| Date: 2008-10-12 12:52 I've been modeling for over 2 years *but not a full time modeling. Sometimes I
don't even do it for over half a year or so.* And have been in Jurgita for 2
years now.
I'm curious. I guess I haven't even asked this since I became Jurgita member.
1. Do you think I can model?
2. What do you think of me? *In modeling point of view, lol*
3. Looking at my port *take a look at my web too pls*, do you think I'm an
amateur, semi-pro or pro?
Welll I guess those are what I'm curious right now. Gonna ask some more
questions when I have one or two. loL. Thanks so much my Jurgita friends! ^^ |

My answer to your first question, Do you think I can model?... is yes
From a modeling point of view I don't know why you're not getting far more
work,
being 5'7" tall shouldn't be any problem & you've certainly got the good
looks |

| Date: 2008-10-12 21:58 Thanks Gary! Well the reason why I don't get far more jobs is because I don't
really search for one. =.= LoL. Busy busy... I only search and accept jobs when
I have much time in my hands. |

I agree to Gary Young on everything he said, but I am looking at this jurgita
business in a different perspective. If I don't get a job here. At least it
taught me to embark on my newfound fondness in body building and started
watching my diets. THAT STILL MADE ME A TRUE MODEL IN MY OWN RIGHTS. I am
modeling for my own good health and a better self.
World Peace,
Isco |

Wether you make it or not isn't about body building
it's more dependant on facial looks, height & how you measure up
not so much build! most male models in the mags over here in the UK are more
chosen to look more like the target audience for the products the clients are
trying to sell, in fact for the past few years the only place you ever see
muscular guys these days in the UK is in bodybuilding related magazines, the
guys in the mens fashion & personal care product articles & ad's have all been
ordinary looking guys for the duration
You'll hate to hear this but the only place other than body building mag's you
usually find muscular guys is gay mags (which I do not buy) & boxing/sports
mags |

At least Francesco has a niche market.. most of the people you encourage don't
have one. |

| Date: 2008-10-15 02:12 oh gary that hurt me, my boyfriend is a model and bodybuilder but turns down and
stays away from gay or any gay related offers, he models gadgets for T3
magazine.. because of his build. Its his body and attitude and appeal that got
him the job for the local T3 here. Because its what they saw in him. Its who he
is and he market himself that way.
i dunno, gary sometimes your words are careless.. just to be honest. |

 ID: 183878 Posts: 1540 | Date: 2008-10-16 08:11 Glad to see you active again. You must realize by now that people hijack topics
all the time, you just have to keep swinging away at your subject.
You are in a tough market. Unless you find a way to make yourself stand out, you
are merely one of thousands of Asian girls with black hair and dark eyes. But
you can be so creative--as with the several shots you did with the mirror and in
the restroom. Then, you go and post a nothing picture like the one in the rapper
pose, looking like a tourist vacation shot.
If your portfolio is as scattered as your postings here, you will not get work.
You must focus and carefully select only your best work for display or to take
to agencies. Specifically, don't take any sentimental favorites because you had
a good time at the shoot or they were done by someone you like, be merciless in
selecting or have someone else do it for you.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try! |

| Date: 2008-10-16 22:37 you have to really work on it though and success doesnt just come right away
just like one snap of your finger or a fairy god mother appears and your wish is
granted.
you dont need comments because i know you already know you can model since you
are already here and i've read your experience and you are already in this
industry you already have penetrated it with your knowledge from modelling
school and your exposuere.
You dont need people to tell you if they think you can model because you are
already a model. You dont need people to tell you if you look like pro semi pro
or pro. like i said you are already a model but if you want to be pro then be
pro! Tell yourself you are a pro and make yourself a pro and you'll get there.
Fishing for comments wont help if you dont go out and market your own self and
not wait for someone to discover you and place you to the limelight right away.
You might end up frustrated if you keep on asking people about what they think
but you dont really put what they say into use. What you need are
constructive comments so that people can tell you what you need to improve on
and what you already have perfected.
only you can asses yourself really because jurgita sees only a virtual you. you
are the only one who really knows who you are and what you can do. So be
patient. may it be a long time but perseverance and patience pays. |

| Date: 2008-10-17 01:37 1. Anyone can model. Just have to find the right market and photographer and be
patient...and sometimes lucky.
2.Good body language for most of the shots you posted. Facial expressions seem
ok, eye contact good when needed. However, there are really not enough shots up
of you for me to make a solid call. I would suggest adding more.
3. IMO, pros get paid all the time, semi-pros get paid sometimes and amateurs
almost never get paid anything at all. LOL
Sincerely wish you the best with your dreams and plans. |

| Date: 2008-10-17 10:47 Thank you everyone for the comments!
Well actually I was just asking about what you guys people think of me in the
modeling way. I'm not really into modeling anymore, since, I've known just how
smell the industry is *for me-and what I've learned*.
But I do like modeling for my friends, and for my self! ^^
And Yes, I NEED constructive comments to improve my self. So, constructive
comments are more than welcome!  |

Here my feedback:
Desperate: I like it.
Picss: Middle shot only (Love it!!)
Just 4 & Play in the Sand: Posing could be better here.
Through the Mirror: Good concept, but hot pants need to be a tighter fit or at
least arranged better.
Hope this helps! |
