I really want to start modelling over the summer to earn some money and my biggest dream is to do runway (however I can’t do this cause I’m too short). Does anyone know much about petite modelling and any tips to get into the industry? Thanks so much.

HEY, i would recommend getting some portfollio photos of yourself. its really easy, ill try to attach some photos if i can. then take your folder and hand it to a modelling agency. there u might be asked to do a walk and just pose. some will accept, some wont but with modelling you need to understand rejection is part of your journey. in regards to your height it really depends. personally i would recomment cosmetic modelling first as you dont need to be a specific height. then once you build up your portfolio more complanies will be moe intrigued by your experience. practice practice practice your walk. confidence is key. as long as you act as though you dont care youll be good. have attitude in your walk aswelll. if u want more tips lmk ml. hope this helps and good luck!! xxx

Aw thank you so much, that’s really helpful 🙂 How much do portfolio photos tend to cost or can you take them yourselves?
Apply to as many agencies as you can, head to https://models.com/agencies/ and check out the requirements at different agencies. Attend walk ins and take polas too.
My brother who graduated from London College of printing (now called communication) told me never go to an agency which charges you upfront because they take commission from your earnings when you get work.
