Well, not really
But read on
Sooo, I know Manders (Benebaby) has already inspired a lot of us, and she recently inspired me to get out of my shy-closet and do something I usually wouldn´t do. That is to get into some modelling.
I already thought "why in the world does she not get into modelling?" and now I heard that she is going to which I am very excited to hear about. So yeah, she was my muse hehe
...so after having done one photo shoot with a newbie photographer and being a Bodypainting Model (where everybody was stroking my ego and telling me I should get into modelling for real) I figured I should give it a try.
I got some helpful tips from Manders and started to contact photographers, e-mailed my pics to some modelling agencies that look for "real people" instead of the standard runway models, and also signed up on modelmayhem.com. Just too bad Austria is a small market for models, unless you are with an international agency.
What I wanna do is basically make a little bit of $, and get some cool pictures taken, get into different roles and basically get to see myself as something different than the "girl next door".
I am certainly not gonna go to an agency and be like "here I am, look at me" (no way I am confident enough for that)...I know I`m 23 and "only" 5"7 or 5"8, but that doesn´t mean I can´t still do commercial work, right?
I think that´s basically the only market in Vienna anyway. Plus, I have med school as my main priority so I´m not gonna put my heart into the idea of modelling, but if it turns into something that I enjoy doing and actually get a few paid jobs-then why not?
So yeah, that´s what has been on my mind lately. We´ll see how it goes. What do you guys think? Oh and if you have any tips they are greatly appreciated
