Maleficent - Goth Beauty
The most important bit of advice I can give is to not let other people’s opinion get to you, or influence what you want to do with your life, which can be easier said than done and takes time. One of the most difficult things about modelling is to not compare yourself to other models or beat yourself up for not looking like the other girls you see on Instagram. The truth is, is that there is not one type of “perfect model” and everyone is different. You don’t have to look a certain way in order to be successful and in fact being unique will do you a lot of favours. Also, don’t take it too personally if you don’t have the “right look” for a specific photographer or agency, whilst some do have preferences for a certain look, there will be people out there that like yours, its just a case of finding them and figuring out what type of modelling is right for you. I’ve been turned down by several agencies for being too short, and whilst it can get me down sometimes I have to remind myself that it doesn’t make me less of a model than taller girls, and as a result I’ve focused more on building my career as a freelance model, rather than trying to pursue agency work.
