Take time building your portfolio and show it to a real busy modeling agency. There are professional photographers who can handle your portfolio ideas. Take some print classes before you send your copies to your agency of choice.
Sadly, the phrase super model doesn't really exist today. In the 90's, teenagers wanted to be a model more than anything in the world. Super models were idolized and they were known by name. Today, people can only name four or five models however they were already popular from appearing on reality television.
I was a super model fan of Tyra Banks and I brought a Sisters magazine and sent a letter to Tyra's fan club asking how to be a model? I waited for a response in the mail and she only kindly sent a signature-autograph-photo of herself. No letter was in there.
They were discovered while shopping at the mall
Discovery is a life changing experience several models have experienced. It just happened and the talent scout made it possible. These people never thought they could ever model. The unexpected just happened and they're wearing designer clothes at Paris Fashion Week.
Reality made Them Famous so is it Fair?
Can you count how many reality actors are modeling? I personally forgot, however a lot of former models daughters and sons are modeling. This is the easy way of saying your success depends on who you know. For the average person looking into modeling, this source of experience isn't fair. And if you meet these people after you made it, you'll be able to see what they're really like.
Focus on Your Goals
Don't allow inexperience stop you from modeling. Most models today, had some kind of unfair blockage in the way, and they didn't allow it to stop them. So make a list of professional agencies and have a plan on how you can work with the top agency in New York or California. If you are lucky, perhaps there's an agency in the community you live in.
Your Size and Shape
Today, there are jobs for all shapes and sizes. However, if you are concerned about your size the agent can help you understand your height and weight before jobs are filled. Don't abuse your body in order to stay thin. Please note there's a perfect diet for you to try.
Tyra Banks said there was a time in her modeling career when the designers complained about her size and her agent had to tell Tyra's mother that her size wasn't a good fit for the runway. When you grow, parts of the body can change, and there's no way to change it. Later, Tyra had a new success with Sports Illustrated and Victoria Secret.
Overcome These Stereotypes
You don't have to cut your hair short to model. Your height does matter, however Kate Moss was able to overcome being smaller than her peers. You don't have to starve and if you are looking into plus modeling you still have to take care of yourself. If you're camera shy, you can overcome this problem by practicing posing in the mirror.
Runway Perfection
Once you have bookings with every fashion week, you must perfect your runway style. In other words- you must own the runway. Top models admit they've had runway training and this is something you must perfect before your first booking with stylists.
