Potential?
So yesterday I saw my 'little' cousin Virginia, for the first time in a few months. I walk up to say hi to her and i'm looking straight into her eyes. She is only 14 and my height....5'7. Her brother (who is 17) is 6'4, kind of makes me think that since she's already so tall that she's going to grow atlest another 3-5 inches. Not to mention shes all legs and very very slim. so give me your opinnions before I get this girls hopes up....shes too the right of me in the pic....and don't mind how crappy I look with no makeup on.  How hard do you think it would be to get some one to test with a 14 year old? Dec 04 06 06:07 pm Link Why would you need to test? Just have her mom take her to the local agencies' open calls.

Dec 04 06 06:13 pm Link if she is truly interested, have her and mom read www.newmodels.com that should give a solid foundation for asking the right questions to the agencies in your area: http://www.switchboard.com/Modeling_Age … sults.html --face reality Dec 04 06 06:23 pm Link She's cute. Dec 05 06 12:16 am Link i didn't grow after i was 12 ...... except from yoga / posture i wouldnt suggest it all the same let her grow up inside develop herself and choose her own way based on her interersts and her talents with as much realism as possible to begin with Dec 05 06 12:23 am Link She KINDA reminds me of KATE MOSS. I did say KINDA though. It could just be the picture. Dec 05 06 02:46 am Link Anjel Britt wrote: she know what she likes. Dec 05 06 12:07 pm Link Cristina Ashley wrote: so drive. Dec 05 06 12:45 pm Link She's 14 and still growing. Most agencies would like for her to be around 16-18, although there are the few lucky ones. Is her mother or father involved? How badly does she want to model? I agree with Face Reality, go to models.com, they have discussions in their forums with actual big agencies. You can learn a lot from reading on their site. Take a day trip to NYC for open calls, they will take poloroids right there. She does not need a book. Dec 05 06 12:55 pm Link She's definitely pretty enough for the job. Obviously, I don't know about her attitude or maturity. Go with her to a photographer whom you know and who shoots fashion or catalog. See how she likes being in front of a camera and how she follows direction. All things being well, then help her get in touch with an agency (surely Bufalo has some reputable ones) and go from there. If you are ever headed toward New England, buzz me that you will be around and I will happily shoot with her. I love working with young models, as you can see from my book. Dec 05 06 01:06 pm Link Like Josie and Face Reality said, go to an agency and read http://www.newmodels.com/, only if this is for her. If she really wants it, and if she really thinks this is where she wants to go. If she wants to do something serious, get off the internet and hit the open-calls. They are already within NYC, which means heck a lot closer than the rest of America to the top agencies. No excuse, just go. Dec 05 06 01:44 pm Link |
