height requirements
Does someone at a height of 5 10" have little to no hope of being signed with a top modeling agency? Or can something else change that like being an identical twin? I want to know  Thanks message me cause these are hard to keep track of Austen + Tyler Jun 13 06 12:41 pm Link Twins has little to do with it. You need to go to agencies and see what they say. You can search the forum for height threads but thats mostly opinion. The people whos opinion matters are the ones who will sign you and get you the work. Jun 13 06 12:43 pm Link This may be off subject but you gentlemen are only 16. I'm sure you will continue to grow in height. I do not pretend to know anything about agencies but I think they may consider your age/height. Just my thoughts.

Jun 13 06 01:19 pm Link ok thanks, is there anything I can do now to make sure I grow at least my 2 iches (a little less) I am about 5 10 and 1/3 inches... I looked at some websites and they all sell pills but they are all scams. Does anyone know anything about growth so I can make sure I get the most out of my growing. It says the average male stops growing at age 20... so I hope I can grow 1.6 inches within at least two years. I wanted to sign with an agency after my professional pictures getting taken comming up by a sum of people, but our height I have heard is going to weigh us down. Any advice? Jun 13 06 05:45 pm Link Genetics determine height. There is no "magic pill" or "secret way" to increase it......naturally. Otherwise everyone here would be a few inches taller. Jun 13 06 05:48 pm Link i'm sure you'll do it naturally...you don't want to take any hormones or anything like that. besides, i've seen men on comercial agency sites who were 5'10 and 5'11...so maybe, as TX pointed out, you shouldn't panic.

THere is some site I went to that says they have these insoles you put in your shoes that stimulate your growth hormone, and some pill called MFIII which can make you grow 2-6 inches taller. I just want basic fact such as sleeping patterns, posture, eating habits, ect. to follow so I can make sure I grow to my fullest. What can I do right now to make the most money and get the best experience right now? I already have several shoots sceduled in the Detroit area, but I kind of would like to be with an agency so I am getting as much exposure as necessary, along with my brother. Is there a site that I could go to in the future that would give me a list of decent agencies in the Detroit area that I could submit professional pictures to and be part of for now? Or in any other area? thanks for all of your advice everyone Jun 13 06 07:38 pm Link I give up. Every single piece of advice I have given you has been ignored. It's clear you are going to do whatever you set out to do before you ever made a post on the forum, so good luck to you. Jun 13 06 07:43 pm Link TXPhotog wrote: Very good advice, especially #3. Jun 13 06 07:47 pm Link oh I'm sorry if this is offending to you, no we did read your information and know that it is best to not worry about it and finish school and all that before entering an agency, but if there are little things normal people can do besides "scam" pills and what not, I would like to know. I do not see any harm in that. Yes we did read your information and found it valuable, we would just like more people's advice from different points of view along with their advice about all this.

I have seen far too many young boys (that's what you are) and girls do stupid things to their health while obsessing about a problem that they don't even have and, as in your case, couldn't do anything about if they had it. Jun 13 06 08:02 pm Link ok, I will just wait until I am 18 or whatever and not worry about it until then, and I'll get a doctor's advice instead of random internet people's advice... but I hear from everyone that one should go to professional photographers in the area or whatever and have them take some pictures of you before one decides to enter into a modeling agency. Not to say I would at my age because that would be "bad" I would never do anything that would hurt me to get taller. The only reason I entertained that idea was because IF there was a chance at it, I would like to take it BUT there isn't I am now aware of so thats fine, I am done talking about. I apologize for getting you upset and can understand your frustration, I just want to do what will be best in order to stay on track. Before I do anything, I need some experience in front of a camera, along with my brother. I looked at the newmodels.com website and found it quite helpful. I really do not need any further advice, but if anyone has something they could tell me and my brother that could help us out let us know.

He was right because I haven't gotten any taller and nothing has changed (i.e shoe size, arm & leg length, height- you know-things that determine genetic growth).

Jun 14 06 10:50 am Link I hope not  Oh well if thats the way it is, oh well I guess there isn't anything that can change it. We will see...My one grandpa was 6 4" or something like that and all my uncles arte above 6 0 "...but my Dad is 5 6" and his dad is 5 8" ....and then my grandmas dad was above 6 ft. Basically my moms family is all tall, but my dad's is mostly short. idk we will seeJun 14 06 10:51 am Link Austen Parker wrote: Who is the "everyone" you hear this from? Are they themselves professionals in the industry, or just passing on bad information that they got from someone else? Jun 14 06 11:10 am Link Well I would figure they are professional when they say they are and have been doing it for many years. I know they can be lying but I have got references from other models about them so I figure they all are not out there to lie Anyways, I'll ask agencies in Detroit what they are looking for so I can request photographers I will be working with to take pictures of that certain type of picture I need. I have to go out and eat dinner now because school just got out today and my friends and I are going to go eat somewhere. I'll be on this later thank you everyone for all your imput, I honestly have learned a bit today Jun 14 06 11:28 am Link |
