   You seem to have a pretty face, but some full body photos would tell us more since modeling usually depends a lot more on the body. Modeling is a hard industry to get into. The "ideal" measurements are 34-24-34. If you’re at least 5’5 or so, you’ll have a better chance to get into commercial or print modeling. If you’re taller like 5’10, it’s possible to get into glamour, high fashion, and runway modeling. Learn your body type and the best photos to take which will flatter your image.Before even thinking about applying to good agencies, I would suggest starting a portfolio based on the types of modeling you’d like to do (take photos companies want, not dumb ones like most of these girls), and practice your poses. This will give you a chance to learn what types of photos and poses you look best in. Since it’s very hard to get into a good agency, any thing to improve your chances will be great. Plus if you have a portfolio, you can deal directly with companies you want to model for! I’ve modeled mostly in texas and LA, and sometimes even pretty girls get overlooked because they take the wrong types of pics. So learn your body type and the kinds of things you can do to flatter your look, so you have a competitive edge with agencies. When you’re comfortable enough with yourself and your portfolio, start looking for agencies that specialize in the type(s) of modeling you’d like to do. Some good agencies are LA Models, Ford, Entourage, Wilhelmina, etc. Once you get started modeling, the money is pretty good depending on how many jobs you get. It’s really fun (at least i enjoy it!) It’s a good side job to have in hs or college because they work around your schedule. But like i said, the most difficult part is actually getting into the industry. Once you’re in, it gets easier! If you’re serious about modeling or need help with your portfolio, feel free to email me on here. I remember how hard it was when I first started! Good luck

   Your height will affect you depending on what type of model you want to be. Runway models tends to be taller than catalogue models. The best thing to do is first decide on what type of model you would like to do in the future (i.e. commercial, promotional, catalogue, runway, editorial, face, legs, etc.) Then find out which agencies higher women in your height/weight range. Then research the different modelling agencies in your area. It’s best to cross check these with a comment site (such as an online forum or their Facebook page), or even a website that reviews businesses. (For example, Canada has the "Better Business Bureau".) After you have found a few legitimate modelling agencies, check out their website. Do they have information on how to get involved with them? If not, look for their phone number and call them up or set an appointment with them. Remember, when you’re interviewing, not only is it about your looks, but your personality. No matter your height or your weight, the most important thing you can do is be confident. If YOU feel good about how you look THEY will feel good about how you look too. As for losing weight, there is no easy way to lose weight. If you really, really want to lose weight, the best thing you can do is focusing on eating healthy and exercising for at least 30 minutes a day. A lot of people think that cutting calories is a good way to lose weight, however, this is not the right thing to do! If you don’t eat enough, your body will think that it is starving and losing weight will be more difficult. Make sure that you eat full, healthy meals three times a day. These meals should include fruit and vegetables, protein, grains, dairy, and healthy fats. Plus, if you are eating healthy, your skin and hair will become healthier and look better, which helps with modelling too!
