    Is 20 too old to be starting off in modelling?

    :confused:

    It depends on what area it is you're talking about? - catwalk/fashion/commercial/glamour

    you've posted about this a few times before and also deleted/edited posts when people have disagreed with you on certain points. are you sure you should be posting her - can't you consult an agency or someone in the business? they'll give you your answer and will be better informed than your average boardsie.

    No it's not too late.

    You need to make a list of the agencies (Assets, Morgan and 1st Option being the top in Dublin, and probably Ireland?) , and then equip yourself with two decent quality photos.

    Photo one: Close up of head and shoulders - little or no make up - hair off face or behind shoulders - string top - taken on neutral background.
    Photo two: Full body shot - simple clothes like jeans and string top/fitted tee - barefoot or flat shoes - same with hair and make up as above - neutral background.

    Most agencies have an open day for what they call new faces, so bring along the pictures and dress well, to show off your body type and shape.

    You do NOT need to pay someone to take these pictures, the agency will know by looking at the pics and at you in person. You just need a digital camera and get them printed.

    Do NOT give any "agency" money for sign up/application/training. These are total scams.

    You might get a place on the 'commercial' section .

    Did I? A few times?
    Actually, I posted here once in regards to modelling.
    And I did agree with peoples points ? That's why I posted this question here. Maybe you should re-read the thread you linked ?
    And what does a past thread have to do with this question?

    I did not delete certain points of my arguement because of that.
    I deleted it because there was too much detail about the email which I received and was concious someone might recognise it or me.

    So, theres an explanation for you and anyone else.



    I will take into account contacting the agent who contacted me though.

    Thank you. Much appreciated! Didn't know about open days!:)

    Also meant to add, get accurate measurements of your height, waist, hips and bust.

    Check out each of the agencies I listed there and see their policies for new faces. Some have days to call in, others accept posted pics and info.
