Hey /fa/

I was wondering what it really takes to model, because I see a lot of models that have poor bodies. I mean, a lot of them. For instance Cara Delevingne or Erika Linder, who are signed to Next Models. This gives me the impression that like, your body has really nothing to say as a model (unless you're a underwear model ofc).

Also, is really strong cheekbones necessary?

pic related is Erika Linder, she is a male/female model who I think has a weaker body.

>> No.7519907

modeling actually doesn't follow your /fit/ stronk ripped guys/juicy sweatpants curvy bitches aesthetics

Neither of these chicks have "poor bodies". They're just nothing special in the modeling world. Cara got signed because connections. Erikas whole shtick is looking like a dude so obviously she can get away with having a boyish body.

>Also, is really strong cheekbones necessary?
No. They just can't be weak. There are a 100 little things that are more important than how strong your cheekbones are.

>> No.7520054

>>7519969
Can you define weak cheekbones? Like, if you have a picture example.

And what are some of those 100 little things that are more important than cheekbones? And what if you have all those things except.. cheekbones.

Cara's face is somewhat special though, but I don't know her height.

>> No.7520076

On the subject of getting into modeling, is it more effective to go in for casting calls or does sending in photographs give you the same odds of being scouted.

this is provided you have the height, measurements, bone structure, etc.

>> No.7520098

>>7520076

169cm is 5'6" LMFAO. Minimum cut-off for models is basically 5'9", anything shorter than that and you have to know someone to get in (Cara) and even then anything under 5'7" is absolutely unacceptable (as in real life.
