I'm trying to make sure my port is strong, because I am starting to submit to agencies, give me some HONEST feedback please?

"I want to change the fashion industry. I am not the standard 5"10 high fashion model I am 5"4 which isn't playing to my advantage, but I don't mind I like being the underdog, I'll have to prove myself and work twice as hard as other models; but its worth it"

The fashion industry will never change anything for you..

You are beautiful, very beautiful. 

You don't change the industry by doing what everybody else is trying to do.

TV is old, YouTube is new.  Agencies are old....reinvent the way things are done, be your own force.  Start your own agency specializing in fashion models under 5'9" and place yourself right in the middle of the crossroads of change.

You know, honestly things are always changing. No, nothing is going to change just for you but it'll change for everyone, for the world and you can change it, not for you but for everyone. Nothing ever stays the same and there's people that want to see that change (ever heard of Bella Petite Magazine- I seriously love it! It's all about petite models and really selling you on positivity instead of negativity. Oh yeah, also, it specializes in girls 5'5 and under!) I'm kind of trying to do the same thing as you but I'm just starting (I've only been modeling for like a month and I've been doing mostly commercial style shoots) And also, agencies DO make exceptions. There's more to it than being 5'10 and you look like a model, you look like a fashion model. You can start your own agency (let me know if you do. Petite Pixies unite, right!?) or you can join one because agencies DO make expectations. Plus sized models have risen up and made their mark, why not petite?
As far as images go (sorry, I don't know how to post the image- just the link)

I LOVE this one, you look tall, gorgeous and you look high fashion. You look like a 5'10 fashion model I would see in a magazine, this is STUNNING!

I also think this is really stunning! Again, I feel like this is something I would see in a fashion magazine.

I think this is just an all over stunning shot. I love the eyes because they're an example of that Tyra Banks "smize"

You're super talented and have tons of potential! Don't let people tell you that you can't because of your height.

I don't know about the fashion industry, but I don't see why you couldn't be a successful model in general.  You are absolutely gorgeous and have a charismatic intensity.  I'd get rid of the middle 2 black & whites on your top row, I don't think they are good as the rest of your port and they don't show anything new.  I'd like to see a smile and a fun expression or two.  Otherwise, keep it up!  smile
