Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You definitely are a very pretty girl, however pouting does not suit your face.

Considering your height, you have little to no chance of runway work. You could try Television and commercial modelling, maybe leading into limited photographic work.

If you want to know whether or not you will make it in the modelling world go to a couple of agencies and just ask. If they tell you that you need training and they say they will pay for it, it means you are in, because they feel they will make money back on their investment. If they tell you to pay for their courses, then they are just taking you for a ride, and don't really think you will go far.

Either way be prepared to be told the truth. And if you aren't what they are looking for, you will have to accept it.

Please don't let unscrupulous people take advantage of you.
And don't ever do nude or bikini work until you have already built up a reputation with other work and have full professional portfolio.

Also realise that you may not succeed, so be on the look out for other things that you would enjoy...being a model is not the only thing you can do.
