9ygTR5aQ/v-deo.html 3. Petite modeling jobs | Runway, catalogues, beauty shoots? What can petite model expect? ua-cam.com/video/wfSXFtoP8wc/v-deo.html Wishing you best of luck! 💜
It sounds hard but in a nutshell you have a beautifull face then you can be a model and no in the other case. And body doesn't matter cause the industry is "inclusive" for all body types so you don't have to work that hard 4 it. Period.
No, actually it's not that easy. As I've mentioned in this video models don't have to be exactly beautiful ( in the way most people see the beauty, being pretty etc ), it's more important being "eye catchy", interesting... rather than "perfectly beautiful". And beauty is a very subjective term as well... Body ( measurements, height etc ) does matter as well. If you fit into the industry standards ( I've explained them in this video ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html ). Yes, the industry is changing, but these changes are slow abd almost not noticeable in some parts of the world. So, if talking about professional career, becoming a top model - you need to both fit into the industry standards and have a face that will be good for modeling too. If you would like to work in local fashion markets or, for example, in US only, then you can have slightly bigger / different measurements or even try plus size modeling, find your own niche... It is possible these days, but your path towards stable and successful work will be longer comparing to "regular" models who fit into the industry standards. I hope you've got the idea. It's quite hard to explain, but now we both have the strict requirements in the industry and more opportunities. It is good, but not equal I would say...
i am malaysia,i thing i have odd beauty .big eye,full eyebrow,high cheeckbone,sharp and chiseled jaw ,shape lip and i have super small nose ,not wide but low nose bridge.will they take me? i am not confident with my nose :(
Hello Anne, it seems like you look absolutely amazing!💚We tend to over - criticize ourselves when it comes to our looks and sometimes we see things worse than they really are. Most of the times no one notices what we notices about ourselves. So, if you're really interested in modeling and you fit into the industry standards (not only the face, but the measurements and etc, I've talked about it here ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html and here are the video series about petite modeling in case you're not tall ua-cam.com/play/PL2n0G6Jp9TLYUC9SaQJ4X7o6H3xiemFLB.html ), then please apply to modeling agencies and ask for their feedback. I'm sure everything will be OK, please don't be scared! :) Here are some helpful videos I recommend you to watch that may help you: How to become a model, step by step guide ua-cam.com/video/B_sPK2Ewy-U/v-deo.html Get signed with a modeling agency | How to find the BEST AGENCY & become model ua-cam.com/video/XSMSAbFxoRM/v-deo.html Get scouted as a model | modeling tips for beginners ua-cam.com/video/AN6TbqQ-dsU/v-deo.html How to take model digitals and polaroids for agency application and more ua-cam.com/video/rlv0r96mfkY/v-deo.html Hope it'll help and wishing you best of luck! :)
Thank you for the kind words Luna 🌸🙏 And I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. How bad is it? I know psoriasis is treatable but some cases are severe, I get it. Anyways, if you're really interested in modeling, please don't give up. Try contacting some other agencies or maybe working freelance. The industry is slowly changing and more and more brands try to embrace natural beauty ( which also celebrates our imperfections as special and beautiful in its own way ) opening more opportunities. Anyways, don't be sad, sending you hugs and positive vibes 🌸🤗💕 Modeling isn't everything believe me, there are so many amazing things to try ~
@@TatianaKurnosova I'm currently taking medications for it and it isn't that severe when comparing to others. Just a few red patches here and there on the calf and ankles. And thank u too for ur kind words🥰💛 It means alot to me🥺 Have a nice day💐
No, it's not too late. Male models usually start their career later than girls and work longer ( most of the times ). So, go for it and wishing you best of luck.
Helloo tnks for your video 💕 ppl often ask me if I’m a model but idk if I fit in and I believe that I’m too curvy😅 I would really appreciate your personal opinion height 5’6 (167cm) weight 123 (56kg) 30- 23-35(77-60-90cm) I know how to dress my self but don’t think that I look like a model 😂
Hello Ynra, thank you so much for watching my videos 💚 I'm sure you look absolutely gorgeous! Yes, it seems like you have quite a curvy body, but your measurements are great. The only problem is the height, you're not that tall for "regular" modeling. I have a video explaining everything about modeling industry standards here ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html So, if you'll decide to try working as a model, I recommend you freelance first or finding a boutique modeling agency. And here's also a playlist about petite modeling ( everything you may need to know) ua-cam.com/play/PL2n0G6Jp9TLYUC9SaQJ4X7o6H3xiemFLB.html Hope it'll help. Wishing you best of luck!🌸

It works the same as with girls. I’ve explained everything about types of looks in modelling in this video ua-cam.com/video/4yDjfBjOP94/v-deo.html You need to fit into the industry standards + have the look. It can be commercial look, baby - face, strange beauty, classic + combinations of these looks.
