Modeling for Dummies

[natelav129]

Before anyone jumps into the classic fellow NT bashin, please just chill out right quick.

Now there's a ton of us out there who are quite fashionably conscious and are certainly involved in the industry.

Though I wouldn't consider myself a trendsetter, I've always been told, mostly because of my physique, that I should give modeling a run.

So, simple question. How many NTers out there know anything about making a jump in the the modeling industry. Where to start? (I'm in Atl btw) What do I need?
Google been givin me too much bs, so i'm askin the homies, who are hopefully mature enough to help a brutha out.

Appreciate It.

Find a local agency and walk in. It takes tough skin though, I walked into several agencies at age 16, and they literally laughed me out the door. At 20 I was getting gigs that paid 500 for a few hours of work. You WILL be told no. IF you can roll with that, and keep it moving, just walk into an agency and ask for information.
Also, research what you would like to do. Print, Runway, ect....
