[@k.lis3e]

Do you have a video on how to make connections?? (I.e. how to set up collabs, popular conventions, workshops, fashion week, popular events for starters) I always hear about events like this but can never find out how to attend them.

[@FreshPepper]

Instagram is great for making connections. Follow other models, fashion photographers and agencies. Reach out to people in your city and see if they are open for collabs. You can also use an app like www.fstop.fm to find out artist to collab with. As far as workshops, most of them aren't really worth it. You can learn everything you need to know for free on KZbin. For events, I'll say look up runway shows in your city via eventbrite and see if you can get tickets

[@charlesgoodman5739]

try promotional model companies in your area.

Hi man! Thank you so much for the video! What if you aren’t “interesting-looking” and have more of a “commercial” look but your heart is set on High Fashion? Should I go into commercial for now and hope to get picked up for high fashion? And what exactly entails commercial modeling? Is it ambassadors of brands and print or? Thank you so much

[@FreshPepper]

Hi, you should go into commercial modeling if you have the specs for commercial so as to not to waste your time and money going for High Fashion castings. Commercial modeling include, prints, catalogue shoots, Tv ads basically shoots relate to the public(shoots that involve selling an item for the general public) .

[@siphi1570]

@@FreshPepper Hey, thank you so much for replying! I will look into commercial modelling, although it doesn't interest me as much. If it is where I have a chance, I'll try it out. Thank you so much for explaining.

[@ivanaandric5703]

If you have body measuremants (hight + required body measurments) for high fashion you should definitly try it. There is no such thing as not interesting looking. Alessandra Ambrosio is very generic plus she did a lot of corective surgery to become even more generic and she's a supermodel. Not every supermodel has to have Gisele's big nose or something off. God luck to you❤!

FP!! Another great video :) I have a question for ya, I’m already signed in Chicago (lifestyle) but it seems as is there barely any work. Is that normal? Seems to be bridal and mom stuff, the end. A couple of fitting clothes but nth major, couple runways that ended up being a bigger expense rather than anything else. Rough market it seems, maybe there’s just not much?

[@FreshPepper]

Hi Catalina, sometimes its seasonal in Chicago. You can go months without booking anything and then you can get slammed with bookings (especially during fashion week). That’s how Chicago is...perhaps you should look into representation in NYC as well

Hey ! Great content i have been following you for a while now. I am an aspiring model i dont have the height but a really nice agency did approve my portfolio but didnt revert to the introduction video i sent. Most agencies ask for RAW pictures without makeup and editing but you said that there is no such thing as RAW digitals in the industry , though i believe in what you said but i am afraid to submit professional digitals as it clearly states that poloroid shots are needed. It would be great if you can clarify this.

You don't have to wear glasses, there are contacts now. Plus not everyone who is above 175 cm has a body or a face propotional or photogenic enough to become a model. But if you really want it bad enough you'll fight for it. Gisele is also not very pretty and was rejected 42 times but in the end (when she got in a relationship with de Caprio😂😅😂) she became a supermodel and not all of his former model long time girlfriends became that though most of them did😅.

Hi, this is your subscriber from India, you are a wonderful person, So honest, real and humble, loving your content, keep up the good work, congratulations, soon you are going to hit 50k subscribers.. I want to ask you some things, hoping if you could answer that, I am 24 years old, I am almost 6 feet tall, last year I have gained 10 kg of weight and now I have stretch marks on my thighs, Now considering above facts, can I be a runway model , covering it up by body makeup or something and I don't want to wear short clothes ( i.e bikini, really short pair of shorts)or models don't have the choice of saying , I can't wear short clothes or clothes that are showing to much cleavage, plz answer, Because I really want to try modelling, I think, this is my last chance now, I would really appreciate that

Hi Priya, thanks for your message. As long as you meet the height requirement and your body fat percentage is around 8-12%, I don't think the stretch marks will be a problem for runway modeling.

[@ablissfuljourney_]

I’m super curious as to how you mentally navigated being rejected by the same agency who ended up representing you? I’m about to have a meeting with an agency who rejected me 5 years ago when I was just starting and I can’t stop thinking « Now that I have worked with big brands, they are interested in me, but they didn’t want to give me a chance when I started ». Definitely an ego thing but I’m finding it hard to reframe this thought. If you would have any advice?

[@FreshPepper]

Never take rejection personally. It could just be bad timing, or perhaps you weren’t ready at that moment.

[@ibstayfly]

I submitted to so many agencies but never get a response

[@FreshPepper]

They get too many submissions to respond to everyone. Keep trying other agencies, and submit high quality photos that shows off your best features. You want to make sure you’re making a great first impression
