So, you’ve decided you want to give the model life a shot. First of all, congrats on having the guts to shoot your shot in such a crazy industry. Modeling is extremely competitive, and the fact is, modeling isn’t all glam and jet-setting around the world to work with famous designers. The industry is filled with rejection and takes a lot of hustle and grind to make a name for yourself. But, when you get to do what you love, even on the small scale, it makes the grind complete

It’s no secret that the modeling industry is a harsh business. It’s a profession where being judged and evaluated by your looks the minute you walk into a room is just another day at the office. Those who've been in the industry for a long time have developed the thick skin needed to get through, but for those just starting out, it can be quite a surprise just how insensitive people can be. Even the vets can sometimes get worn down by the constant criticism. Before I dive int
