how to deal with REJECTION as a model

[@JaniceMacGregor]

I was rejected by Miami Swim Week every year for over ten years until I got cast by three designers last year (2022)... at age 37. I did two runway shows and a photo shoot.

[@FreshPepper]

That’s amazing, congratulations 👏🏾

[@JaniceMacGregor]

@FreshPepper Thank you. The trick is, as you said, not to take it personally. Rejection happens, just keep trying. Not every shot is a goal 🏒 , but you don't stop taking shots!

[@jmodel1879]

Do not let rejection define you, Work harder and get better. 👌👌❤

[@TanzytheglowupG]

I agree!!

[@chinedumartins3605]

For me at first my rejection was my depression, but I had to buckle up as to, I had an aim as well as me being encouraged by my coach. So it not easy though but we gat to keep on pushing.

[@TanzytheglowupG]

Me too! It'd time to get back up when depression knocks us down get back up and tell it you hit like a bihhhh!!! - it's a on going struggle but are dreams are worth it!

I had a modeling agencies that replied to me today, (when i applied just yesterday) but they said they couldnt do much for me because they were busy with representing their current clients and which they take time with it, I applied for over 10+ of them and so lets hope I get in at least one! (15 btw)

I am a model

I live Switzerland, my daughter is mixed race and was rejected until now I can't get over it. After submitting her photos I received a call from the agency and was told that my daughter does not have the face of Switzerland! The person then went on to say they to are mixed race and to honest my daughter would not be accepted, had itbeen she had blonde hair and colored eyes probably it would have been considered. She then wished me good luck and ended the call. So now what can be said? At the time my daughter was 3 years old. I tried again the same agency when she turned 14 years and they did not even respond to receiving her photos.

Could you make a video on how to get signed with bigger agencies? Like how to make that leap? I’m currently with a few minor ones, but I feel Ike it would be a game changer for my career to upgrade, but I don’t know what to do differently.

I hope this video will help me out 🥰💚

I was rejected becuase i didnt live in New York and they stated I was too shy... What next steps should I take?

I am a 56 y/o male. 6'1", 165 lbs. People say I possess the golden triangle (shoulders to waist) Do I have any chance of being a model?

[@a.halliday1493]

Hi quick question please how do you get money or grant worldwide to go for training overseas after getting invited ? Is there any organizations that sponsor things like this?

[@OneTwoMark]

Modelling these days isn’t really about being good looking. It’s about being progressive. Which is why all models today are fat, have some form of disability or are black. Bring back the days models were good looking and about beauty, not a superiority complex you have about being insecure about your race or disability.

Hi Fresh Pepper, I have saw a lot of your videos, and have got a lot advices and informations from them. I wanna ask that, right now most agencies ask us to submit online submissions, so do us still need to email to them?

[@FreshPepper]

It’s best to increase your chances by doing both

[@user-yz2cr8hb2v]

@FreshPepper hi, could I do a consultation with YOU? About agency information and how to better communicate about what I think?

[@user-yz2cr8hb2v]

@FreshPepper can I apply agencies in LA while I live in New York?

[@pedrosiqueira1898]

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to start modeling in your 30s?

[@qasumcadow8819]

Could you tell me exercises that will decrease your height pls🙏🙏 thank you

[@rah9342]

Should I be wary if an agency is asking me to pay for a photo shoot

[@FreshPepper]

No that’s normal, but you shouldn’t be pressured to work with their photographer

[@rah9342]

@@FreshPepper ok thank you very much

[@rah9342]

One more question can you point me in the right direction to some official agencies in the east coast area like New York

[@BiancaStarksMusic]

​@@FreshPepperHi, FreshPrepper I have a quick question? Do I have to pay for compcards? Or is that a scam? They're also asking for money for the website? The Agency is ('W' Talent Management NYC) You ever heard of them?

[@square24gaming]