Yes, but you need to look exceptional. Unfortunately Asian markets aren't that open to diversity yet if talking about modeling contracts. Another situation would be if you'd already had a visa and were living there - it makes things easier and gives more opportunities. But in any other cases modeling agencies aren't that ready to invite dark skinned models to their markets yet.
Please don't say this! I'm sure you are beautiful in your own way🌹 And modeling isn't about the beauty, it's more about being interesting and having something that will captivate the viewer...
Educating yourself by swallowing as much of the pre-existing not that clear standards to your subconscious instead of clearly stating them, doesn't that just keep the standards going without taking a moment to analyse ? As the industry claims to become more diverse, if you just keep thinking there should be a "model like face" based on subtle "intuitions" that really aren't, doesn't that just keep the same standards ? I am just thinking out loud but
❤ Please watch "Types of model looks" video first ua-cam.com/video/4yDjfBjOP94/v-deo.html ❤

Thank you so much for watching! Yes, I'm happy that there's more diversity in modeling right now.
This was a good take on what it takes to be a model. It takes tough skin to be in this industry since it can let people down.
Thank you so much Mariela! Yes, it's a very difficult industry with many negative aspects, but still there's a beauty and magic in it. Like in most of the things in this world I guess...
The fact you used an art analogy was interesting I wouldn’t have thought that modeling was an intuition on seeing if the person is suitable but I also tend to think the lines have been semi blurred . like I feel like influencers (while yes they maybe be “pretty” are now overtaking what would be a mainstream media modeling gig such as being in a huge clothing campaign
Thank you so much dear!
Well, when it comes to influencers, it's still a bit different from modeling...I've talked about it one of my other videos called "fashion models vs instagram models" ua-cam.com/video/WuEZPulp4No/v-deo.html
The clients are looking for influencers audience first and only after that they pay attention to their look ( see if they're a good fit for the brand or not). At some pount that line between modeling and influencers can be blurred, but still I don't think that influencers could ever replace models completely :)
I love the calm vibes of your video ✨ this is the first time I’m hearing someone say modeling isn’t about being beautiful, interesting outlook ✨
Thank you so much!! Yes, it's absolutely true. I mean there's of course a commercial modeling where you will mostly see beautiful faces (aka the beauty that can be understood by everyone), but the agencies are always looking for someone unique and special, eye - catching, because models with such looks can become future stars.
Thank you. People always seem to believe models need to be tall and fit society's beauty standards.
I've had a few complete strangers say I look like a model and I thought it was a compliment but now I realise they just meant I was odd looking lmao 😭
Whatever they ment I'm sure you look gorgeous!😁
no most people who say that just mean pretty, or everyone knows all this abt models hahah
Not at all i have been studying facial structure from a scientific point of view. I have analysed countless model pictures from novice to professional.
It does not mean u are odd, features present in models are desirable and if u yourself did not have those model features you would have been "uglier" or less attractive than urself right now.
Feel free to share ur instagram and i can let u know

Of course people can learn everything if they will pay attention to details and will be educating themselves about the industry in general - this was my main advice in this video, including doing research on models.com, checking out show packages regularly to see the trends and etc.
The purpose of this video was also to share how the person thinks / feels when he / she is scouting new faces, to see it from the perspective of the industry insider.
And tbh there is really no formula at all. You don’t analyse people you just feel it immediately. So, this is basically a view from the model agents and scout perspective including myself.
If only you could mentor me! I really need clarity on pursuing my modelling career, I want to know if I'm simply just struggling for nothing.
Hello dear, I do model mentorship and coaching, but any personal "one on one" consultations are on paid basis. If you're interested please email me for rates and I'll be happy to help.

@@TatianaKurnosova I appreciate your response. The exchange rates will definitely cut me off. I would keep following your channel because it's so detailed and educative. It is such a blessing.
Quick question: Do you think I look like a model with my cover photo?
Thanks for this videos, I've been watching them for a while now and your tips have been incredible! I just signed with an agency but my first job didn't happen (covid related 😭). I would love if you made a video about what to do once you have signed to build a relationship with the agency and remind them you're available etc! Thank you again ❤
Hi Betsy, cograts on your contract with the agency, I'm so happy for you!❤
Oh, and I can totally relate - 2020 has been hard for everyone and we need to adapt to it as much as we can. So many jobs have been cancelled, especially during the strict lockdown.
