Appall Oh Geez.

As a former mod on a very active forum, I understand "rules is rules". Feel free to delete. I guess I sort of read into it a question that wasn't there.

Moderator Note!

Kevin posted a Mod Note earlier. Everyone please remember this is not the critique forum. It is easy to get confused on threads like this since its hard to give the model advice without meaningful critique. When that happens suggest the model start a thread in the Critique forum. Unfortunately that often requires asbestos underwear as well. sad

I am not going to beat anyone with a wet noodle. The responses have been well-intentioned, respectively and helpful and the model has asked for critiques in the Critique forum. I'm just going to leave things as they stand.

Thank you everyone for keeping this a friendly, helpful thread.

Hello,
I think it is a lot of work to be a self business, (model or actor.) The initial energy that it requires and then the subsequent energy and maintenance to promote yourself and look for work, (sales,) is high.

While maintaining your product, (you,) takes time too.

It is work.

Granted, for now I am doing it as an amateur I hope to do it professionally in the future.

You have a good portfolio, I know MANY less attractive girls that live off of modeling. Be more proactive and take all kinds of opportunities, network...

By limiting yourself to clothed only, you are severely limiting your marketability.

Very true.... 80% of my shoots usually require some kind of skin, be it a side boob, butt cheek or whatever. I'd say 90% of those eventually progress to full figure work.

Mostly, the shoots are progressive. Start with an outfit, take it off.. repeat
