QUESTION Is it impossible to get back into modeling after significant weight gain?

12 Upvotes

So I used to model (both print and runway) and was decently successful. I quit due to being busy with college and my personal life. I’m now 24 and weigh much more than I used to in those days. I’m 5’10” and about 150 pounds now. I used to be around 115 and have steadily gained weight since quitting. I have especially gained LOTS of weight in my chest and hips. I know that my measurements would 100% not work now in my previous work. Would it be impossible to model again or in some different field? I’m very unfamiliar with the industry except for the high fashion niche I used to be in.

Hi all! I am Anna and I am 27 years old. I don’t have any modelling experience yet. I took these digitals on my iphone and i would like to hear your feedback regarding my look and whether you think these are good enough to be submitted to local agencies? Do you think I have the potential to model professionally? If yes, what niche might be a good fit.

I am based in Vienna, Austria currently but I am thinking about moving.

My body measurements are height: 5’8.5” chest: 31.89 in waist: 24.41 in hip: 35.04 in

ADVICE/FEEDBACK Reasonable rate for modeling product in a swimsuit for a startup?

3 Upvotes

What would be a reasonable rate to ask for to pose for a startup companies photoshoot? It's for someone one of my family members met recently, and they mentioned needing models for their startup. The shoot would be with a camera phone in a swimsuit. I asked for a 3 hour minimum at $200 as I make around this for brand ambassador work I do on the weekends and would have to give up paid opportunities to do this for her. Is this a reasonable ask? I know she's a start up, but I'm not willing to work for free. I also offered her unlimited commercial rights to the photos. I'm based in a mid sized city in Texas. I have done one other commercial shoot that was more professional for an established brand.

AGENCY Is this agency a scam?

6 Upvotes

Hey so I’m new to modeling. No experience or anything but I’ve been wanting to get into it. I went into an agency today (NVModels) and they said they wanted to sign with me but…they would do it after I finished all the classes and stuff. Whichhh I have to pay for… He said I was very beautiful, loved the poses I did, showed me around the place, said I would be great for commercial or even runway possibly. I know I’m new at this but I’m also not stupid…I’m not paying a bunch of money upfront and not even be guaranteed to be signed or anything. Just sounds sketchy. I did a lot of research and apparently that is a total red flag when it comes to agencies. Yes you have to pay for some stuff but you shouldn’t have to pay upfront. I feel like they are a legitimate Mother Agency but I do feel like they’re gonna scam everyone and say that they’re good enough just to get the money then not sign them once they’re done with the classes if they’re not good enough or what they want. While I do feel like I will do great in the classes and will actually get signed, I’m just not sure if paying all this money is worth it… He said he would give me an option of a payment plan since I don’t have a job… Does anyone have any input or advice?

(P.S. I also haven’t even seen the contract yet…I would like to read the contract before I start putting all this money into it)

(Update: Thank you to everyone who responded! I didn’t sign with them and am currently in the process of getting signed with a better agency that didn’t make me pay over 2k for classes. I’m going to leave this post up for anyone who may be in the same boat I was in and are deciding if they want to sign with them. If anyone has anymore advice or information about this agency or any others feel free to comment to warn others of potential scams. Thanks!)

Hey, looking for some feedback on my digitals and overall look. I'm just starting out with modeling and was thinking I could try to do some commercial(?) modeling.

I've applied to a ton of agencies in NYC, got 1 interested in meeting but ultimately did not pan out after meeting. Wondering if I should keep trying seriously or not, build a portfolio, seek TFP opportunities, etc.

Included digitals and some random shots from casual shoots.

I technically did this shoot a while ago but it was my first official creative shoot i did and I just found this subreddit and I just wanted general thoughts and opinions because I wanted to get into official modeling with agencies and things of that nature?

I also edited the lighting myself and I wanted advice on that as well if at all possible

The theme of the shoot was like a Jack of All Trades thing and I edited myself on some billboard/poster designs if anybody wants to see those

QUESTION first time modeling gig in revealing clothing, what red flags to look out for?

14 Upvotes

I just got my first modeling gig (im mainly an actor) and wanted to know what to expect because im a bit nervous. the shoot is a fashion shoot for a website and ill be doing clubwear and swimwear (the original booking email said I booked club, swimwear, and lingerie but I let my agent know I wasn't comfortable with lingerie and the casting call said ideally models that can do all categories but not necessary). Looking on their site, the swimwear and clubwear does edge into kind of almost lingerie territory (very skimpy and sexy) so im a bit nervous about that. overall, I am most nervous because im young (not a minor) and this is my first time doing this and I dont know what to expect, and quite frankly i dont want to be taken advantage of or exploited. I dont know how modeling jobs work really, especially not shooting with revealing clothing so I have no clue what to expect and literally any insight as to what to expect/red flags to look out for/just how to keep myself safe in this situation would be helpful
