What do you think makes someone “fit� to be a model? Of course, modeling has their standard requirements, physical wise, but in my opinion, you have to be pretty on the inside to be pretty on the outside. Your attitude reflects everything. How you work, How the people around you act, How you act, It affects everything. Nobody is going to enjoy working with a model who's hard to even converse with. Be kind, be happy, and be confident. Hang loose and have fun. Stop taking everything so seriously. What are your goals as a model? How do you see yourself progressing in this field? My goals as a model is to of course make it to the top (become a supermodel) but more than that, I want to inspire like I said in the first box above. I want to teach confidence and originality. I see myself progressing by finding something to do different to try and improve myself after every shoot and of course, practice practice practice. What do you know about the advertisement i n d u s t r y, a d v e r t i s i n g p s y c h o l o g y a n d photography? I've been studying on the industry. As a model, it's really important that you advertise and market yourself well. It's all about your image. My advice to aspiring models would be to look up information on self marketing and advertisement. Learn a little bit about photography as well. You never know when it could help you. How do you communicate with people? Are you patient? Are you friendly? How open are you to clients’ requirements? I obviously communicate in person, but most of my online networking for modeling is done on Facebook. I am involved in many modeling groups on there and it's a great place to just talk with other business professionals. I am very nice and outgoing. I like the person I'm working with to be 100% comfortable and have an experience they would like to have again. In the beginning of your modeling career, You don't have a choice as to how open your requirement are. It's best to try new things and go out of your comfort zone so that you can really understand what you enjoy and where your talent sits best at. I use to be really open to things but ever since things got more serious for me, I found where I fit in best at in the industry and thats high fashion print modeling. I mainly stick to just doing that now, but under circumstance, I will do a different project depending on the benefits.
