I’m a Model Scout | Behind the Seams ★ Glam.com 

Yeah this woman has a good eye for models.

Vs is catalog modeling.. What's the hype?

@@chrislovitt46 They are still memorable faces!

@@chrislovitt46 So? It’s an iconic brand and big supermodels of the 90s modelled for them.

its so true the people that scout talent and pick and choose who they think is attractive are the most unsightly people its very ironic

Oh god.. How does a nice, polite lady look DODGY? But no, if you're impying that model scouts do not look like models that's because they aren't -_- It's not their job to be beautiful or skinny or anything, that's the models' job.

Eva B. No, it’s just they make interesting choices. Like, out of all the pretty people you choose HER?? Ya know, that’s all (non-offensive)

What is dodgy mean?

@@evab.6240 nah I’m saying she looks dodgy

Ela what video was that

The industry is darker than that

Take a shot.. who knows? ?

which bridge ? 😅

You are in one of the biggest fashion capitals in the world, take that chance💕

then do it

It's not all it's cracked up to be. I mean, aside from the constant scrutiny on your looks, the pressure to be underweight and maintain it, and the sexual harassment, there is a lot of financial exploitation that occurs. Getting signed is no guarantee of work; they set models up in these shared apartments that are like 2 bedrooms and 6 or 7 girls, and take it out of your paycheck; when you get booked overseas your travel and accommodation expenses also have to be reimbursed to your agency; sometimes you get paid in clothes and accessories rather than cash. Unless you make it to the top of the heap, you don't really make that much money. It isn't unusual for rookie models to be living below the poverty line making $10,000 a year. I've heard some models say that they actually end up OWING their agencies money rather than turning a profit. During fashion shows models have to get up really early in the morning but are required to stay really late at night with very few meal and rest breaks. And for the most part, by the time you reach 26 you're considered "too old" for the industry. If you gain weight or your appearance changes, you get dropped, and there's little concern shown to models who show signs of drug use and eating disorders.

Send a pick

@@moonlily1 if you get signed to a good agency that won't be the case-

@@ayesha6498 A "good" agency like who, as opposed to what other agency? Stories from models are pretty consistent.

Jon was a pedophile. Do you know his history?

People choose to be models, no one is forcing them.

...I said that?

Catie K ... no you didn't?

I said they let teenagers make major career decisions. Of course a 17 year old is going to want to be a model.

+Catie K Not every 17 year old wants to model. At 17 you are old enough to decide with your parents help whether that industry is right for you or not. You're making it out to be absolutely horrible but if they hate it that much they can just leave. It's not that big of a deal.

true!

yeah.... it’s the point...

lol same

Nalaumma 19 Same but twice. Same happened with my childhood bestfriend, but I would never model it all seems fake. I rather live the simple life ☺.

Same 3 times

Nalaumma 19 I’d cut ties with them forever lol

omg me too 😭😭😭

kat suarez you don't have to be there are different types of modeling

You forgot most models agencies you have to 30, and younger ,and white. There is some minority models and older models but on the whole they fit the categories I stated above.

Julia Anderson most of the people that

Get into the industry know they are going to be prodded you're a hanger for these clothes the clothes are wearing you, not the other way around. Also it is horribly that some people allow themselves to stop eating and be treated with no respect.

Julia Anderson no they dont skip meals its called working out and being healthy you probably skip meals cuz your fat and you want to be a model

They're not good people. ABC did a segment on them and what they really do and it's kind of horrible.

Julia Anderson I’m never skipping a damn meal in my life lol

How's it going now? Have you been accepted into an agency? Just curious...

The girls are mostly white because they scout in the Midwest....

Good luck with finding an agency 🙂. I'm dark skinned and a few months ago I got scouted :)

do you own a niche meme account?

Did u get an agency are u modeling now

+lnejavi It gives a person a more youthful appearance generally.

I love that look. I think it just makes them seem more unique but idk

lnejavi it can look more alien like

Yeah anything a little weird or off about a model is not necessarily because they're pretty but because it stands out. If you find a flaw in someone's face you're most likely to stare at them more and thus you look them up and down more and then 'wolla' you're intrigued by the clothes and not the model anymore and you've sold you're product if you're a designer. That's why some gap teeth, thick brows, and set apart eyes helps as long as the person is still kind of attractive.

