How does one become a male model?
First off, you need to fit the physical requirements. Make models are usually between 5'11" and 6'2", at a weight of 140 to 165 pounds. They are also either very conventionally good-looking or have an "interesting" face. Most male models start out between 18 and 25, since buyers of male fashions aren't usually into the baby-faced look. Some continue working into their thirties.

An agent finds you bookings and keep a 10% to 33% cut. Some models can freelance, but that's not how they'll land the major gigs.You can find an agent through Open calls:This is when an agency opens their doors to everyone. On a specified date, unsigned models can wait their turn to meet the agents. You'll be called into an office, and the people in charge will look at you and determine if you have potential. You don't even need head shots. Model search: Similar to an open call, a model search is held by agencies who travel to small towns looking for new faces. However, because they involved travel, model searches usually charge a small processing fee, something along the lines of $25 U.S.. You might be rejected, but you'll get to meet industry professionals.Scouting company: For between $60 and $150, you submit your profile to them online and they'll forward your information to major agencies. Reputable scouting services include www.modelscouts.com and www.minxmodels.com.On your own: You can always call agencies to see when their next open call is, or see if you can drop in. Don't get ripped off! Avoid modeling schools and pushy photographers, both of which might try to scam you or rip you off by charging thousands of dollars for their services.
Why do modeling agency's want tall people?
To me it makes no sense if you look great in clothes and you can walk in heels and you have everything but the hight why can't you model? I think it's stupid because you should be able to do what you want. It's like when you go for a job they can't higher you if you're fat or skinny they have to higher you based on your past jobs and hct

How can I be a model?
Practice. Like any skill, it takes practice and study.Study the poses, facial expressions, body language, makeup, wardrobe, and styling of professional models who are doing the style of modeling that you want to pursue.Evaluate how those professional models respond to the lighting in the photo, whether it’s natural light or studio lights. Study the phrase “find the light” and practice it.Modeling the Light: A Model's Role in Lighting – ESSENTIALS For PhotographersPractice poses and expressions with a friend and a phone or point-n-shoot. You don’t have to pay a photographer if you just want to practice. Even phone photos will let you evaluate your own abilities and results in posing and expression.Practice your makeup and wardrobe/styling skills. Professional models on commercial shoots will have a makeup artist and stylist, but when you’re starting out you’re on your own. There’s no shortage of makeup tutorials on Youtube - one of my favorites is Pixiwoo: https://www.youtube.com/user/pix...Find a local photography club or photography meetup group - these are often in need of amateur models. You likely won’t get paid but you get practice and experience in front of the camera. You might get great photos back, you might get crap, but even if the photos are mediocre you’ll be able to evaluate your own performance, poses, expressions, and interaction with light. And, you’ll get experience working with photographers, being in front of the camera, and taking direction. IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all photo clubs are created equal. Some are great and professionally-run, some are poorly run and full of creeps.Stay humble. Take direction and critique without feeling personally insulted. However, at the same time, if you ever feel unsafe, you have the power to pack your things and leave.Once you have a hundred shoots under your belt, pick your best results that are in the style of modeling that you want to pursue, and present them to an agency.
