/fa/, I was hoping for some opinions on my hair...

I'm moving to NYC in a little while, and I'm considering trying my hand at modeling, but I don't know what I should do with my hair. Obviously when its shorter it opens up my face a bit more, but I kind of like it longer.

pic related, me with short hair

23 is old for modeling dude.

No I am not trolling you. Most dudes start that path prior to finishing highschool with peaks around 20-21. You could still get in though, and have a relatively good lifespan of a few years, but by 25-26, you'd likely get dropped by your agency unless you really made some headway.

Outside that, NYC is a jungle and expensive as fuck to live there. If your idea of the perfect lifestyle is wondering around doing free shit and not drinking or chilling much unless its in some shithole drinking cheap beer, then you need to rethink NYC. That is, unless you are rolling in with a sizable bank to support yourself.

Sizeable is at least 5 figures, if you have a couple grand that wont really do much unless you have work lined up.

>> No.6566777

>>6566722

yeah, like I said before I'm not moving to NYC with the sole intention of modeling. I'll be moving to finish my degree, and I'll be sharing a room with my girlfriend. We'll both be working shitty jobs, and as long as we're living in BK I would say it's feasible. I'm not much of a drinker and I tend to stay inside when I'm not working/going to school,

Forsure dude, goodluck with it. Definitely worth a shot.

Give TV/Movie a go too, you can usually get extra work really easily. It pays like shit, but for a day off, why not go get free food/drinks and stand around for 3 hours while making 50-70 bucks?

>> No.6566799

>>6566791


Out of curiosity, do you live in NYC? What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, $50-70 a day doesn't sound too bad, when the alternative is working as a barista or a waiter.

You're thinking of female models who get picked up at 14. He isn't saying he's going right to an agency, just to castings. Male models tend to be aged between 20-30.

>> No.6566827

>>6566799
Extra work isn't something to look to to make a decent wage, mostly because it is here and there, but maybe NYC has enough productions to really flex that.

I don't like talking about where I live on here because of crazies, and I also don't work in these fields at all. I have done extra work a number of times in the past though, its boring as fuck, but not bad.

Nah, I am thinking of male models and getting picked up around 17-18-19. The look he has wouldn't be the type of look that would work until he is 30, usually as the older the model gets, the more manly/beaf cake they tend to get. This isn't really a hardfast rule, but it is visible within the modeling community if you think about it.

23 is too old for a variety of reasons, but it is also not a bad age to give what he is talking about a shot. You can try at any point really.

Its not like he's attempting to become famous.
I don't doubt they'd take him.

Also, yeah 23 is a little too late for runway and it would have been better if he had started at 18, but he's fine for print/commercial. I know an old man who is technically a male model, he does print modeling. Or he could be a model for hairdressers.

I see people on /fa/ do this a lot, you guys generalize as though there's one type of modeling, and its runway.

I think you are generalizing what I am saying and not taking it into context. I was just giving them the advice that if he wants to do it as a fun side project, then he should. But beyond that, not to really put much hope into it. I don't see anything wrong with saying that at all.

>>6566980
Cole wasn't 23 when he started modeling. He's only 26/27 now, and he was likely at his peak around 22 or 23.

Never move to NYC with a girl. They can't stand the stress. Oh by themselves they are always fine but with a bf they'll hate everything the city smells, it's to expensive, our bathroom has no toilet, I can't find my keys (they are always leaving the house without their fucking keys), I don't have any tampons, on and on and on and if your ass is anywhere in sight it will all be your fault. You'll say "No man. My gf is cool." NO she's not you'll see. Good luck focusing on modeling with every old fat gay dude trying to stick something into you or asking you to stick something of yours into them.
You want some advice. Come here without the gf, get used to old dudes sucking your dick and focus on your modeling.

look for some stylist who works with an photgrapher and do some headshots with different lengths of hair. It will add some range for your portfolio or whatever that is called.
