I made certain steps to return to college plus I got scouted
Apparently I have a good "look" They took my name number and a spazzy picture and gave me a business card.
Next step is that the bookers have to like me. Which won't happen cause I looked like an eejit on the photo
We are always our own worst critics when we see ourselves in photographs.
I have no idea what an "eejit" could be or might look like, but in the one pic I've seen of you, you look pretty damn good, as "hot babes" go.
Looks should not matter, anyway. They took your photograph, most likely, for identification/record keeping purposes, only.
I got scouted twice today!
Fuck me, I don't know what's going on. It's not like I look different or anything Plus I'd make a shitty model cause I'm not photogenic. Although the third so called "scouting" was just a pervy guy who was trying to get laid "Larry Model Management" ffs, like that sounds genuine.
I suppose I misunderstood the significance of your inclusion of the word, "plus" in your statement. I also now realise that you are referring to a different kind of scouting. I though that you were still talking in a "return to college" context.
What happened today sounds to me more like one possible "scouting" and one outright "scoping." Anyway, keep in mind that to be successful as a model, a person does not have to be particularly photogenic or anything at all like normal. They only have to be interesting and not overly unpleasant looking. You are very interesting and more than pleasant to look at. Don't worry about that part.
I believe that the expression, "photogenic," is a most horrible term when used to describe how predictably appealing a specific facial structure might appear to be when misrepresented in a two dimensional rendering. The well qualified artists working with live models in two dimensions have an incredible number of tools at their disposal, many of which are quite effective in allowing an artist to create a powerful illusion of that missing third dimension and implying missing dimensional information well beyond illusion OR reality in a flat art medium.
Remember, you can not asses your "looks" in a photograph by the same flipped-around-backwards standard you are accustomed to seeing when you look in a mirror. Might work if your face was one hundred per cent perfectly symmetrical to the finest detail, but then you would not be human.
Be careful of any modeling agent who does not present you with a portfolio of working models they have represented in the past.
Still, I feel great and it definitely boosted my self-esteem up loads
This is good to see!
