Seriously considering taking a crack at modeling...

[natelav129]

Any NT homies out there in the industry?

On my humble tip, I have had several non biased parties encourage me giving it a try, just never thought much of it

Either way, I know we definately have some fashion forward members out there so just wandering if anyone has had any past experience....
If so, what was your approach, how discovered, length of experience, what's it like, etc...

How are you gonna post a thread about being a model and not post pictures?

 

[persiafly]

Are you 6'1", 170, with a 30" waist and angular facial features?

If someone is telling you that you should be a model that is indirectly telling you something else as well.

I was also encouraged to model so im doing a couple fashion shows on campus this semester

I dont see myself having a future in it though. The male modeling industry is kind of non-heterosexual. Meeting the females is pretty nice.

Edit: but as you can see i live in Atlanta so our experiences may vary

Considering Nters can be ruthless I thought I'd be cautious

But, whatever....







My passport photo ^^

Just picked some randoms...

I'm 6'2, about 165 - 170 lbs
Don't consider myself the most breathtaking dude around, but I guess I could pass for the commercial look

You do have a commercial look which is good for a black male model, cause they rarely get run ways.
You do have the look but they are going to tell you to lose weight.

Age?

Lost weight, really??

And I'm 21 btw which, surprisingly,  I know is  pushing the limit for newcomers I believe...

 

[veintisiete]

[thejrob]

I have no valuable opinion...

...but I do know this could get ugly now that you posted your picture

 

[cap1229]

I could see modeling for you. What does your smile look like?

I should have said muscle.
Depends on how commercial you want to stay, you want to go where the money is, yeah they are going to tell you to lose weight/muscle.
21 not bad for a male

Id prefer you to go commercial, its "safer" 

 

[persiafly]

Not bad, based on pics and measurements you're in the vicinity. It's not ridiculous for you to pursue something like this, at the least.

I threw out those measurements because almost every model I see on every site that lists measurements is 6'1", 170, with a 30 inch waist.

If there was ever a thread that was worthless without pics...

Side note: Don't set yourself up...

 

[mycoldyourdone]

looks like you can only do american apparel

 

[ksteezy]

You look like dude from tropic thunder
