Question: MODELING question, what should i do!?
received an email from the casting director of Elite Model Management asking me about my age and other infos, in reply to some photos i sent!. http://www!.flickr!.com/photos/rachellesna!.!.!.
Last week i spoke for a few days with a top agency in the UK the scouting director loved my look but the owner thought i was too old, i said i was 21!. It was really deflating because they had asked e to go to the embassy to check about the visa!. I am from the caribbean!.
So now Elite is asking me for my age, should i lie about it or tell the truth, i fear it might be an obstacle!.,i really dont know what to do!.
And what do you think about the photos, cause i am sending them to other agencies!.
How old do i look!? thanks !

I do photo shoot all the time and everrrrrrrrrry model is over 21!.
Tell your age!. Just b-cuz one refused you, means nothing!. They are after young gir;s and this doesn't sound good!. i have heard this story often where young models don't get paid etc!.!.!.etc!.!.!.
Honesty is the best policy!. i think you have a nice look!. All you need is the proper person to add the proper make-up to highlight some of your features!.

Tell your age!. If your under the age of 18 it is more of an obstacle for the photographers and the agency than yourself!. You are just the one posing and being photographed!. The agency and photographers have to deal with the paperwork and the liability!. Plus they are more concerned about you not telling your real age!. They just don't want a lawsuit where there is a minor in a almost revealing shootWww@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I think you should tell the truth, you never know!.
But places do hire 18-30 year olds!.
More for magazine and clothing lines!.

You look 20-21Www@QuestionHome@Com

Always tell the truth - especially to an employer!!! - Lying will ALWAYS get you in trouble one way or another!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