San Junipero Symmetry

Amy Silverman woah I actually didn't know that you had to pay the agency for pictures. I thought they just got commission from your jobs.

It’s like trying to get an agent to be an actor. They’ll tell you you need new head shots and the photographer they send you will get money from you and then give some of the money to the agent so they give it other kickbacks..

Girl give me her email I need an agent. Know anyone in maimi southbeach area?

im 14 5'6 and 99 pounds, do u think i have a chance?

Mode I don't know how to start

Mode love to be

maybe ask or write to an agency via Email. I think they also need people as you need agencies. so just give it a try one never knows :)

Julie Zaborowski No

Intern... work ur way up.

HAHAHHA, model*

Dear Future Me definitely!!! I’m 5’3 and I’m 17.. so my lucks gone

Well first you need to find a mother agency who can get you connected to different jobs. But before doing that you need to meet height requirements and such. I would recommend looking into it if your really interested :)

+Toga Emrich Im 5"11 so I probably couldn't haha.

+descentoflight no 5'11 is an amazing height. I wish I could be that tall lol. I'm only 5'7 and I'm 15. I've only had a few basic shots for my portfolio, but I have to wait until I'm sixteen. But your height def qualifies you! If you want to look into it! You could go to mother agencies in your area were I live we don't have many agencies but another option includes sending in photos to agencies like Wilhelmina. You could always look up agencies in your area or just popular agencies looking for models :)

+Toga Emrich Huh, I didnt know that. I haven't had any shots of myself professionally done. I live in a small town in North Carolina too. I know I would love to walk runways around the world. Im just young, broke & fierce & wanna walk the runways. Im for sure gonna do some research!

@@descentoflight hey it’s been 4 years. I wonder if you’ve become a model yet?

you are beautiful too,How is your town in Winter ?..I am Bobi from remote forest in North of Iran and here is very silent with heavy fog so I wish to talk to some foreigners

maybe in this video. the high end magazines we have at work have more ethnic models in them.

That's because she's a scout who works in the Midwest

Maybe Instagram and RU-vid. Lots of RU-vidrs get sponsored to represent companies, not as runway models, but being the face of the brand. You are able to express yourself freely through these platforms. I feel like official modelling agencies are very restrictive, you just wait around for them to find you a job by sending your profile around. While with Instagram or RU-vid, you can make videos, talk about yourself, express yourself and the opportunities are endless. You are more heard if you can build your audience.

And then once you are hi, you will have management companies approach you to help you grow even more.

get experience. find someone you know to be a photographer and practice posing. don't trade with some scummy "photographer" online because they are just a creepy guy with a camera after your nudes. also don't pay a ton for photos. just get a friend who can take decent photos. modeling is like acting on still photos. you need a range of expressions, poses, interact with environment, make it believable but also sell the product you are wearing/visiting. you need confidence. you also need to know your face well, best angles, etc. dance can help with body control, acting can help with expressions, a mirror will help with angles. in the end most models are nobodies clothes hangers, be careful what you wish for, as it is exciting, but short lived career for many. also have your morals and stand ground, people will pressure you all around. lastly, you will face rejection, don't take it personally.

annie b you are a goddess

@@annieb2567 u are a great help b'c i wanted to know this too thx

samantha betancourt same age and height but I think my nose is big we should talk more

Do you have an Instagram??

im 14 and 5'6 we should try together

commercial, petite modeling etc

I’m 5’6 too & its my dream as well

Still interested?

+Jazmin mall scouts are normally scams

yeah they are

Brianna Lui Try wearing high heels or boots with small heels! Not only do they make you look taller while you where them, but they can help your balance and posture! Good posture can add an inch or two to your height compared to slouching. Do a lot of stretching exercises like yoga, dance, or Pilates. If you still don't think your tall enough, don't worry! You don't have to be tall to be a model! There is petite modeling, which is very competitive but still an option! And there are huge models who have made it in the industry like Kate Moss even though they're considered short. The thing is to not take no for an answer. Cara Delevingne was rejected as a model for Marc Jacobs because they said she was too short! Now she's one of the highest paid models of 2017! Don't focus too much on your height, love! You'll get there if you really try!

you can do stretching , it might make you grow inch in one month or two
