It's about having the uniqueness, talent and drive to back up those looks. Here there are some tips that will hopefully teach you how to be a model.
Know the type of modeling you want to do
The first step in becoming a model knows what type of modeling you want to do. There are quite a few areas to choose from print focuses on magazine photo shoots while runway models walk the catwalk for labels. There are also more commercial options such as being a swimsuit or catalogue model. Plus size modeling has made an impact in the recent years too. No matter which area you choose, most female models start at the very minimum height of 5'7? but closer to 6'0? is preferred.

Now, that you have figured out what type of modeling you want to do, look for an agency that specializes in the field. You can search online for agencies quite easily. A simple "model agency" query will garner a lot of results. Search for an agency that's local to your area, and it's important to remember to research an agency first. Think: What models do they represent? What type of jobs do they book? Are there complaints online about this agency?
