hi there,
if you are serious about modeling you really need to get together with a decent photographer.  This may mean you actually need to pay for some professional shots.  It would be unfair to really comment on your potential when many of your shots are out of focus, and very poorly excucuted.
Hope this helps.
Wendy

Thank you for your input every little thing helps. I do i agree with you. im just starting to get my feet wet in this industry and very excited to do so,

OP: for starters let me share that you are going to get a million and one "opinions" on this site. I'm not sure what your goals are with modeling exactly, but from reading your bio it sounds like you are simply looking to dabble. If that is the case, take some time to experiment with a few shoots and have fun with it.

However, if you are interested in modeling as a potential career, I respectfully disagree with everyone above me that you should "go pay a photographer" to get quality shots. Instead of wasting your time, I would suggest to go directly to the gate keepers which are the commercial agencies (you won't make fashion with your stats unfortunately) to see if you have what it takes. Agencies will also tell you if you are wasting your time with modeling or not very quickly. There is potential with a commercial look for you, but again if you are simply dabbling in modeling, that is fine too. [/quote

1. It is breezy and lite, maybe too breezy. I might read a profile like this and think you don't sound serious and it might make me question your reliability.
2. I'm put off by spelling and grammatical mistakes and you probably have over a dozen of these. Some of your sentences don't make sense. In other words your profile could do with several rewrites until it is perfectly crafted which would show me, as your potential employer, that you've put some effort into it.
3. Your goal (last sentence) and most of your profile emphasizes what you want, why not tell me how you can help me get my needs met also.

if so what kind of model...

I'll simply say you have a good look and that this part of your OP was very well answered by DougBPhoto here: Career for Elle?

This is a good example of how your writing comes off as rushed and clunky. I reread everything I write two- or three-times to make sure I'm communicating what it is I wish to communicate to help my reader understand. You might try the same thing.

To answer this part of your post, it is not so much a matter of "fix"ing as it is in learning. If I wanted to be a pianist, it is not that my playing is broken, it is that I simply have not yet learned the craft, theory and technique of it. Approach modelling as a new student.

I assume by "up your portfolio" you mean to raise the caliber of the work currently shown there. Great idea and covered by other posts. What else? Well, you can begin the work of becoming a great model by studying then trying out what you've learned. I've always thought watching every season of ANTM and filling a notebook with the things you learn each episode would be a good way to start. Others have their ideas, search threads out on learning to model and follow the best advice you see there. Google it.

Best of luck.

im 21 but i look like im 17 im 5'5 i weight between 103-105  italian irish.

In order to have any type of modeling career you need to have professional images in your portfolio.  Most of the images in your portfolio are just blurry snapshots which will only cause people to dismiss you as a potential candidate for any possible work.  You can hire some pros to create images for you or you can do some trade work if you find some pros that are interested.

If your goal is to make it a career where you could make money to live on - no, I am sorry but I don't think so. 

If you want to have some fun and maybe get a small job or two occasionally with some modest compensation (which you seem to have done), sure, there would be a future in that.

If you are serious, go for the big one. Google the most famous,
You will find out that they require NO PROSESSIONAL looking photos.
No make up, no hair styling, they want Polaroid's, iPhone, point and soot pictures.Head shots, upper body, full body.. They are pros and can see your potential.
Any agent wanting to charge you for a promt card etc... is out to rob you.

this is total bs

Polaroids are for fashion models and even fashion models are known to pay for tests and have expenses deducted from future earnings.

She doesn't have the stats for fashion.

I can list quite a few legit commercial agencies in my market that will require at least a professional headshot and if you want to do print a comp card too.

I think you have a good look, memorable face, pretty.  Genre?   Experiment.....be sure to add to the list.....art, alternative, beauty, editorial, pinup, etc. 

Runway...probably not....but who cares, that doesn't pay crap anyways.

ah the industry's opinion matters. Being self -delusional is not an asset in life