Where are you from by the way?
It's actually a wonderful video idea :) I will think it through and will come up with something ASAP.
Take care and thank you for watching my videos. Hugs❤️
@@TatianaKurnosova Thank you so much, you're so sweet! Completely, it'll all get better soon I am sure! I am based in Dublin/ London at times! What about you actually! Oh, I would love if you did, I will be waiting for it haha Thank you again!! ❤️
@@betsygachagan5030 You're welcome :) It's nice that you're not far from London, there are many modeling opportunities there. I'm currently staying in Russia - figuring out my next steps haha.
This year has been different from my usual non - stop traveling schedule. I mostly work / live in Seoul, Tokyo, Paris and Moscow. Have visited NYC in the beginning of this year and realized that I just can't imagine myself anywhere except Asia - I feel much more comfortable there.
@@TatianaKurnosova Yes, definitely! It is only a very short flight away, and I have some family and friends there too. So that is hopefully the next step for me!
I am sure from next year, everything will be clearer, and it will be easier to figure things out then!
It sounds so exciting that you get to travel so much with work! But as someone who has lived in different countries and continents, I can understand how different life can be. So staying where it feels like home to you is the most important always! Hopefully, you are back traveling soon again! ❤️
Thank you so much dear! I hope so too ❤
I really love your vibe and your voice ❤ Great video
Thank you so much! You're so kind ❤️ Thank you so much for watching.
to me what make a person a model mean they have a unique/unconventional beauty😊 and i have that look but am only 5’5 lol
I've recently started "petite modeling" series where I'm sharing everything about becoming a model if you're not tall or don't meet some of the industry standards. The first video is already available here ua-cam.com/video/iOu9ygTR5aQ/v-deo.html I'm explaining the difference between petite modeling and regular modeling and the next one will be about becoming a petite model (step by step guide )and will be published tomorrow, so check it out if you're interested :)
Of course it's really hard to work as a petite model and even more competitive, but it's still possible if you know where to start and what to do exactly...
@@TatianaKurnosova yeah ill check that out thx
You are a complete model 🤩
What about blemishes/acne? Does that matter when it comes to editorial modeling, even with photo editing?
Hello Olivia, yes, it actually matters - you need to treat your acne scars if possible.
But you can still apply to the modeling agencies. If they'll love your look, they will also help you with advices and everything. + everything really depends on the market. In local / small modeling markets the requirements aren't that strict. But when it comes to professional modeling, it's harder because the industry is extremely competitive.
I recommend you to watch my other video "Modeling with Tattoos Braces Scars Piercings | Can you still become a model? Pros and cons" here ua-cam.com/video/anLQ6bTGPZ4/v-deo.html I think it will get you an idea of how everything works.
Anyways, I know many models who have been healing skin and signed a contract with modeling agency. So, if you're interested in modeling, please try it out and contact several agencies too.
Good luck!
1. The model of the in-between shots is like the human version of a ghost. So captivating
2. Thoughts on face birthmarks?
Edit: and by birthmarks I mean freckle-like dark spots
Both birth marks ( by the way they are often called beauty marks ) and freckles both show the unique beauty of the model and make the look more captivating in my opinion :)
Such details can also become a trade mark. The brigtest example is Cindy Crawford. Gigi Hadid also has many beauty marks on her face, I think she looks incredible! Erin Wasson, Kendra Spears and many others have them and are quite successful in modeling.
What about women? Not for me personally but someone I know who already has gained a lot of experience in front of the camera in terms of the total package and preperation speaking ability and posing and she hás a charasmatic personality and she hás sincerly best face. 💯 Is it too late to join an agency between the ages of 20-30?
Hello, yes, it's still possible to start a modeling career in the middle 20s (and older of course), but it will be more difficult and will be a bit different from how it would have worked for very young girls.
The hard truth is that the agencies are mostly looking for either very young models or mature models and getting into modeling without the portfolio in your 20s or 30s is hard... But it is not impossible. With the certain efforts you can become really succefful and earn good money.
But usually in such cases you'll have to start with freelance work (mostly in local fashion markets), building your portfolio and then (only if it's benefitial for you of course) find a boutique modeling agency / an agent.
