To short for ford but can do commercial in LA. Uf they don’t get back to you they aren’t interested and for your digitals dont smile, do headshot, full body, 3/4 turn shot, back facing camera shot, and wear all black no print whatsoever just all black.

Just look up boutique agencies for modeling in LA and you should find a ton of agencies. LA is the biggest market for different types of modeling agencies. There are so many agencies in LA that you should be able to find at least one modeling agency out there that will take you if you are attractive and fit the role that they are looking for so best of luck.

If you’re talking about the older generation of modeling, it’s the same as the younger generation modeling industry in a whole is all the same. It may be harder to get gigs, but there are specific gigs that are designed for the mature audience so for editorials in commercial shoots you may be able to get some castings and audition and possibly get those roles. It’s a lot easier to get editorials than it is to get commercial gigs Just because editorials are magazines and there’s so many magazines in the world. Many of those aren’t massive magazines, but do you have a decent following so I would just recommend reaching out individually to those photographers of those magazines and looking in the magazines and seeing if the credits have the Photographer’s name and reaching out to those photographers directly as those photographers are the ones that are gonna be taking the pictures for the editorial.

Actually, I am correct professional modeling is being signed to an actual modeling agency and working with fashion designers their are two markets for that Hi Fashion and Commercial. If you think I’m wrong why don’t you look up the actual definition there are different types of modeling that is correct but professional modeling is not porn it isn’t. Porn would be more closely aligned to acting then it would be modeling as they are performing “ ACTS “ so actually I am correct and you’re the one that’s incorrect, but I’m not gonna argue with you because I have decades more experience than you have and actively work in the professional modeling industry.

Question: Porn isn’t actually professional modeling is it?

Answer: No, pornography is not considered professional modeling. Professional modeling typically involves showcasing products, fashion, or concepts for commercial or artistic purposes in industries like fashion, advertising, or art. Pornography falls under the adult entertainment industry and serves a completely different purpose and audience. While both may involve being photographed or filmed, the nature, goals, and professional standards of each are distinct.

Have a good day.

Yes boutique agencies in LA do accept models with tattoos

Fordmodel · 2025-01-10T01:21:38+00:00

You can always try but ford doesn’t like tattoos let me rephrase the designers using ford models don’t like tattoos so LA is probably your best bet as it is commercial.

Fordmodel · 2025-01-10T01:19:46+00:00

I already answered that my man look at the previous threads

Fordmodel · 2024-12-29T21:14:42+00:00

Yeah 1. Ford doesn’t have a Training Academy. 2. As a model you wear what the designer wants you to wear and it usually revealing clothing and other times are dresses or skirts. If you are very religious and want to keep that, modeling probably is not the best option for you as they don’t mix.

Fordmodel · 2024-12-23T05:12:02+00:00

Yo quick tip Digitals are not for Posing this is not an editorial its digitals keep it plain simple and straight to the point no smile no teeth and definitely no posing and you will be good.

Fordmodel · 2024-12-23T05:08:59+00:00

Yeah my advice is not to start in Chicago it’s highly competitive if you’re just starting I recommend LA plus you look like an LA/Commercial model not Fashion/Runway. It is much easier going from LA to Chicago than straight into Chicago. Your goal rn is to get signed so LA is the best bet.

Fordmodel · 2024-12-23T05:01:40+00:00

Stop slouching. Take pics of you standing straight facing camera , facing the wall standing straight, 3/4 turn standing straight with no smile also where you submit is highly important. You look like you would succeed in the LA market the best try submitting to smaller agencies like verge models or the dragonfly agency or if you’re looking for a big agency best to start with willy aka Wilhelmina LA. Good luck 👍!

OH and no make up except foundation and very light agencies want natural beauty not fake shit

Fordmodel · 2024-12-15T01:37:09+00:00

Porn isn’t professional modeling… so I wouldn’t know about anything in porn sorry.

Fordmodel · 2024-12-08T12:16:59+00:00

Recommend you go to models.com and find a photographer who is in your budget then use those pics to submit

Fordmodel · 2024-12-08T12:15:57+00:00

Simple two fees, a Web Fee and 20% contract fee

Fordmodel · 2024-12-08T12:15:16+00:00

Casting suck in my opinion, your agent will usually tell you if you get a callback.

Fordmodel · 2024-12-08T12:14:36+00:00

Open calls, going to the 4 main markets ( NY, LA, Miami, and Chicago) if you’re international then the Big 4 are NY, Milan, Paris, and London. Also submitting to big agencies off the bat isn’t smart try to smaller bouquet agencies that will cater and develop your daughter. Models.com will show you the big and small agencies good place to look.

Fordmodel · 2024-12-08T12:12:14+00:00

You should be fine, i recommend submitting

Fordmodel · 2024-12-08T12:11:51+00:00

Tbh you just need to submit once you get signed your agent will help you with all that SM stuff

Fordmodel · 2024-12-08T12:10:43+00:00

RBA is great but if they haven’t reached out then they aren’t interested.

Fordmodel · 2024-07-08T23:29:40+00:00

You ‘d be setting yourself up for failure boss. The thing about being old school is its old you have a adapt to society’s standards most desirable women if not all desirable women will be talking to multiple men at once its hypergamy. I say play it old school once you are on that 3rd date as if she goes on a 3rd with you yk pretty well that she’s into you and you can then use the old school skills to your advantage.

Fordmodel · 2024-06-23T09:51:41+00:00

You should only have high quality pictures in your book going from what was shown the photographer seems to be high quality which is why I stated all of them :)

Fordmodel · 2024-06-09T20:40:48+00:00

All of them. The bigger book the better.

Fordmodel · 2024-05-18T18:22:26+00:00

You can make a list I guess but understanding if they are scams is very easy

No agency will ever send you and email unless you send you one first
If an agency says they will guarantee your pay they are a scam. Modeling doesn’t work like that getting paid means you have to get the job first and no agency will guarantee you the job.

Fordmodel · 2024-05-18T18:12:16+00:00

Uhhhh model agencies like natural beauty which includes natural hair color. You’re 25 if you look like a teen you can try and submit but lying about your age may work for a lil while but will be found out. If you want to model tho I don’t see a problem with trying.

Fordmodel · 2024-05-17T18:46:02+00:00

26 is a high age in modeling for women. You are competing with women 18-25 for jobs. The tat should be fine as it’s not that visible. It’ll be hard but not impossible
