Are Good Looks Is The Only Need to Become A Model?

That’s an interesting question that I’ve thought about a lot and one I think you should consider too. The answer may surprise you.

In my career as both an international high fashion model and now as a model scout I’ve met many models and modeling hopefuls who were very good looking in person. As well, they had the right height and measurements. But often they were lacking one crucial thing–being photogenic. And because they weren’t particularly photogenic, their physical beauty just didn’t come across in their pictures.

And by the same token, you’d probably be surprised by how many of the industry’s best and brightest print models don’t even get a second glance on the street. Some of them aren’t especially great looking in person, but everything just comes together when they’re in front of the camera.

My point is that either type model (photogenic or not) can enjoy good careers, since one for example may be perfect for runway, while the photogenic or videogenic teen model may work better for fashion print or television commercials.

Yet even when someone has all the right physical gifts going for them for a particular kind of modeling, I can tell you that alone won’t be enough for them to “make it big”.

What do I mean?

Simply that looks are just the beginning; there’s A LOT more to succeeding than that. I often say, “Your looks will get you in the door; the rest will keep you there.”

The “rest” covers many topics, but I can promise you that everything I’ll share with you is real. It’s based on my
years of modeling for many of the world’s most exclusive clients and now as an active scout for the Paris high
fashion market.

The “rest” is all about treating your modeling career as a business. Not as a hobby, or the homecoming dance, or a popularity contest.

It’s about harnessing the amazing power of your mind to help you get what you want as a model.

And it’s about realizing that you don’t need to be physically perfect (no one is–not even the most famous!) to
find the success you want as a model.

I know this is true,  since I’ve seen plenty of physically drop-dead gorgeous young models who failed to attain long-term success, and just as many less obviously stunning types who went on to enjoy very lucrative modeling careers.

The difference very often had to do more with what was going on inside their heads than with how they looked.

So what does this mean for you?

Very simply that the key to success in this business is only partly based on your natural physical gifts. At least
equally important is how you use your mind to move forward with your career. We’re talking about the Inner You–the part you have complete control over.
