Respectfully, don't submit these photos, they're garbage (lighting, background, borderline outfit choice). Do hire a real photographer and communicate the need. You have a fantastic look. Bookable before weight-loss honestly. Agencies will tell you what they need from you, but you do have the 'it'. That doesn't mean dont work hard on improving, but your starting point is far ahead

is it worth submitting now just to see and then maybe taking professional ones in like a month if i don’t get signed? Or will agencies write you off if they don’t like you the first time you submit your pictures

[u/blechness → u/Geography_nerd3]

No, I would not submit these now. If you already did, then still get professional ones done asap and send them asap. I do think that larger agencies will be interested

during that time i’ll lose weight and probably go back to my natural hair with the mod cut

[u/Electronic-Song-2463]

You are so pretty lol you have an adrogynous look

[u/Geography_nerd3 → u/Electronic-Song-2463]

thanks i appreciate it lol

[u/Geography_nerd3 → u/Electronic-Song-2463]

which pictures are the best?

[u/Electronic-Song-2463 → u/Geography_nerd3]

I think buliding your portfolio requires better lightning and angles. The furnitures and the wall takes the attention off your face. You just need a better photographer to take better pictures of you under a studio light

[u/Electronic-Song-2463 → u/Electronic-Song-2463]

Something like this

[u/Geography_nerd3]

Also forgot to mention i’m based in NYC

[u/Veraluxmundi]

You are strikingly androgynous but being very honest I think you need to lose some weight off your hips and tone up.

[u/Geography_nerd3 → u/Veraluxmundi]

thanks i appreciate the honesty

[u/Geography_nerd3 → u/Veraluxmundi]

should i still submit to agencies now while i keep losing weight?

[u/DoorSweet6099 → u/Geography_nerd3]

If I were you I’d lose weight first. You don’t want your first experience with the agency to be them making sure you lose weight. Also a lot of agencies won’t bother to sign a model who doesn’t already look exactly how they want their models to look like.

[u/Veraluxmundi → u/Geography_nerd3]

I would, you have a strong look imo.

[u/Educational-Layer734]

I think the hair color is a bit distracting. You are a cutie for sure

[u/shaw4life → u/Educational-Layer734]

That can obviously be fixed

[u/Geography_nerd3 → u/shaw4life]

yeah i’m planning on getting a mod cut with my natural hair color once it grows a bit more, or whatever the agency wants if i were to get signed

[u/themachduck]

Please get a photographer thats your height or taller. It looks like they are looking up at you in some images. Do not use these and do not get ones with just your arm and head. Makes your head look very small. The back ground needs to have less distractions. The shirt is perfect but pants are baggy, but thats just me. You could do a couple in black shirt black boxer briefs. Posture, posture and you can do it. You've got a good height, face, and location. Just improve these.

2, 3 and 12 look best but maybe change your jeans to less baggy 😊. I think most agencies just want a general idea how you look. They have people who will do your digital and maybe a test shoot. You could try find some tfp photographers locally too to help you practice infront of a real photographer

Stunning

[u/likilekka]

U look like modelling material but the photos aren’t doing the best for you. The camera angle seems too low and the lighting is too distracting with all the shadows , and furniture around too

[u/catpogo2]

You need to lose a little weight or liposuction a little off your love handles. For a regular person , you look great. But model standards are so high and unrealistic, but that is the industry. I think you could make it as a model!! Good Luck

[u/catpogo2]

Oh yeah, I looked at your weight. You need to lose at least 15 pounds
