Anyone can become a model today. A few years ago, however, only women who are tall and slim could become models. This trend has changed because fashion designers have realized that the vast majority of consumers they are targeting do not look anything like the models they use. These designers now want slim, medium sized and plus-sized men/women to help them showcase some of their fashion lines. This means that you can become a model if you want to.
The first thing you must do to if you want to be a professional model is to complete the prescribed modelling course. This will give you an introduction to modelling. Next, you need to upgrade your wardrobe and create a portfolio. You can hire a reputable photographer to help you with the portfolio. You also need to get an agent who has successfully helped upcoming models to get exposure. Lastly, you need to work on your confidence and walking style because you might find yourself on a runway sooner rather than later.