In my latest video about petite modeling I've explained how you can start modeling if you don't fit into some of the industry standards (I mostly talk about petite models, but actually it can be applied to everyone - when it comes to age or anything else), so feel free to check out this video as well ua-cam.com/video/ySKICZ1vIyg/v-deo.html
And here's a video about the types of jobs for petite models (again, it's not only about petite modeling, but about every case that isn't so typical) ua-cam.com/video/wfSXFtoP8wc/v-deo.html I think it may be helful for your friend.
Other than that, I just suggest her to take digitals (I've explained everything about it in this video ua-cam.com/video/rlv0r96mfkY/v-deo.html ) and then keep on going forward and one way or another it is possible to work at any age. Your friend just needs to find her market, her "niche", her clients...
I hope it'll help.
@@TatianaKurnosova Hello, that might be great! Thank you so much!! If she Just turned 24. Could she still become a fashion model too, and join an agency? I know, someone else who Might want to be a fashion model and she just turned 19, and is it too late to join an agency too?
@@MariaLuisa-oj7dz It's not too late to start a career at 19 and 24 might be OK too, but I can't tell you for sure on 100%.
Everything depends on their look, measurements, features and modeling market (the location) as well.
My advice is to try and see what the agencies in your area will say.
Good luck!
Is petite girl can do fashion modeling?
Hi Tiara, yes. And I've recently started "petite modeling" video series where I'm sharing everything about it.
First 2 videos are already available on my channel:
The basics: differences between petite and regular modeling ua-cam.com/video/iOu9ygTR5aQ/v-deo.html
How to become a model if you're not tall: step by step guide ua-cam.com/video/ySKICZ1vIyg/v-deo.html
Hope it'll help and good luck! :)
Can I just say that you are so beautiful. And those videos are just super helpful. I always get looks from strangers and some are telling me I should model. I have a body shape like Bella and she said that her agency told her to lose weight. I'm curious if I should try it
OMG, you're the sweetest person, thank you so much!💜
If you have a body like Bella, then you must be just flawless! At the same time each person's case is different, so you can't tell for sure if you need to change smth about your measurements or not based on "someone said smth about Bella's body"... Please don't be so focused on something you've heard in the past. And as far as I know Bella's body been changing quite a lot... She's easily gaining / losing weight back and forth, so she can't be a good example in this case, although I really really love her as a model.
I recommend you to take your digitals (I've explained how to do it here ua-cam.com/video/rlv0r96mfkY/v-deo.html ) and contact modeling agencies. You'll never know if it's really for you or not, if you won't try. And if you have the doubts - again, just try it and if you'll feel it's not what you really want, you can always quit or do modeling as a hobby.
Wishing you best of luck whatever you'll decide... :)
I’m a male and I really want to become a model, but I’m about 177cm. Could I still model in fashion with that hight?
Hello and thank you for watching my videos :)
First of all, please watch this video about modeling industry standards ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html where I explain everything in details (what you need to work as a model).
Usually the perfect height for male models starts from 185 cm, but it doesn't mean that there are absolutely zero chances to try modeling. It can be either a hobby or freelance modeling and everything depends on your look, your features. I have a series of videos about petite modeling and I recommend you to watch them too. I mostly talk about girls, but it works the same for the guys too, so I'm sure it will be helpful:
1. Petite modeling | how to become a model if you're not tall | Agency application & freelance work ua-cam.com/video/ySKICZ1vIyg/v-deo.html
2. Petite modeling vs Regular modeling | Are petite models successful in fashion industry? ua-cam.com/video/iOu9ygTR5aQ/v-deo.html
3. Petite modeling jobs | Runway, catalogues, beauty shoots? What can petite model expect? ua-cam.com/video/wfSXFtoP8wc/v-deo.html
Wishing you best of luck! 💜
@@TatianaKurnosova thank you so much for the info!
It sounds hard but in a nutshell you have a beautifull face then you can be a model and no in the other case. And body doesn't matter cause the industry is "inclusive" for all body types so you don't have to work that hard 4 it. Period.
No, actually it's not that easy.
As I've mentioned in this video models don't have to be exactly beautiful ( in the way most people see the beauty, being pretty etc ), it's more important being "eye catchy", interesting... rather than "perfectly beautiful". And beauty is a very subjective term as well...
Body ( measurements, height etc ) does matter as well. If you fit into the industry standards ( I've explained them in this video ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html ). Yes, the industry is changing, but these changes are slow abd almost not noticeable in some parts of the world.
So, if talking about professional career, becoming a top model - you need to both fit into the industry standards and have a face that will be good for modeling too.
If you would like to work in local fashion markets or, for example, in US only, then you can have slightly bigger / different measurements or even try plus size modeling, find your own niche... It is possible these days, but your path towards stable and successful work will be longer comparing to "regular" models who fit into the industry standards.
I hope you've got the idea. It's quite hard to explain, but now we both have the strict requirements in the industry and more opportunities. It is good, but not equal I would say...
i am malaysia,i thing i have odd beauty .big eye,full eyebrow,high cheeckbone,sharp and chiseled jaw ,shape lip and i have super small nose ,not wide but low nose bridge.will they take me? i am not confident with my nose :(
Hello Anne, it seems like you look absolutely amazing!💚We tend to over - criticize ourselves when it comes to our looks and sometimes we see things worse than they really are. Most of the times no one notices what we notices about ourselves.
So, if you're really interested in modeling and you fit into the industry standards (not only the face, but the measurements and etc, I've talked about it here ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html and here are the video series about petite modeling in case you're not tall ua-cam.com/play/PL2n0G6Jp9TLYUC9SaQJ4X7o6H3xiemFLB.html ), then please apply to modeling agencies and ask for their feedback. I'm sure everything will be OK, please don't be scared! :)

I got rejected thrice because my legs are covered with psoriasis😔I love ur videos so much🖤
Thank you for the kind words Luna 🌸🙏 And I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. How bad is it? I know psoriasis is treatable but some cases are severe, I get it. Anyways, if you're really interested in modeling, please don't give up. Try contacting some other agencies or maybe working freelance. The industry is slowly changing and more and more brands try to embrace natural beauty ( which also celebrates our imperfections as special and beautiful in its own way ) opening more opportunities.
Anyways, don't be sad, sending you hugs and positive vibes 🌸🤗💕
Modeling isn't everything believe me, there are so many amazing things to try ~
@@TatianaKurnosova I'm currently taking medications for it and it isn't that severe when comparing to others. Just a few red patches here and there on the calf and ankles. And thank u too for ur kind words🥰💛 It means alot to me🥺 Have a nice day💐
@@Luna-zb9tf Good to hear it! Stay healthy and happy 💙
So is it too late for guys to join an agency between the ages of 20-30?
No, it's not too late. Male models usually start their career later than girls and work longer ( most of the times ).
So, go for it and wishing you best of luck.
where are you from?
I was born in Russia :)
Helloo tnks for your video 💕 ppl often ask me if I’m a model but idk if I fit in and I believe that I’m too curvy😅 I would really appreciate your personal opinion height 5’6 (167cm) weight 123 (56kg) 30- 23-35(77-60-90cm) I know how to dress my self but don’t think that I look like a model 😂
Hello Ynra, thank you so much for watching my videos 💚
I'm sure you look absolutely gorgeous! Yes, it seems like you have quite a curvy body, but your measurements are great. The only problem is the height, you're not that tall for "regular" modeling. I have a video explaining everything about modeling industry standards here ua-cam.com/video/uYD5QD-iXeY/v-deo.html
So, if you'll decide to try working as a model, I recommend you freelance first or finding a boutique modeling agency.

What types of guys can become models?
It works the same as with girls. I’ve explained everything about types of looks in modelling in this video ua-cam.com/video/4yDjfBjOP94/v-deo.html
You need to fit into the industry standards + have the look. It can be commercial look, baby - face, strange beauty, classic + combinations of these looks.
Hadids and Kardashian's are born with those features
Umm can a tan skin girl get job as model in Asia
Yes, but you need to look exceptional. Unfortunately Asian markets aren't that open to diversity yet if talking about modeling contracts.
Another situation would be if you'd already had a visa and were living there - it makes things easier and gives more opportunities. But in any other cases modeling agencies aren't that ready to invite dark skinned models to their markets yet.
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS
I‘M UGLY
Please don't say this! I'm sure you are beautiful in your own way🌹
And modeling isn't about the beauty, it's more about being interesting and having something that will captivate the viewer...
That Samsung finna explode lmao
i love the vibe and how you put together this video i love your take on the idea of modeling
Thank you so much Becca! 💕
Educating yourself by swallowing as much of the pre-existing not that clear standards to your subconscious instead of clearly stating them, doesn't that just keep the standards going without taking a moment to analyse ?
As the industry claims to become more diverse, if you just keep thinking there should be a "model like face" based on subtle "intuitions" that really aren't, doesn't that just keep the same standards ? I am just thinking out loud but
